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

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

View of Waikiki

Diamond Head

Hike The quintessential Oahu tourist hike. It was pretty easy, but the views did not disappoint. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/hawaii/diamond-head-leahi-summit-trail Drink No alcohol. I was driving around a bunch this day trying to see more sites so I did not drink here. Plus it was really crowded with tourists. I prefer relaxing in the peaceful outdoors and collecting

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
