The Middle Mountain Trail Route: Middle Mountain Trail, (Middle Mountain), Middle Mountain Trail The forecast and the skies didn't look great, but I still decided to give a sunset hike at Middle Mountain a try. Arriving at the unplowed, but packed down parking area, I was soon on my way with my snowshoes. While they weren't necessary, I found the traction helpful. I arrived at the summit just in time to see the sunset in progress. While the temperature at the trailhead as about 20 degrees, it seemed a heck of a lot colder with the wind. The sunset was very nice considering the cloudy forecast. The moonlight helped me to get back to the parking area without needing my headlamp. The temperature at this point was 15 degrees - brisk, but not too bad.
