There are two kinds of family road trips. The “Are we there yet?” kind, with too many car hours and too little action (sorry kids), and the “Do we have to go home?” kind (thank you, parents). To find the best of the latter, we sent adventurer Jacob Moon, with his wife and daughter, to Montana and the family discovered...

　　UTV manufacturers love to shout “all-new” the same way gas station sushi shouts “fresh.” Most of the time, it’s a reach. A new hood shape and a tweaked badge do not equal a redesign. 　　Can-Am didn’t play that game. The 2026 Defender lineup actually changed. This isn’t lipstick on a bumper.

As a gear reviewer, I’ve spent a lot of time dialing in the items that help keep...

　　The original version of this story was published on iRunFar. 　　Before dawn on Tuesday, August 19, 2025, Tara Dower reached the southern terminus of the 272-mile Long Trail at the Vermont–Massachusetts border.

Cindell Dale has guided “the...
