Hike I have done part of this hike before in the winter, but I did not go up very far (see here). I want to do the full trail that is about twice as long and tall. I was not planning on hiking this one today, but my other plans fell through so I just […]

Hike This was a mashup of two hikes. I was originally planning on doing just the Secret Lake and Sugarloaf Mountain loop (first link), but it cost $6 to park up there so I started at the bottom of the Albion Basin (second link). I ain’t afraid of an extra few miles, especially through a

Hike Just one picture of the short little hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Kiddos love this hike. It is short and easy with a nifty waterfall at the end. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/donut-falls-trail Drink No beer. I went with children and it was morning. I like beer. I’m not an alcoholic. Sheesh.
This hike was a last minute idea after a long night. I was not well prepared. Everything turned out okay, but my phone battery was basically dead so I didn’t take a ton of pictures. What you see is what you get. Hike The hike up to Dog Lake was easy and pretty. I came

Every year some friends and I take a trip to Alpine, Wyoming. Here are a few pictures. There were a lot more pictures, but they were just my friends and I hanging out or acting stupid. Not enough hiking, probably enough drinking. Hike Periodic Springs (we called it Intermittent) is the one hike we went

I would like to drink new and exciting things for each of these posts, but in the meantime I will drink what

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. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/mount-olympus-trail Drink
Hike This hike kicked my butt. I have been up to Grandeur Peak via the Church Fork route. This way, though shorter, was soooo much steeper. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/grandeur-peak-trail-west-face Drink More Apricot Hefeweizen from Wasatch Brewery. Good stuff, especially after beating myself up. https://www.wasatchbeers.com/beers.aspx

Hike Started off as a nice hike on a warm day and ended with my trudging through snow and over icy rocks. Good times. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/black-mountain-via-valley-view-twin-peaks-and-little-black-mountain-trail Drink Just finishing a Dead Horse Amber Ale from the Moab Brewery I had leftover from my Arches trip. It was still delicious, though it looks a bit out of
