The living room trailhead on colorow road the beginning of the trail travels through a dense scrub oak forest the bonneville shoreline trail with the junction to the living room visible in the distance on the left.
The trail was a little muddy hiking up because the snow is starting.
That s no shade on the people or the trail.
I went up here this past saturday and had a great time.
Dogs are also able to use this trail.
The living room trail topped many lists and i quickly learned that 1 most utahns are not actually spending their weekends hiking and 2 those same individuals all think the living room trail is the bee s knees.

It took us about a little over an hour to leisurely maneuver up the trail and enjoy the natural scenic landscape.

I also want to point out that this trail is dog friendly.
One of the better short hikes to a prominent viewpoint above the salt lake valley it s easy to see why this route is popular most of the year.
The living room trail was a blast.
Head up towards the mouth.
For most however the living room is sufficient and it s time to take a load off and look out over literally the entire valley.
