Last Friday, President Trump signed a bill that temporarily ended the 35-day long government shutdown, reopening US national parks and other federal agencies for three weeks. During the shutdown, national parks were heavily polluted, with some parks like Joshua Tree making the news, as locals described the scene as a “free for all.” For now, national park employees are returning to work, aiming to fix the problems caused by off-roading, illegal camping, littering, overflowing bathrooms and most recently, a Joshua Tree that was impermissibly chopped down....

Kevin Hart has certainly become as synonymous with fitness as he is with comedy, movies, and television. For a man who regularly hops coast to coast, bounces from venue to venue, and juggles industry-defining projects, he still manages to stay in top physical form, and constantly pushes his limits as a human being. And now, he’s about to change the game again. On Saturday, July 29th at Rockefeller Park in Battery Park City in lower Manhattan, Hart is set to host Rally HealthFest, a free event that includes spin, Zumba classes, a fitness boot camp, and much more....

Not many adventures compare to multi-day river trips. Even fewer compare when it comes to whitewater river-tripping in a wilderness area, completely off-grid and immersed in the wild. There’s a reason people plan out these often raft-based excursions for years: You’re with a community that works to move camp daily, making miles self-contained to sustain a comfortable and simple life. The rafts move over rapids, some riffles and others that make your heart race....

Blending is something that many in the whiskey world are familiar with. Often two good things can be combined to make something truly great. Maybe this is the logic behind the recent collaboration between Glenmorangie, the famous single malt distillers, and Renovo Bicycles. The result of their collaboration, the Glenmorangie Original, certainly involves a unique mix of ingredients: the bike’s frame is made from the staves of Glenmorangie’s American White Oak barrels and crafted by Renovo’s expert craftsmen into a bike that promises the same smoothness and sophistication we’d expect from a fine dram of scotch....

We checked in with professional water women from multiple disciplines to share their worst bikini malfunction to date, and their stay-put swimsuit of choice....

If you’re looking to become a faster swimmer, your first instinct might be to crank up the intensity of your routine pool sessions. After all, swimming harder will eventually translate to swimming faster. Right? Actually, no, says Molly Balfe, a ASCA- and USAT-certified Nike masters swim coach. “Technique is the thing that makes you faster,” she tells Men’s Journal. 10 Safety Tips for Swimming in Open Water Read article The way Balfe sees it, taking the time to slow down and finesse your form will help you move through the water more hydrodynamically....

It’s deceptively difficult to find the perfect towels. Sure, so many of them look great on the rack in the store, but the moment they’re brought home and used after a shower, they begin to fall apart. They either feel rough against the skin, shed, or don’t dry you off quickly enough. Sometimes they fall apart in the wash, or worse yet, the colors run all over your other clothes. We just want towels that can absorb water and dry quickly, and if they look good on our towel rack, that’s an added bonus....

Problem is, sneakers these days are far more than just activewear shoes—they’re an expression of style. Of individuality. So gifting them is dicey. Especially considering how much they cost! If you like the idea of gifting sneakers but aren’t 100 percent positive about the specifics, chances are your gift will fall flat. That’s why we recommend sustainable, eco-friendly sneakers from Cariuma....
