Middle Mountain
Shelburne, NH
Trailheads, measurements, times, distances, and maps are all approximate and relative to the hike(s) as shown below.
The Middle Mountain Trail
Route: Peabody Brook Trail, Middle Mountain Trail
Peabody Brook Trail is basically a woods road up to the trail junction - dry and in good shape.
Middle Mountain Trail was also generally dry, with a few minor patches of mud. Some of the moss covered ledges were a little slippery (ie the moss was moving around underfoot). The trail, between the logging road portion and the ledges, is quite vague - no footbed established and fresh leaves over the top - but the blazing is fresh and adequate.
Some very nice past-peak foliage colors throughout.
