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 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 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
Hike I decided to hike up Mount Olympus kinda last minute. I knew I would not go all the way to the top because of the snow and lack of time, but I made it a bit further than the trail I link below. It was a nice intro to this SLC classic hike. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/mount-olympus-stream

Hike This was just a quick hike I took on a Monday morning. No drinks. Sometimes I need a break before the week starts. There was a ton of snow so I didn’t get very far in the time I had. I’ll have to go back when I have more time and the weather is

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
