Hike the Mid-Mountain Trail for Fall Foliage
HikingModerateSummerYear-round
Traverse this 8,000-foot contour line through massive aspen groves that turn brilliant gold in early October.
Itinerary tips
- 1Park at the Silver Lake Village lot at Deer Valley and look for the trailhead markers near the Sterling Express lift.
- 2Plan for at least 3 to 4 hours to complete a significant out-and-back section of this 20-mile point-to-point trail.
- 3Carry a windbreaker and extra layers even on sunny days, as temperatures drop significantly at the 8,000-foot elevation.
- 4Use the free Park City bus system or the Silver Lake Express chairlift to reach the trailhead if you want to avoid parking logistics.
- 5Bring a hydration pack with at least two liters of water to combat the dry high-altitude climate.
- 6Download an offline map like AllTrails, as the path intersects frequently with several confusing downhill mountain bike trails.
