Trails Magazine Issue 12 - The Photography Issue

Issue 12—our second annual Photography Issue—is a tribute to the visual medium, the beauty of the outdoors, and the photographers who go out of their way to document it for us. Like last year, this unique edition still has all the things you love about Trails: great adventure stories, trail maps, backpacking recipes, skills, and gear. But it's far more visual than our typical issues. We worked with some of the most talented photographers and storytellers in the outdoor space to curate a jaw-droppingly gorgeous magazine with stories from across the continent and world. As always, it's printed on hefty 80-pound paper with fewer ads than any other magazine.

Can I buy this issue without a subscription?

Moving ahead, the latest issue will only be available when purchased alongside a subscription. We print a limited number of "extra" copies beyond what we print for our subscribers, and we want to make sure those are available to anyone purchasing a subscription, so that they can begin reading immediately. Want to read this issue? We'd encourage you to grab some subscription, too, to lock in the best deal moving forward. Alternatively, look for back issues from one of our brick-and-mortar stockists.
