Hike

The time has come. I finally bagged Mount Olympus. I know there are people that run up and down it all day, but it was a big feat for me. This is one of the big peaks overlooking Salt Lake City. And it is no joke. 4100′ elevation gain destroyed my legs.

Drink

Wasatch Brewery’s Blueberry Hefeweizen this time. I think it is a bit more mellow than their other fruit flavored beers. Still tasty.

Goal
There is my goal…
Yellow Flowers
Flowers were starting to bloom. Here are some yellow flowers.
Pink Flowers
And some pink flowers.
Scramble to the Peak
Here is the beginning of the scramble to the peak.
SLC and Mountains
View from the peak. You can see downtown SLC on the left and the foothills on the right.
Twin Peaks
Lots of people up top. I probably should have tried to get some better pictures, but oh well. There is Twin Peaks in the back.
Earned It
Earned it this time. This was the most difficult hike I have done so far.
Mmm
