How to Run Black Canyon in Style & Comfort
Before I dig deeper into my Black Canyon Ultras weekend, I’ll say this: being an ultra trail runner doesn’t have to mean living out of a van or leaning into a dirtbag camping vibe. After years of accepting discomfort in races around the world, I decided to treat myself for once. Run Marathon des Sables in Morocco and you’ll understand. Also, I’m 53 years old, and I’ve earned the right to some comfort. For five days and four nights, I lived like a king: top tier hotels, great restaurants, a spa and an overall level of comfort that absolutely changed how I showed up on race day.

A sensory symphony at Thai E-San
At Thai E-San, a server brings a bubbling bowl of coconut soup to a table as a cloud of steam – fragrant with coconut milk, lemon grass, ginger, curry, mushrooms and fish sauce – wafts behind her, causing heads to turn at nearby tables. A burner under the metal bowl keeps the soup piping hot as diners dip in.

Four Corners: Dining Reviews from across the Valley
Chaat – India’s endless array of snacky street food – is ostensibly the raison d’être for this pleasant, full-service Indian restaurant, which is not the fast-casual concept the word “express” suggests. The menu offers about a dozen chaat as well as plenty of Northern Indian standards. Samosa chaat ($7), decidedly sexier than plain samosa, is a sweet, tangy, spicy and altogether heady combo of crispy smashed samosas combined with chickpea curry, yogurt, tamarind chutney, cilantro-mint chutney, spices and sev (dry, crisp chickpea noodles). Bhel puri ($8), a classic chaat from Mumbai, is even more stunning: a light, bright powerhouse of flavors and textures composed of puffed rice, sev and puri (crispy deep-fried flatbread) as well as tamarind chutney and a chutney of tomato, onion, cilantro and mint.
