A female fishing crew works to unravel a net by spinning the net in a box with half a cork nailed to the bottom of it. The net was loaded with 1900 pounds of salmon when the surf rolled and raveled their net. When the surf is really high the cannery doesn't take fish due to the bruising the fish undergo in the nets.

New West and the Outdoors
When one looks through the photos that have been submitted to New West over time, either directly or through our robust Flickr pool of enormously talented contributors, it is clear that the landscape inspires creative genius. To date, our 835 Flickr group members have uploaded nearly 27,000 photos, and many of them are jaw-dropping-ly gorgeous.
In reader survey after reader survey, the New West audience continues to peg outdoor recreation as their favorite topic of interest, and with the stunning Rocky Mountain backdrop, the (recreation and photo) possibilities are endless.
When we match the two – reader interest and beautiful photos – we come up with a new editorial home which also serves as a great place to show off the robust Rocky Mountain photo talent: Adventure Rockies.
The writers for Adventure Rockies have diverse interests and styles, and they write about river guiding, running, hiking, rafting, and a whole host of other outdoor recreation. The stories are anchored by a changing set of photos, so please visit and then promptly…..send us your best shot(s)! We will run as many of them as time and space permits, and then we will run them again here to give your work the widest exposure possible. It’s a win/win.
