  1. These Are The Best Bike Paths in National Parks

    Photo: Grant Ordelheide Most national parks don’t allow bikes on dirt trails, whether or not they’re e-bikes, but that doesn’t mean biking is off limits. Many national parks have designated multi-use paths, some paved and some gravel, that offer a scenic way to explore without having to go deep into the backcountry or stick to the roads. These car-free paths provide a safe and fun way for everyone to get out on two wheels, whether you’re looking for some serious miles at Grand Teton […]

  2. As #EastAfrica’s oceans change, coastal women build new livelihoods

    By ALLAN OLINGO, July 5, 2026 at 10:36 pm

    MALINDI, #Kenya (AP) — "The unfinished restaurant is still little more than concrete walls and wooden beams. As her daughter sweeps away the last piles of sand, 54-year-old Nuru Mohammed directs women hanging fishing nets to serve as decor. In a few days, the beachside restaurant on Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast will open, offering another way to earn a living.

    " 'For us women, this is hope,' says Mohammed, who, for most of her life, was one of the few fisherwomen in Malindi, a town northeast of the port city of #Mombasa. 'It will help support many families that have depended on the ocean for decades.'

    "Across East Africa’s coast, fisherfolk are increasingly turning to tourism, #EcosystemRestoration and other conservation-based businesses, reinventing their relationship with the sea as #ClimateChange, #overfishing and declining ocean health threaten their livelihoods.

    "In Kenya, women are turning restored #MangroveForests into sources of income through #beekeeping and #ecotourism. In #Tanzania’s #Zanzibar archipelago, fishing communities are protecting #CoralReefs through locally managed closures. In #Mozambique, #SeaGrassRestoration is creating jobs while reviving marine habitats. Together, these efforts are redefining resilience, not as leaving the ocean behind, but as restoring it while building enduring livelihoods.

    " 'Communities that depend on the ocean are also its best stewards,' said Andreane Martel, project director for a conservation program dubbed #ReSea. 'When local people, especially women, lead conservation, they protect #biodiversity while creating more resilient and inclusive livelihoods.' "

  4. "Local leaders from #Monterey County met to discuss economic & #environmental impacts posed by [POTUS 47] administration’s leasing proposal for #OffshoreOilDrilling. The proposal includes 34 lease sales across 21 areas, with six off #California coast. Two of these are for #CentralCoast, and could begin as early as 2027.

    "'As we've seen from this administration, a lot of their talk is aspirational to a certain extent, but also very real & #dangerous if they go forward with it.'—Congressional Rep Jimmy Panetta

    “Meeting was in response to 2nd public comment period opened by Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) to solicit industry-focused input, specifically for #SouthernCalifornia & #CentralCalifornia. Open to all, it seeks input from tech experts & organizations that have industry knowledge about #energy, #fishing, #hospitality & #tourism, #PublicHealth & more.

    “…closes Feb. 26."

  5. A friend and I are thinking about a trip to Portugal sometime this year. Recommendations? We like day hikes, outdoors, nature. Good food and wine too. I know this is a very broad request, but... recommendations?
