This country’s unmatched and unlimited industrial might helped define the 20th century. But that was then, and this is now. Crystal Mill: Marble, Colorado When you first see the Crystal Mill—a former powerhouse cantilevered over a rushing river at an altitude of more than 10,000 feet—the first word that you may think of is Jenga. After all, with rough-hewn beams crisscrossing their way up to the mill’s main rooms, the whole structure seemingly has a wobbly future. But despite appearances, the mill—which dates to the 1890s—has proved remarkably sturdy even though it has been out of service for more than a century. Part of that durability comes from the outcropping of rocks on which the mill is built, stone that also forms the bed of the Crystal River, giving the setting an even more striking appearance, as water constantly cascades past. That steady flow was key to the mill’s existence, spinning a waterwheel that powered an air compressor for the Sheep Mountain Tunnel, a slip of silv...

There will be 272 regular season NFL games in 2022, the second year of a scheduling format that boasts 17 games per team. That’s a lot of football , but some of these contests will be better than others. Your preferred sort of NFL game is a personal decision. Maybe you like watching the Jacksonville Jaguars play the Detroit Lions in a cavernous Ford Field on the first Sunday in December. Or you might enjoy the Washington Commanders playing the New York Giants two times in three weeks in the last month of the season.

Here are seven NFL games that should appeal to a wide football audience, either because they’re heavyweight bouts or they will showcase some other good storyline. These might not all be Game of the Year contenders, but they look juicy on paper as the league revs up for 2022. TV...

Like almost any small commercial marina, the one in Kitamat in British Columbia, Canada , offers a vista of bobbing prawn boats, orphaned trailers and jumbles of rusting mystery equipment. Sprawled on the opposite shore is a multinational-owned aluminum smelting plant. As my conveyance and home for the next week, the touring tug Swell , chugs away from the dock under a chilly rain, I assume more such sights lie ahead. But when the smokestacks dwindle in our wake, a gaze off the bow reveals miles of deep, choppy channel flanked by steep forests and exposed peaks blanketed in melting snow that produces waterfalls gushing through the evergreens down to the craggy shoreline. From high perches, eagles pause their hunting to sternly eye our progress. This swift, full dose of coastal British Columbia will define a journey intended to transport us via increasingly remote waterways north of Vancouver through the Great Bear Rainforest on the way to isolated Kitlope Lake, if weather and water...

The same handful of NFL quarterbacks have dominated the league for the past two decades. They are mostly retired now—Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Ben Roethlisberger among the most notable examples—and a fresh generation of signal-callers has risen to power . That said, a few old guys are still slinging it. Aaron Rodgers never exactly faded , but he has become better than ever in his mid-to-late 30s and has pulled off two MVP wins in a row. Tom Brady is 45 and increasingly introspective about being an old man, but he’s still throwing darts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite those outliers, it’s a young man’s position for the most part. Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson are the last two non-Rodgers MVP winners. Justin Herbert and Josh Allen are bona-fide stars. Kyler Murray has cemented himself as one of the better QBs in the league, even though his contract extension with the Arizona Cardinals became a bizarre circus . And a handful of other quarterbacks have a chance to make th...

Whether you’re horizontal on the white sand beaches of Isla Holbox or the Jersey Shore, there’s one essential you’d be remiss to forget: great beach towels. After all, getting the most out of a beach day is all about perfecting and enjoying the little details: the smell of salt in the air, an ice cold beer on your lips, a frustration-free beach towel underneath you. Bungling that last one can mean bringing a beach towel that’s too small to fit on, lets sand creep over the edges, or  takes all day to dry out. The best beach towels are oversized to keep your entire body off the sand, super absorbent and quick to dry, and are comfy to lie on, whether that’s a plush cotton towel or a thinner Turkish towel. Whatever your preference, we’ve got the beach towels for you. Only sunny days ahead. The 10 Best Beaches to Visit This Year Read article Courtesy Image 1.
