This week, river watchers and tribal elders are quietly celebrating what was once thought improbable: Chinook salmon are making their way upstream in the Klamath River Basin for the first time in over a century. After four dams were removed, the fish have reached tributaries in the upper Klamath Basin, marking a major ecological milestone. 　　The Return of Salmon In...

　　What’s Subaru without the iconic STI hot hatch? That’s a question that performance fans have been wondering about ever since the last model finished its run 3 years ago. 　　Apparently, Subaru planners have been asking the same question — but they’ve come up with two very different answers. Two concept versions are making their debut at the Japan Mobility Show...

　　All of the trip reports I was reading told me I was foolish for bringing a down sleeping bag to Gates of the Arctic National Park. The entire park is a bog — good luck. Not to mention our intention to paddle down two rivers during the trip, packing away all of our insulation inside our boats for the ride....

　　Everest has been skied and snowboarded, but past attempts have always been on the southern slope. On Oct. 15, world-renowned skier Jim Morrison flipped the script, though. 　　Instead of going the same route as everyone before him, Morrison decided to ski the infamously dangerous north face of the mountain. In the process, he bagged a first descent and entered the...

　　With two kids under 3 and a full-time job, my training windows are short and precious. Most of my runs are 5 to 6 miles from the house, linking into a network of dirt and crushed-gravel roads that twist and roll through the foothills. Those runs tend to be fast — tempo and threshold efforts more often than not —...

　　The wind cut across the valley, and snow hissed sideways as I clipped into my Nordic skis for one last lap. The temperature had dropped quickly, bringing a dry, biting cold that made breath freeze midair. 　　When I stopped to refuel, the cold hit hard. That’s when the Patagonia R1 Thermal came out of the pack. Within seconds of pulling...
