Living Room Trail — Attraction in Salt Lake City

I recall the small mountain behind school. I had a few days before the quarter began in September. Looked easy thought I'd hike to the top. Lots of rock slides that look doable from the bottom, but enormously difficult once there. Seemed I passed through a temperature zone going straight to the top. Also a fly zone. In the 1970's no one went up there, it was quiet and desolate at the top. It made me appreciate what life's solidarity for me had become.
