The back of the Aergon Air grip is rubberized providing maximum grip when going downhill.

  The Makalu Cork Lite provides the ultimate tool for comfortable and secure outings. The built-in positive angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole. With its slim tube diameter, the Makalu Cork Lite has a weight of only 254 g (9 oz) per pole and is infinitely adjustable from 110 to 130 cm using the durable and time-tested Speed Lock Plus lever system. This collapsible and durable 3-section pole is crafted from HTS 6.5 aluminum, providing exceptional durability and dependability no matter where your next adventure takes you.

How Indigenous Activists Lead the Largest Dam Removal Project in American History
  Molli Myers was pregnant with her firstborn when the salmon began to die. It was 2002, during the depths of a yearslong drought, and farmers far upstream of her community on the Yurok reservation in Northern California had pressured the George W. Bush administration to divert water from the Klamath River in Oregon to irrigate their fields. Water temperatures rose...
Rail to Trail: 7 NYC Hikes Accessible by Train
  When you think of New York City, it’s easy to imagine all the makings of a concrete jungle — towering skyscrapers in place of mountain peaks and more light pollution than starlight. But amid the hustle and bustle, the city’s parks and green spaces offer a chance to enjoy nature without leaving the five boroughs.    Hike on forested trails or...
People Are Traveling More Than Ever, Driving Residents Crazy. It’s Time to Listen to the Locals.
  Paige McClanahan, a journalist and travel writer, is much too diplomatic to phrase it this way, so allow me to be the grump: you’re the reason locals so often dislike tourists.   “Travel has become a consumerist exercise where the goal is to get our money’s worth out of a place,” McClanahan says in a phone interview from her home in...
Neck & Neck: AR World Champs Headed for Razor Finish
  Four teams have been neck and neck for hundreds of miles of the Adventure Racing World Championships, competing ferociously to be the first to cross the finish line in Cuenca, Peru.

How Biniam Girmay Made History at the 2024 Tour de France
  Heroes of the Tour de France have a few things in common. Most are white men, and they tend to hail from European nations with strong cycling cultures and robust infrastructure for developing professional racers. Over the event’s 121-year history, riders from France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy have dominated.   Perhaps that’s why fans of the sport were so enthralled by...

  Learning to ride a bike can be your first taste of freedom. Suddenly, the world beyond your front door opens up, ready to be explored on two wheels.   But for Marley Blonsky it wasn’t that simple.

The Best G-Wagen Ever Is Electric: 2025 Mercedes G 580 With EQ Technology Review
  Known officially as the G 580 with EQ Technology, the new G stuffs a battery pack and four electric motors into the internal combustion version’s existing chassis rather than starting from scratch. The electric G-Wagen also receives slight stylistic revisions, mostly in the name of aero.   But even if electrification represents the logical next step for a historically established military...
To Break a World Record on Everest, Nepali Mountaineer Purnima Shrestha First Broke with Tradition
  Born into a family of subsistence farmers in the tiny village of Arughat, Nepal, Purnima Shrestha thought that the mountains around her were out of reach. Her village is a stop on the Manaslu Circuit, en route to the eponymous 8,000-meter peak, but Shrestha’s family didn’t even have running water. As a woman, she was expected to marry young, raise...
Here’s What It’s Like to Go Camping with Shailene Woodley
  The camp chairs are set up. A cracked clipboard rests under my arm. I’m stuffed into my mom jeans. It’s showtime.   June gloom blankets Encinal Canyon in a lush mist. I could be in Narnia instead of Malibu, but I barely notice. My body stands in front of a marooned Airstream, waiting. But my mind is back home, wondering if...
Wahoo ELEMNT Ace Review: Air Pressure Sensor Is Like a Wind Tunnel on Your Bike Computer
  To many cyclists, especially road racers and triathletes, the ability to measure aerodynamic drag is the holy grail of data. The drag created by the body is one of the largest determinants of performance in these sports. And Wahoo brings relative aerodynamic drag measurements to the handlebar.   Wahoos air pressure sensor is a category first and is, by far, the...
Many in This Navajo Community Didn’t Have Electricity. An Unlikely Foursome Collaborated to Make a Difference.
  For decades, American alpinist Kitty Calhoun made a name topping out on some of the world’s highest peaks, including the West Pillar of 27,766-foot Makalu in the Himalayas. But what stayed with her more than any summit view were the alarming effects of climate change.   At such elevations, she often noticed melting ice, a hindrance to her ascents. But in...
