Hey, so right off the bat...

Mountain Gazette is an $89 a year subscription. Why? What do you get for $89 hard-earned dollars?

• The guarantee of two massive, limited edition issues each year
  
• Access to our Sunday Email newsletter
  
• Shipping fee included in the subscription
  
• A customer service team of humans available 7 days a week should you need help with anything
  
• Subscriber only bookmarks and stickers designed by friends and contributors
• The knowledge that 30,000+ other folks continue on as subscribers each year, so you're among good company
  
• No digital access. Print only. It's the best.

Ok, so who the heck are you?

Mountain Gazette's Owner and Editor is out of Lake Tahoe, our team extends across the west (and east), our dogs names are The Mighty Quinn and Sunny, and we print in Missouri at the only facility we feel can print at the size and premium quality we're after.

The magazine is 60 years old as of 2026; but we feel much, much younger. We're independently owned so there's no faceless corporation breathing down our necks to turn the whole thing into an AI slop fest.

There is a long, down and dirty history to read, though. Just shoot us an email and we'll send it your way, no questions asked.

Great, so what's inside this magazine-meets-coffee-table-book?

Not a ton of ads, that's for sure. That's a big part what killed the old model of magazine publishing. Among the 192 pages are expansive photo galleries, essays that sometimes span up to 15,000 words, and art from contributors deeply in love with outdoor culture.

More than a magazine, it’s a twice-a-year reminder to slow down, unplug, and reconnect with what matters—like the wild places we love, both outside and within.

This link takes you to the subscribe page. Don't forget to add Mountain Gazette 205 to get the latest issue when you subscribe.

Any proof?

Sure, if you want to have a read we included reviews from subscribers, kind words from other folks who work at big fancy businesses, and, what were most recently proud of, our nomination for a National Magazine Award for "The Bear Suit" from Issue 203. That's all below.
