REI Co-op is expanding its adventure travel offerings with new trips and a land purchase near the Grand Canyon to build one of its signature camps. The brand says both developments are to meet the growing demands for small group adventure travel in popular North American destinations, like U.S. national parks in the Northwest and Southwest. New tour destinations include Maine’s 100-Mile Wilderness and Tennessee’s Cumberland Plateau.
Today we’re featuring a rechargeable headlamp, Teva’s anniversary and new cast iron cookware. This is Today in Gear.
