Mt. Wire (Beacon Peak)
Historic start for this snowshoe climb. Here is the original Brigham Young monument for "This is the Place", a few minutes up the route I took. Mt. Wire behind.
Picture of the way up from the highest point on the paved road in This is the Place Park.
Started just as the sun was hitting downtown.
Nearing the top
Salt Lake Valley views about halfway up.

Ridge continues 2 miles to true summit. Emigration Canyon to the right of ridge
Looking south over Emigration Canyon to Mill, Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon Peaks
This is the lookout tower you can climb up.
I snowshoed from the summit to the road in 20 minutes.
