Stretching 3,000 km from Cape Reinga, at the top of the North Island, to Bluff, at the bottom of the South Island, the TA is defined by its challenging terrain, unpredictable weather and navigational obstacles, and just may be the toughest of the world’s major...

　　Words Photos by William Woodward 　　 　　Volcano skiing is a well-honored pastime in Washington. While our most famous volcanoes live in plain sight, like Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak often remains hidden but for a few high points on public roads. The fifth volcano highest in the state, Glacier is second only to Mt. Rainier in climbing prominence,...

　　One of the best parts of mountain running is when you get to walk. I’m not calling mountain running a gentle stroll, but generally, you’re not full-on, maxed-out sprinting hour after hour up an enormous rock pile. The running part is great, but the main draw is that rock pile and the ones around it. Just being, and moving, in...

He was joined by alpinists Mark Richey, 61; expedition leader Graham Zimmerman, 33; and Chris Wright, 36. In an endeavor that was uncertain right to the last moment,...

　　I’ve joined friends and photographers, Dan and Janine Patitucci for a ten-day Himalayan adventure trek across the Gangotri Glacier organized by Ruck Sack Tours. This glacier is one of the main sources of the Ganges River, and one of the largest in the Himalaya. However, it is rapidly receding. We scramble over rock and rubble where ice once stretched to...

　　Words and Photos by Laura Lancaster 　　 　　“I knew you were coming.” 　　I had been dreading this stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail that ran between Manzanita and Tillamook since we started weekend thru-hiking (or section-hiking) it in chunks back in 2017. Heading south from Tillamook, the OCT follows Highway 101—the main artery for the Oregon Coast—for over 10 miles...

　　In August of 2019, my friend Kirk and I fulfilled a childhood dream, paddling the Hudson River from source to sea. Growing up, my friends and I would explore my small hometown and go as far as we could get before making it home for dinner. We would go paddling, swimming, cliff jumping, hiking and occasionally jump trains when they...

　　Packrafting opened up a world of adventure for me. Being from the desert, the idea of hauling a raft deep into the wilderness was fairly novel. But when photographer Jacob Moon and his wife Natasha invited me to go packrafting on the South Fork of the Flathead, one of the world’s premier rivers, I couldn’t say no. 　　 　　Photo by...

Only 10 hours to go till I arrive in the Yukon Territory. 　　Despite being a full-time Alaskan I always look forward to my time in the Yukon— “North of 60” as many Yukoners call it—referring...

　　It never fails to snow a solid 8 inches the night before my first day of turkey hunting in Colorado. As usual, 2025 delivered a heavy blanket of snow to my turkey camp, not the conditions Id expected for testing the uninsulated, lightweight Crispi Lapponia III hunting boot. 　　But there I was, awake in the dark at the tail end...

　　Water flowed over the sand and splashed across the toes of the Salmon X Ultra 5 Mid hiking boots. My legs pumped over the soft, wet sand in the morning light. 　　Thousand-foot-high dunes shimmered below the vastly higher mountains of the Sangre de Cristo range. Snowmelt ran across the sand, a short-lived river that behaves much like a landlocked beach....

　　When you’re covering serious miles in unpredictable terrain, your boots aren’t just footwear; they’re gear. And like any gear, they must perform, hold up over time, and keep you comfortable. 　　I wore the KUIU HD Mud Boots through an entire hunting season in Montana, putting them to the test across creeks, rocky ridgelines, deep snow, and muddy fields. After more...

　　The Boston Marathon isn’t a record-chasing course. It’s tactical, uneven, and often at the mercy of New England spring weather. Here, the win matters more than the clock. So, while no one expected Kelvin Kiptum’s 2:00:35 world record or Ruth Chepngetich’s 2:09:56 mark to fall, few would’ve guessed that a lesser-known brand in pro road racing — Under Armour —...

　　Ammo prices keep climbing. Thankfully, a few manufacturers are still making reasonably priced rounds for everyday hunters chasing everyday game. The Harvest Collection is one of them. 　　Barnes and Sierra teamed up to create a new line of ammo aimed squarely at whitetail hunters called the Harvest Collection. While the branding sounds like something you might find in the pumpkin...

　　Witnesses report a Montana Army National Guard UH-60L Blackhawk helicopter landed without prior notice on private property in the Crazy Mountains near Melville, Mont., on May 4, 2025. The crew reportedly collected elk antlers during the unauthorized landing, which triggered investigations by state wildlife officials and the National Guard, according to The Livingston Enterprise and other local news outlets. 　　Neighboring...

　　I felt light on my feet as I ascended the Rainbow Trail toward Methodist Mountain. On my left, spectacular views of Mount Ouray and Pahlone Peak caught my eye whenever I stopped. But as I hiked, I only focused on what was beneath my feet: rocks, branches, loose granite gravel, and lodgepole roots. I found myself jogging the flats and...
