This afternoon we hiked up Big Beacon. We started with 14 hikers and 9 + 2 dogs made it to the top! Weather was pleasant if not too warm at the start of the ascent. After reaching the top of Georges Hollow and heading east, the views of Salt Lake City, the valley and the Wasatch to the south are outstanding. On top of Big Beacon, the lookout tower has a barbed-wire fence around it but an unlocked gate. The boys (photo top left) and some of the grown-ups overcame any acrophobia and climbed up the tower. I told one of the boys that his Dad and sister at the Bees game could hear him if he shouted out between the microwave reflectors ;-) Rest of photos are here.
