HUK Pro Series Review: Badass Bibs & Jacket for Foul Weather Fishing (and More)
  Bad weather doesn’t stop the work. It doesn’t stop the fish from biting either. Whether you’re stringing lines in the field after a long winter or casting into icy Montana rivers before the runoff hits, the cold doesn’t care. Neither does the rain, the wind, or the occasional frozen mix that pelts your face sideways.   That’s where the HUK Pro...
How to See Manhattanhenge (and 9 Other Urban Solar Alignments) in 2025
  On four nights each year, sky-watchers flock to the streets of Midtown Manhattan to experience one of the nations best-known urban astronomical events: Manhattanhenge.   During this phenomenon—named in honor of England’s famous Stonehenge—the sunset aligns perfectly with the city’s east-west grid, sending a blaze of sunlight down the streets and casting the city in a dramatic glow. The first Manhattanhenge...
The Benefits (and Drawbacks) of Adult Beginner-ness, With Mirna Valerio
  Everyone knows it’s important to try new things, but combating that internal voice, which begs us to stay within our comfort zone ain’t easy—even for a professional tryer of new things like Mirna Valerio. Known on the internet as The Mirnavator, Mirna knows what she’s talking about. She took up running in her late 30s, then road marathons, then trail...
‘Unforgiving Hours’ Captures Gritty History of Endurance Sports
  Is competing in endurance sports a terrible idea? Thats the (somewhat rhetorical) question posed in a new collection of stories examining the painful journeys of endurance athletes trying to achieve goals unimaginable to the casual observer.   The book offers many fascinating tales, like a 70-year-old competing in an ultramarathon, a sailing trip from Washington State to Alaska, or attempting six...
Bouncing Back From Heart Attacks, With Chef and Angler Ranga Perera
  In and around his home of Bozeman, Montana, Ranga Perera is highly sought after as a fly fishing pal and even more highly sought after as a personal chef. There’s nothing unusual about that combination, until you learn that his family came to the States in 1991 from Sri Lanka after a happy childhood was disrupted by a violent civil...

Especially if you just rolled that eye. Before you go making too many assumptions, discover all the natural wonders this flat-out amazing midwest state has to offer.

7 Questions with Rick Steves, Europe’s Most Famous Travel Guide
  For more than four decades, Steves has guided Americans through the art, food, and culture of Europe, first with his bestselling guidebooks, then as host of his long-running PBS show, Rick Steves’ Europe. But lately, the seventy-year-old travel expert has fallen for a different kind of journey: long-distance hiking. From the Tour du Mont Blanc to the Alta Vias in...

Meet the Electric Minivan Designed to Spark Joy
  Upon first sight, my younger daughter hugged the yellow Volkswagen ID. Buzz. Arms draped across its cheerful face, she said, “Can we keep it?” A reasonable question for a car that looks like it time-traveled from Woodstock to Haight-Ashbury via Pixar Studios.   The ID. Buzz is Volkswagen’s reinterpretation of its microbus—a car so entrenched in American counterculture that you would...
An Insulator for Folks on the Move: Patagonia Nano-Air Ultralight Review
  Since its original release in 2014, the Patagonia Nano-Air line has been the best breathable layer you can buy, at least in my book. I’m not a Patagonia fan boy, but after owning two of the original Nano-Air Jackets, the Nano-Air Light Pullover, and the Nano-Air pants (and testing out almost every other brand’s crack at breathable insulation layers), I...
‘Motorcyclists Injured, Killed Every Year’: Death Valley Warns Against Riding During Park’s Hottest Months

With over 3.4 million acres and over 1,000 miles of roads, its also the largest national park in the lower 48, making it a great place for motorcycle touring — but onlyat certain times of year.   On May 23, Death Valley...
Katabatic Alsek 22 Review: Cold Sleepers Rejoice — This Sleeping Quilt Works for All
  I hit about mile 200 before I swallowed the bitter pill: I might not be cut out for this sleeping quilt thing. It was half a month into my thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail, and while the days crossing the sand-filled basins brutalized with heat, the nights along the high-rising desert ridges plunged to near freezing.   I also found...
