Write Up:
Myself and guest David Jensen enjoyed a day in the Swan Range with a dozen or so of our closest dirt bike friends. The Wire Trail #78 is very popular with motorized users. The riders are kind, though they swear like sailors. We hiked trail #78 for 5 miles, then following an intermittent game trail, climbed 600 vert feet N. along a spur to the summit block. Easy steep meadow route along the tree line. The map location of Spring Slide's summit shows to the northeast of the block. But visual and GPS confirmed it's on the west side of the summit block.
