Every great hike has its great moment. When you leave the street grid of Telluride, Colorado, USA and head up the Sneffels Highline Trail, you're on your way to a breathtaking moment. This is one of the benchmark hikes I do every few years. To see if I still can.

When the temperature outside rises, put one of these inside your mouth and lower your body temperature to complete comfort in one minute flat. A convenient, frozen, hand-held soup and salad on a stick. Great for parties.

You could watch this for a while. It's a little like bird-watching, only better. You don't need binoculars. You don't feel like a stalker. If you don't have one of your own, now's the time to take a walk and find one. Or Press Play. Borrow mine.

There's something about fresh pineapple that a blender turns into a creamy, frothy puree. A puree that bubbles into a big, foamy head when you squirt carbonated water into your glass. A big head on a very smart soft drink. Much smarter than a cola that makes you stupid.

Slightly sweet. Kinda tart. Very little sugar. Great for breakfast. Great for dessert. Lime makes it vibrant. Distinct orange flavor sweetens it. Olive oil keeps it moist and light. Ten minutes to prepare. You really want to try this.

The hike's free. An entire mountain. Yours for the taking. Walks like this are habit-forming. Making exercise a habit gives you the long-term benefit of great health. Have a blast, burn 2,000 calories along the Way and eat great stuff back in town.

$7 per person for an incredibly easy and completely satisfying meal. Not light, but not at all heavy. Just fresh fish poached in heirloom bean soup served on whole-grain polenta. A complete protein bomb. You want more of this in your diet.
