On a finite connected unweighted graph, the graph path between x and y in a uniform spanning tree has the law of loop-erased random walk from x to y. Root Wilson's algorithm at y and process x first: the first attached graph path is exactly that loop erasure, and later attachments cannot change it. Changing the root to x proves reversibility of loop-erased random walk, even though chronological loop erasure does not commute with reversing each individual random-walk trajectory.
