Middle Trail is an easy, out-and-back hike of about 2.5 miles in the Jackson Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises from a low point of about 6,342 feet to a high of about 6,585 feet, with a total elevation gain of about 683 feet over the round trip. The climb is back-loaded, with the steepest stretch of about 12% grade near the start, and the trail is natural-surfaced. Summer is the most comfortable time to go.

The trail is open from about May 1 to November 1, and the trip takes about an hour. Bikes and horses are both allowed. Annes Pond is about 0.4 miles away and Rimrock Trail about 0.6 miles.
