Hike This hike was amazing. Just the right mix of everything. Good exercise without being too rough. Beautiful nature right in our backyard. Highly recommend. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/lake-blanche-trail Drink Another Apricot Hefeweizen from Wasatch Brewery. I would like to drink new and exciting things for each of these posts, but in the meantime I will drink what […]
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 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 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 This hike was amazing. It had a bit of everything. I loved the 360 views from the top. Fair warning though; Antelope Island can be crappy with bugs and smell during fairer weather. https://www.alltrails.com/explore/trail/us/utah/frary-peak-trail–2 Drink Wasatch Brewery’s Blueberry Hef. One of my favorite beers. The blueberry mellows out an already easy drinking hef. I
Wasatch Brewery is home to my favorite beer, their Apricot Hefeweizen. I have had most of their beers. There beers are everywhere in Utah. Which is great because they make good beer. I have been to their Sugarhouse Brewpub a couple times and the West Side Tavern is one of my favorite places to get
