The ‘Home’ issue of ML Rocky Mountains has dropped.
Our hearts are in these mountains—in the lakes and streams, on the tippy top of peaks, the loam beneath the soles of our trail runners and the rubber of our bike tires. What does home look like for you? A place to protect? A place to travel through—whooping it up with your pals?
Let’s go a step further: Is home even a place? Maybe it’s the feeling you get on a dark forest trail or on belay, surrounded by friends who are family.
This summer at Mountain Life Rocky Mountains, we take a look at our one precious Home.
Writer Andrew Findlay tackles the controversial proposal to green-light coal exploration in the foothills of southwestern Alberta; a paddler’s 1,300 km canoe trip causes her to ponder the future of Kinbasket Lake, the man-made hidden gem between Golden and Revelstoke; a greenhorn fly angler meditates on his newest Rocky Mountain passion; and we catch up with homegrown leisure athlete Katie Burrell, fresh off the heels of her debut feature film, Weak Layers.
We’ve had a few changes at ML Rockies HQ: Publisher and editor Kristy Davison has left us (figuratively—thankfully she only lives a block away) and Jasper local Bob Covey has stepped into the publisher role. We hope you’ll continue to love reading this mag as much as we love making it for you.
May this issue find you stoked to launch into the preeminent (that’s right) Rockies season, surrounded by your favourite people, a bike, a Boler, a campfire—you know, whatever Home means to you. –Erin Moroz
