Made It

Mount Van Cott

Hike This day was hot. It really was not super hot compared to summer, but it was the first hike of the year that was hot and sunny, if you know what I mean. It also did not help that I parked about a mile or so farther away than the link below lists. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/mount-van-cott-trail […]

Living Room

Hike Here’s the Living Room again. It is a classic. So close. So easy. Such great views of SLC. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/the-living-room-lookout-trail Drink Raspberry Wheat from Wasatch Brewery. Part of their fruity beers that I love. What can I say? I like beer and I like raspberries. https://www.wasatchbeers.com/beers.aspx

SLC Sunset

Avenues Twin Peaks

Hike This was a great hike with great views, that was really easy. I did not mean for it be a night hike, but I really enjoyed it. So peaceful watching the city at night. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/avenue-twin-peaks Drink Baba Black Lager from Uinta Brewing. I’m not a big fan of the darker stuff, but this black

Lulumahu Falls

Hike This was another cool jungle hike that started out through a bamboo forest. (Bamboo forests are kinda creepy if you have never been in one.) There were a lot of people on this hike. Still worth it. Great waterfall at the end. Drink Another of the Volcano Red Ales from Mehana Brewing Company. It

Manoa Falls

Hike Another crowded touristy hike. But another beautiful hike. I wish there were less people, but I can’t be mad at them for wanting to see and do the same things that I want to. Plus, I have met many cool people on the trails. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/hawaii/manoa-falls-trail Drink I am partial to a good red ale

Waimano Falls

Hike I loved this hike. First time I got the real jungly feel in Hawaii. It was a bit difficult to follow the trail at times. Some parts were slippery and muddy. Totally worth it though. Probably the most secluded spot I visited my entire trip. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/hawaii/waimano-falls-trail Drink Coconut Beer! From Honolulu Beerworks. I am

As Close As I Get

Makapu’u Point

Hike This hike was paved the entire way. Good, easy hike for tourists with some great ocean views and apparently great whale watching (I didn’t see any, though other people right next to me did). I added the Makapu’u Tide Pools to this hike which was a bit scrambly down the cliff. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/hawaii/makapuu-point-lighthouse-trail-kaiwi Drink It

Ensign Peak

Ensign Peak and Beyond

Hike I was supposed to meet some friends for the Ensign Peak trail (linked below), but it is kinda short for me. I arrived a couple hours earlier and meandered on the trails behind Ensign Peak. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/ensign-peak-trail-and-overlook Drink Evolution Amber Ale from good ol’ Wasatch Brewery. Nothing fancy. Just a simple, yet tasty ale. https://www.wasatchbeers.com/beers.aspx
