Mountain Gazette returns. This monthly eco-literary magazine had a great
run between 1972 and 1979, when it published such noted authors as
Edward Abbey, Wendell Berry, and George Sibley. I was a charter subscriber, devoured every issue, and cried in my beer when it folded. The newly resurrected
Mountain Gazette is a grassroots effort by a former contributing editor at Backpacker and a former editor of The Aspen
Daily News who drive all over the
Rockies and the Sierras to deliver the newsprint-stock magazines. A reader explains:

‘What’s most appealing about the Gazette is its refusal to pander to the
Mountain Dew generation, with its Xtreme sports mentality that shouts, “Get
out of my way.” The Gazette fosters an anti-Xtreme mind-set. Several hundred thousand mountain
lovers have already read enough magazine stories about 20-year-olds
kayaking off 100-foot waterfalls.’
