It started up the Living Room Trail then branched off on the Mount Wire Trail. Even with the warm, spring-like temperatures, I was surprised to find parts of the trail that still had snow and ice, and of course mud. The old airway beacon tower at the top of Mount Wire was a nice little reward for your hard work plus the magnificent views of the surrounding mountains ranges. The tower was climbable if you wanted another 25 ft elevation, but I decided against it. (nervous about exposed heights) Continuing the loop, I jogged down a different trail which was steep and I expected that, but the last part was very steep and too treacherous with loose gravel/shell rock fragments that was a massive slip hazard, which wasn't expected. I had to "slide" down on my hands and feet. A not-so-dignified ending to a hike that would have been great.  Even my GPS watch didn't like it and sent a distress call to my husband. I was so flustered with the last part of the trail that I didn't even think to take any pictures of it. ](https://hikearizona.com/dex2/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
Update...went back two days later to trail run on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. I stopped to take a picture of the last portion where it was very steep and had to "slide" down. |
