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 […]

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

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
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
Hike It’s like going to the Living Room, but you swing a right up the canyon and go up for another mile. Easy “peak” hike with some good views. Nifty tower on top you can climb. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/big-beacon-mount-wire-trail Drink Yard Sale Winter Lager from another Utah brewery, Uinta Brewing. I really like this beer during the
