Hike Grandeur Peak is one of the first big peaks I hiked. This was actually my third time up. It offers probably the most bang for your buck as far as hikes and views go along the Wasatch Front. But what do I know? I have only been doing this for a few months. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/grandeur-peak-east-trail-from-church-fork […]
Hike Went back up to the Desolation Trail this time and actually made it to the SLC Overlook. I remember drinking a beer on this hike, but apparently I did not take a picture of it. Cut me some slack. I was new to hiking and drinking. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/desolation-trail-to-salt-lake-overlook

Hike The “Living Room” is a SLC hike staple. Everyone who hikes in SLC has done it. It’s short. It’s close. There’s a great view of the valley. And best part? There are several couches!

Hike (I attempted to do) I tried to take a quick hike up the Desolation Trail to the SLC Overlook from the Millcreek side. I have done this hike before so I didn’t bother to look it up. Somewhere I missed a turn and meandered through a canyon instead. Oh well, I still enjoyed it.

Squatters is probably one of the most well known Utah breweries. Its brewpub located in downtown Salt Lake City has been there since before I ever tasted a beer. I remember being astonished and intrigued in my teenage years that Utah had a brewery. I have been there a few times since. One of these
Just another reason for me to go back to Hawaii; I never visited Honolulu Beerworks. But I did try their Cocoweizen Coconut Hefeweizen. When I was looking for a beer that screamed Hawaii, it did not disappoint. I would also like to try their Pia Mahi’ai Honey Citrus Saison. All in good time. Until I

I have enjoyed Ballast Point beers many times. It seems like their Mango Even Keel Session IPA is everywhere. Or maybe I just notice with my affinity for fruity beers. I know I have had some of their Sculpin flavors and basically everything from their Explorer Series looks amazing. A vanilla coffee flavored Imperial Porter
I have only been to San Francisco once. It was before this whole hiking drinking adventure began. (I was hiking and drinking and adventuring, just not sharing it with the internet.) But I have never been to Anchor Brewing. In fact, I first experienced them in Hawaii when I found their Mango Wheat Ale in
They seem relatively new, or at least new to me here in Utah. Though I have had a few of their beers and I am a fan. One of my cover photos pictures their Trail Beer Northwest Pale Ale. Not only was it delicious, but I got a kick out of drinking a Trail Beer
