Ho'opi'i Falls Trail is a short easy waterfall hike that features two waterfalls. The first waterfall is split, so it looks like a double waterfall which I thought was really cool. The first waterfall is also where I was able to cliff jump. When I was here the water was deep enough to jump from a few different places from the side of the falls as well as from the top of the falls. I'd guess the highest jump was at most 20 feet.
The second waterfall was also pretty neat. Based off of other picture I found online, it looks like the second falls can be a lot bigger than it was when I was here depending on how much water is flowing. I thought this was a pretty great hike considering there was multiple waterfalls and cliff jumping within a short distance.

Distance Round Trip: 2 miles
Elevation Gain: 220 feet

Mount Elbert was my 5th US state high point! I choose to summit via the Black Cloud Trail because it generally sees less traffic and has amazing views of the mountains to the south. This was my first fourteener and the highest peak that I have hiked to, which was very exciting for me. Since it's monsoon season, I started this hike at 5am to make sure I could be off the summit well before any afternoon storms rolled in.

Which state high point should I do next? (I've already done Idaho, Utah, Hawaii, Arizona, and Colorado.)

Elevation Gain: 5,111 ft

Lone Peak was an incredible hike that ends at 11,253' elevation. There are a couple of different routes you can take to the summit. I ended up hiking the Jacob's Ladder trail. The views as you approach the cirque are amazing, both of the cliffs in front of you and the valley behind you. You get a good view of both the Great Salt Lake and Utah Lake from the top. You also get great views of other big peaks in the area. I thought the very last section of scrambling on the ridge to get to the summit was a little exposed, but I still enjoyed it. I'm glad I was able to check this one off my list. โ›ฐ๏ธ

When I started out this hike, I had intended to complete the Triple Traverse which includes summiting Broads Fork Twin Peaks, Sunrise Peak (O'Sullivan Peak), and Dromedary Peak. I ended up tiring out a little quicker than expected, so I cut the day short by just completing Twin Peaks via the Robison Variation. The route I took had a couple of sub-peaks that I topped out on along the ridge to Twin Peaks. Overall the hike was amazing with beautiful forest and wild flowers down lower, and a lot of fun scrambling up higher. The view from the top were incredible! You can see many of the major peaks in the Wasatch as well as good views of the valley below.

I took a trip to Moab, Utah for some rock crawling and took a stock Toyota 4Runner up Hell's Gate!

Hell's Gate is an obstacle on the Hell's Revenge trail, which is famous for its challenging terrain and amazing rock formations. I was amazed at the obstacles that we were able to get up and over in this vehicle. The slick-rock sandstone here is super grippy and makes it possible to drive up (and down) extremely steep trails.

Check out my channel for the full Hell's Revenge trail as well as the Poison Spider Mesa trail we did later in the day.
