Borderlands: Wide-Eyed

This land is crossed by thousands of people making their way into America for jobs, money, and sometimes a better life. Following those people are the officers charged with upholding the laws of this country. Surrounded by this rugged land and the thousands upon thousands of souls both running and chasing are yet another group of people: the ones who call this place home. I am happy to have had the chance to be one of those people.

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.
