Hot tubs are traditionally costly can often take up a ton of space that isn’t there to begin with. That’s where inflatable hot tubs like the SaluSpa from Bestway come in, providing you a relatively cheap alternative to a hot tub and something that only temporarily takes up space. If you’ve been thinking of grabbing one lately, Amazon has a great deal that discounts the SaluSpa down to $480 from $600, an impressive $120 discount that makes it even more enticing to own.

Probably one of the best parts of the SaluSpa is that it really doesn’t require much setup at all, as it doesn’t have a frame and can be inflated with its pump, making it perfect for those who don’t have the time to do it manually. The quick setup also means that you don’t necessarily have to make a whole day of it and can decide on a whim to set it up and take it apart if you’d like. But if you prefer to keep it up for a longer period of time, it comes with a cover for safety, and to help keep the water warm.

Speaking of keeping the water warm, the SaluSpa has a cool — no pun intended — feature that allows you to automate the spa’s temperature up to 72 hours beforehand, so you can always have it ready and going for when you come home. You can also control the temperature from inside the tub, which can go all the way up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit — that’s pretty hot, so be careful! You should also be happy to note that it has 120 bubble jets, so you’re not going to be left wanting for bubbles or soothing jets of water.

While it’s certainly great to have a traditional hot tub or easy access to some of the best hot springs around the globe, sometimes inflatable ones are just a better option, given their portability and ease of use. What’s even better is that they don’t cost an arm and a leg, and the SaluSpa’s discount on Amazon, which brings it down to just $480, makes the value proposition a whole load better. Of course, if you want something a bit bigger, we also have a list of some of the best above-ground swimming pools to buy.

onX and Toyota join forces for nationwide trail cleanup and revival project
Our national public lands are under unprecedented threat. Now you can chip in to do something about it.

Our public lands face unprecedented threats right now. Massive funding cuts have fueled staff shortages at every National Park Service, and the trails and backcountry roads of every NPS unit are suffering. Thankfully, onX joined forces with Toyota to do something about it via a nationwide trail cleanup and revival project.

Beginning next month and throughout the summer, the two brands are rallying local communities to work together at five (for now) events in California, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The goal is to address some of the biggest threats to our favorite outdoor spaces, namely the loss of access to trails due to overuse, deterioration, and under-resourced land management organizations. onX and Toyota will provide the resources, including trucks, safety gear, clean-up equipment (think chainsaws), and whatever other tools volunteers might need to clear out trail debris and trash. Volunteers will bring the brawn to get it all done.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park just announced a series of road maintenance projects to take place throughout the month of May.

This maintenance is routine, and will include activities like mowing, ditch cleaning, fallen tree and branch removal, and litter pickup. This way, the Sur will remain safe and scenic for the 2025 season. Here are the dates:
