I’m very excited about the indie publishing model that @trailsmag.net is pursuing, and even more stoked to contribute a short review of the best trail snacks I’ve eaten lately. The pinni and mango lassi leather from Panj River are fueling my trail runs all summer 🏔️

Mail day! ✉️
Extra pumped to get the latest issue of @trailsmag.net in the mail today because I’ve got a photo in it! Always a joy to see one of my photos in print, and to remember this blustery autumn day in the Absarokas.

I had the wonderful opportunity to illustrate a full-page spread in issue 9 of Trails Magazine! 🌿🏔️

This piece is part of their Cartograph section and highlights a beautiful backpacking loop through the La Sal Mountains—featuring a hand-illustrated map and five endemic wildflowers

#Freelancers! We’re looking for backpacking food pitches! Alignment with our threads (“efficiency” and “connection”) is great, but not critical. We need recipes as well as stories: Think a profile of a backcountry chef or a review of a unique piece of camp kitchen gear. Email [email protected]!

We’re not interested in keeping this a secret or too exclusive! Learn how to get your story in print!
I'm not sure yet if this site has the same community of #freelance writers eager to hear a #callforpitches as the other side, but let's see if we can't find out.

@trailsmag.net is looking for pitches for Issues 10 and 11!
