  Ultralight, four-season tent for winter adventures near treeline

  Built to be the ultimate shelter for backcountry skiers, splitboarders and snowshoers, the MSR Access 2 tent is lighter than a mountaineering tent, but warmer than a 3-season backpacking tent. Limited mesh on the tent body offers greater warmth on frigid nights, while the light and packable design saves you precious energy on the climb and descent. The interior is spacious for changing clothes, and the strong frame resists overnight snow loading. Quick to set up, the tent offers the protection needed for camping in less severe conditions, such as those near treeline—making it perfect for accessing the bowls, ridges and powder fields above.

LifeStraw Launches Slimmest Water Filtration Yet: ‘Sip’ Straw First Look
  Its rather amazing what modern water filtration and purification can do. Ive seen —and tried! — the hallmark demonstration of drinking water directly from tepid, brackish pond water with no ill effects. And still, I cant quite believe it.   But beyond the novelty, companies like LifeStraw, MSR, and Sawyer have had massive public health impacts where clean water is a...
The 10 Best Summit Hikes in Colorado
  Trying to narrow down a list of the best summit hikes in Colorado makes my palms sweat. It’s almost harder than hiking the peaks themselves. Ive been exploring Colorados mountains for over 25 years now and have written six mountain hiking guidebooks, and I still have difficulty picking out my favorites. There are just that many good mountains.   My favorite...
Put These Beautiful National Monuments on Your Must-See List
  What is a national monument, anyway? That’s what I kept asking myself as I rode a mountain bike down a rocky trail on sedimentary layers in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. I was rapidly approaching a lower point on the northern rim of the canyon, which is more than a mile deep at some sections. I stopped 2,000 feet above...
10 Last-Minute Ways to Spoil Yoga Moms on Mother’s Day
  As a new mom, I found my first Mother’s Day to be a letdown.   I had naively thought that it would be a day where all my anxieties and responsibilities would fall away. But that isn’t your reality when you have a screaming baby who wants to be held only by you. Despite my family’s earnest efforts, each gift felt...

California’s Lost Coast Trail Permits Just Tripled in Price
  Starting this fall, backpackers will have to pay a per-visitor fee to overnight along California’s famous Lost Coast Trail. For many hikers, this will be triple the current cost. The update is part of a new Bureau of Land Management (BLM) plan to address crowding and protect high-traffic trails from environmental impacts.   The Lost Coast Trail traces 53 miles of...
I Thought Motorcycles Didn’t Belong In the Wilderness. I Was Wrong.
  I was gunning it toward Split Mountain in the Sierra Nevada and my Subaru was begging for mercy. The “road” to the trailhead was like the surface of the moon, rife with ditches, potholes, and boulders techy enough to have a V-grade. The sunglasses hanging from a strap on my rearview mirror swung wildly, smacking me in the face as...

  If you’re an automotive enthusiast, you probably love supercars and other rare or unique models. But few of us can afford to actually buy (and run) such ultra-exclusive über-rides.

Purify, Cook, Drink: Grayl ‘Geopress Ti’ Do-All Camp Bottle Review
  Water purification has never looked so cool. Though Ive had mixed feelings about the overall usefulness of the Grayl Geopress Ti, my final assessment always comes back to the same point: Its fun as hell to use. Theres an undeniable joy from hefting this sleek water bottle into a stream and drinking the purified product through solid titanium.   However, making...
