Zion may be one of America’s smaller national parks, but it always ranks as one of the most popular. Suffice to say, it’s a park with a lot of layers. That starts with its iconic rock formations, geologic strata that consists mostly of Mesozoic-aged sedimentation dating back 150 million years. The park’s more recent history extends to its founding as Utah’s first national park in 1909. Having just marked the 100-year anniversary on November 19, 2019, those who love Zion are looking toward the next century to ensure it remains in pristine condition — functioning well to keep the small park open to all, amid added crowd pressure....
Summer is a lot of things. It’s endless beach days and evening bonfires. It’s family vacations and weekend camping trips. It’s backyard barbeques and homemade lemonade.

Here, we’ve rounded up five exercises that will keep you fit and cool, all in one go. Aqua Jogging...
For nine days this June, three of America’s most accomplished climbers set up shop on the vast Ruth Glacier in the Alaska Range with the aim to climb the Wine Bottle route up the 5,000-foot-tall East Face of Mt. Dickey. Climbed just once before, in 1988, by two Austrians in an epic six-day siege, the American trio were contemplating racing up the route in a single push of about 36 hours and, if conditions were good, doing the whole thing “free” — that is with rope and gear used only for protection....
With the explosive second trailer for Season 7 of Game of Thrones being released yesterday, we’re not sure the Internet is ready for the behind-the-scenes footage coming out of HBO Spain on Thursday. In the newly released video, passersby are lured into a slightly sketchy (albeit enchanted-looking) hut where they’re greeted by Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) saying, “Do you want to see something you’ve never seen before? Promise you won’t tell anyone....
Life is short. When you look back upon a year, most of the days blend together into a haze of blaring alarm clocks, long work days, and short weekends. And if you’re being honest with yourself, much of the year ends up being forgotten. But you owe it to yourself to do something that you’ll remember longer than just next week, or next month, or even next year. Make 2019 the year you treat yourself to an adventure that you’ll remember for the rest of your life....

What do paleo devotees and grandmas have in common? Their love of bone broth. Athletes sip it on the promise that it will fix creaky joints and damaged muscle with an infusion of collagen. And broth shops have popped up across the country. But before you tuck into a cup of the stuff, know that the science is murky. Do Men Need Collagen? Everything You Need to Know About the Supplement...
There are 15 of us bumping slowly uphill at Colorado’s Aspen Highlands Resort, shoulder to shoulder in the open-air passenger trailer of a Pisten Bully snowcat, in pursuit of a four-course peak-top dinner at Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro. Black, acrid smoke intermittently bellows from the exhaust stack kitty-corner from where pro snowboarder Mark Carter and I are sitting, causing most of our companions to tuck their noses down into zipped-up jackets or pull neck gaiters to their eyes....
Mark Wahlberg’s always had a dominant physique, but he’s walking around with straight-up tree trunks for arms and one hell of a six-pack, as evidenced by Instagram. Wahlberg’s been clean-bulking and shredding fat. He’s gotten down to 6.9% body fat—impressive for any guy, let alone one over 45—but Wahlberg’s used to transforming his physique. He admits he usually puts on muscle, then leans out. This time he did the opposite: He got ripped, and is now building up solid muscle....
Shin splints don’t always start bad. But you don’t treat them fast, shin splints quickly become one of the worst running-related injuries that could ever hinder your workout. If you’ve ever felt pain around your shin bone—either on the front of your leg or in the back—then you’ve likely experienced the tendon and muscle pain that plague runners everywhere. You also know that burning lower-leg pain can cripple your workouts and keep you from racing....
Actually, yes. We were surprised to learn green, yellow, orange, and red peppers differ. It all comes down to ripeness, says Columbus, OH, dietitian Lindsay Livingston, of the Lean Green Bean healthy-living blog. “Green peppers are simply peppers picked before they’re fully ripe,” Livingston says. “If you waited, they’d turn yellow, then orange, then red.” That’s key, because when peppers are picked early, they’re less sweet (sweetness develops as they ripen) and contain fewer nutrients—in this case, vitamins A, C, and B6....
As summer is coming to a close, the opportunity for sunny, warm out-of-town adventures is dwindling by the day. Whether you are interested in overnight trekking in the backcountry, floating rivers between campouts, or simply on the search for epic concrete skateparks to fill your days … Oregon offers opportunities to do it all. However, planning a short, tail-end-of-summer trip to the beautiful Pacific Northwest might seem a bit overwhelming. The toughest part tends to be deciding where to start....

Traditionally, the classic Italian deli sandwich is known for packing a lot of fat and a lot of calories. It’s also known for having a ton of fillers, artificial ingredients, and nitrites (used to preserve deli meat). To make this a healthier version, keep deli meats under strict portion control (as indicated by the portions below) and choose deli meats that are free of artificial ingredients, fillers, and nitrites (like Applegate)....

That came to a crashing halt when he broke his neck on Oct. 14 and was told he would be paralyzed for the rest of his life, possibly never walking again. Cranmer would not accept that as his fate, and he has fought the odds since day one....
