8 Great-Looking (and Smooth-Riding) Women’s Running Shoes for Travel
  Runners who travel know a packing trick: Instead of cramming our bulky running shoes in our luggage, we wear them. We wear them on planes, trains, and car rides. We wear them to tour cities, countrysides, museums, galleries, and trails. While others suffer from blisters and fatigue in their sandals, loafers, or even stylish hiking boots, we think to ourselves,...
Video: What Footwear Should You Wear at Mount Everest Base Camp?
  Last month we sent reporter Ben Ayers to Mount Everest Base Camp.

In this video, Ben discusses the footwear that got him through the 11-day trek from Lukla to Base Camp, and also...
Lightning Strikes 14er Hikers — While on the Phone With Colorado SAR

The rescue began Thursday evening, June 12, when Colorados Alpine Rescue Team was...

Gotta Have ‘Faith’: The Gear Nike Built to Take Down Women’s Sub-4-Minute Mile
  About a year removed from the 2024 Olympics, elite running will return to Paris on June 26 in the form of Breaking 4, Kenyan runner Faith Kipyegons attempt to set the worlds first womens sub-4-minute mile.

Two Hikers Were Struck by Lightning on This Popular Colorado Fourteener. They Survived.
  Search teams using a helicopter hoisted two hikers off the summit of a Colorado fourteener after a lightning strike badly injured one of them on Thursday June 12.

The Most Remote Places to Stay on Earth That Are Worth the Trek
  Profound silence on the tundra in sub-Arctic Canada, the gunshot of a calving glacier heard from a tent in Greenlands backcountry, the reflection of snow-crowned peaks in a mirrored lagoon in the high plateau of Bolivia. Some of my most awe-inspiring travel experiences have been in the vast wilderness, where I felt humbled by the scale of time and space...
Hidden Treasure Hikes: Where to Search for Lost Loot Across America
  Finding a cache of gold out in the woods is every hikers dream —and sometimes, it comes true. In February 2025, two tourists were hiking on a hill in the Czech Republic when they stumbled upon a life-changing find. They noticed a tin can and a metal case tucked within an old manmade wall.   Upon pulling them out and opening...

  The sun dipped below the horizon, and I was set to sleep on top of Wetterhorn Peak at 14,021 feet. Deep in the mountains of Colorado, I was putting my sleeping bag system to a real stress test: Would I be able to stay warm enough at the equivalent elevation of Camp 3 on Denali? All signs were pointing to...
Fast and Versatile, On or Off Trail: Nike Terra Kiger 10 Review
  Parked at the trailhead, I’m standing outside my truck, stuffing gas station food and storm layers into my running vest. The sun is baking the high desert valley floor, and the temperature is already above 80 degrees — it’s 8:00 a.m. I arrived at the trailhead a few hours later than I intended. As the king of late starts, this...
