Issue 004: Far West Texas
Saddle up y’all, we are headed to Far West Texas for our fourth issue. The Far West is defined by its vast remote beauty. This is “big sky country.” The seemingly endless blue sky is dotted with cotton ball clouds and made even more pronounced by the mountains below. This is road trip country, too. You’re gonna wanna roll your windows down, turn up the music, and glue your eyes outside. This issue is your guide to exploring this diverse and boundless region. You’ll raft through canyons, hike to the tallest peaks, backpack through remote wilderness, soak in hot springs, experience wild desert art, boulder in a historic state park, travel over the border to Mexico, and eat all the tacos your stomach can handle. This is a rough and tumble area meant for adventures. We will be your guide to this unexplored slice of Texas.
We will take you to Big Bend National Park and show you the best places to hike and where to soak your bones afterward. We’ll share about the fight for freedom in this land by both the Buffalo Soldiers and the Apaches. The issue will explore the cultural exchange between Mexico and Texas and how those border relations have played out through the years. Learn where to bikepack and how exactly to go about doing it. You’ll get recommendations on where to raft down the Rio Grande and tips for visiting Marfa.
This Far West Texas issue is your go-to guide to all that the Far West has to offer. With this issue, you’ll get over 100 pages of breathtaking photos, engaging articles, detailed hiking guides, insider tips, essential maps, regional knowledge, and the hottest restaurant, lodging, and camping recs. It’s beautiful and durable. Show it off on your coffee table or—the best part—throw it in the passenger's seat when you’re ready to go!
