Out third annual Photography Issue, Issue 16 is a celebration of the gritty side of both adventure and photography. It features the story of a group of strangers getting together for a backpacking trip in Oregon's Three Sisters Wilderness. There's one photographers analysis of the similarities of film photography with a multiday ski trip in the Purcell and Seklirk Mountains. One writer uses a canoe trip to the Boundary Waters as a tool to explore the meanings of words as she translates Spanish poetry. A paddler heads just a few miles of the Seattle coast to explore a forgotten historic island. Another writer-photographer duo explores traveling off-route in Greenland. And finally, the story of a packrafting trip across Alaska's Admiralty Island, during which the team is recording data to help the area's maintenance. Plus all the maps, recipes, Outhouse Review, and more than you expect from Trails, behind a spectacular image from Evan Wong from British Columbia's Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. As always, our Photo Issue is rotated 90 degrees allowing for spectacular panoramic landscape shots and comes in a protective sleeve so it stands up on your bookshelf alongside all your other issues.
