MOUNT WIRE LOOP

LIVING ROOM TRAIL

A beautiful May day, climbing to the summit. It's great seeing all the God's wildflowers along the trail. Some hiked to the saddle, while others hike to the top.

MOUNT WIRE ~ BIG BEACON

DESCRIPTION: A great trail to hike in Spring. It's dry and snow free! From the Bonneville Shoreline, there are several ways to reach the summit. The best trail is going up on the south side of George's Hollow. This trail forks with the Living Room trail, if you want to take a break. At the summit you'll find a red observation tower and two structures that remind you of movie screens. 

MOUNT WIRE

The loop hike down begins at the movie screens and follows the ridge line almost to the bottom. This section is steep, with loose rocks on the trail, and is similar to the Mount Olympus trail. Before climbing the last hill, you take a trail down to main trail in George's Hollow.
