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.

I’m not a big fan of the darker stuff, but this black

Hike Fun, short, steep hike. Kinda a hidden gem and real close to the city. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/jacks-mountain Drink I am in love with this beer. Gose is my new favorite, and this gose is amazeballs. http://www.properbrewingco.com/our-beers/
Hike I was supposed to meet some friends for the Ensign Peak trail (linked below), but it is kinda short for me. I arrived a couple hours earlier and meandered on the trails behind Ensign Peak. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/ensign-peak-trail-and-overlook Drink Evolution Amber Ale from good ol’ Wasatch Brewery. Nothing fancy. Just a simple, yet tasty ale. https://www.wasatchbeers.com/beers.aspx

Hike I took the trail linked below to the bridge. It is really just the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. From there I followed some random sign pointing up the mountain that read “Trail of the Eagle.” https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/bear-canyon-bridge-via-bonneville-shoreline-trail Drink Not just any old Blue Moon, but a Pacific Apricot Blue Moon. For most of these hikes I

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
