Whether you’re having a cookout with some friends or family, swimming in a pool, playing some backyard games, enjoying a movie night, or just doing some yardwork outside, it’s always good to have your favorite tunes going. The problem is that most speakers, at least of suitable quality, are not designed to be used outdoors and exposed to the elements. Bluetooth speakers work, but those don’t tend to put off enough sound for a social gathering. Well, you’re in luck, because Best Buy has some outdoor rock speakers on sale for a whopping $800 off today. That’s right, normally $1,300, you can grab the Sonance 2.1-channel outdoor speaker system, with a subwoofer, for just $500. Wowzers. Grab that deal if you’re already interested or we can break down why these rocks are so badass.

Why spend $500 on this 2.1-channel outdoor rock speaker system?

If these were ordinary speakers, the specifications might not be that impressive. They’re decent, yes, but compared to a high-quality surround system they stand no chance. But we’re not talking about a premium surround system, are we? We’re talking about weather-resistant, 2.1-channel outdoor speakers with a subwoofer. Normally, you’d be lucky to find outdoor speakers that sound this good, let alone a system that includes a subwoofer. You gotta’ have that bass.

The system is capable of covering a 700-square-foot area for comfortable listening, perfect for any local backyard, patio, or porch setup. It comes with two 2-way 6-1/2-inch satellite rock speakers, which have 1-inch tweeters, plus one 10-inch rock subwoofer. So, there are three speakers in total counting the sub.

If you’re into tech numbers, they offer 89 decibels of sensitivity for crisp, robust audio, with a 50Hz to 20kHz satellite frequency response range and a 35Hz to 150kHz woofer frequency response range. Moreover, they offer 8 ohms of nominal impedance to ensure efficient power conduction. If you have no idea what any of those numbers or stats mean, don’t worry. It means these speakers sound pretty damn good, especially for an outdoor set. Your next cookout, camping session, or family get-together is going to be a blast.

But here’s the best part: They’re discounted by $800 today. Once this deal is over, you will not find this price available again anytime soon. Usually $1,300, they’re just $500 today. If you have a My Best Buy Rewards account and a Best Buy credit card you can also bring that price down even more with a rewards certificate. Even without extra rewards though, that’s a killer price. Rock on.

Peak season, minus the people: National parks to visit in June
June is one of the best times to visit a national park. Here are the top ones on my list.

For most national parks, June is the busiest season of the year. School's out, vacation's in full swing, and families have been planning for months for a little adventure. Yosemite is one of these crown jewels, with its waterfalls full of snowmelt and the weather finally perfect enough for hiking. However, with the timed entry reservations so difficult to snag, you might be better off finding another national park for your summer adventures. Here's my list of the top national parks to visit in June.
North Cascades National Park

Known as the "American Alps," North Cascades National Park holds a similar candle to the Austrian Alps. With its rugged and remote glaciers, jagged peaks, and jaw-dropping waterfalls, you'll see some amazing sights. In June, the melted snow reveals famous trails like the Cascade Pass, with wildflowers growing this way and that. Personally, I can't tear my eyes away from the deep turquoise lakes.

Hiking boots jumping over gap in rocks

For many adventurers, hiking boots are a huge investment into your enjoyment and safety while out on the trail. Choosing a pair is something that often takes a lot of deliberation, and understandably you'll want to get something that can stand up to your toughest adventures. So, how long do hiking boots last? It depends on a variety of factors like the quality of the materials, care and maintenance, and usage. Read on to learn more about a hiking shoe's lifespan and how to keep them in good condition.
How long do hiking boots last?

A quality pair of hiking boots can last anywhere from 500 to 1,000 miles, so a casual hiker who only adventures about fifty miles per year might see their boots lasting a good ten or twenty years. However, frequent hikers or those who adventure on rough terrain may need replacement every one to three years. Personally, I'm in that one to three range because I'll even wear my hiking boots to the grocery store. Overkill? Absolutely. But you never know when you'll have a spare moment to hit the trail.

Grand Canyon Sunset

The sheer size of Grand Canyon National Park, which spans over 1,900 square miles, means you'll need more than just a few days to explore everything in this stunning natural formation — known as one of the world's seven natural wonders.
