OK Computer, Let’s Ride • On the highway, the Rivian R2 wants to drive for you. In the mountains, it begs you to take the wheel.

Run Now, Wine Later • If race prep is a slog, head to the (Sonoma) hills for vineyard views and a proper pour.

The Hiker’s Runway • Hiking and backpacking apparel looks more stylish than ever. Here’s why.

Champagne Rides, Tallboy Budget • Value gear that never feels like the cheap seats.

Send It, Don’t Spend It • Head-to-toe trail gear, ready for anything except buyer’s remorse.

TO THE RIDER WHO ACTUALLY PACKED FOR THIS • My checklist: helmet, gloves, vibes. His: everything else.

Designing Around the Sacred • From Hawai‘i to the Himalayas, a look at how other sacred sites have balanced access with reverence.

Adventure Unscripted • Nobody handed these five a map. A climber-chemist, a highliner, a chef, a photographer, and a human flight pro—all making it up as they go, and showing everyone else how it’s done.

CONSIDER THE HUNTER • I thought my dad and I didn’t agree on anything anymore. Then, I asked him to take me hunting.

FARTHER UP THE ROAD • Four heritage adventure motorcycles for wherever the pavement ends

FABRIC of FAMILY • WE THINK OF FLANNEL AS THE STUFF OF LUMBERJACKS AND THE RUGGED OUTDOORS. BUT FOR ONE WRITER, THE FABRIC TRACES STRAIGHT BACK TO A POSTWAR FACTORY IN SEOUL—AND THE GRANDMOTHER WHO RAN IT.

SASHA DIGIULIAN • For the past 20 years, Sasha DiGiulian has won climbing world championships, sent big walls from Madagascar to Spain, and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible for women’s climbing—all by age 33. But while DiGiulian has settled into a rhythm in Boulder, Colorado, she hasn’t slowed down one bit. In the past five years alone, she’s launched a nutrition bar company, published a memoir, recovered from five hip surgeries, completed an Ironman 70.3, starred in an HBO documentary, and returned to Yosemite to make the first female ascent of El Capitan’s longest free route, The Direct Line (5.13d). Her secret? Operating in the chaos, not resisting it.

Waterproof Wisdom • Before the ski jackets, tents, and boots, there was a patch of Gore-Tex fabric and a coffee cup.
