View From The Living Room
On Monday, for a view of the Salt Lake Valley, we hiked to The Living Room. We relaxed in sandstone chairs with armrests. There were even coffee tables we parked our feet on.
The hike takes about two hours (it took us longer). It is considered easy (it isn’t). Trail length is 2.3 miles (seemed like 5 miles).
Here are some photographs of our hike. Click on the images to enlarge.

I really like the rock chairs up there.
Wow, Paul! Those are great shots. Wouldn’t want to negotiate the trail in the dark without a flashlight.
That is such a great view!! I am jealous
What a beautiful family. You’re right. That hike doesn’t look easy. I think most of the people in my family would be laying on the side of the hill trying to catch their breaths. Some of them wouldn’t even leave the living room for fear of too much exertion. haha. I’m glad you all made it!
It wasn’t too bad of a hike. Having the mountains close by is a real bonus for there are lots of trails and great views when you get to the top.
Wonderful photos, It has been a lovely experience watching your photos. Is’t it a good experience to spend time like that.
