Welcome to InsideOutsideMag.com
Dear Readers,
This is good-bye. After nearly 12 years of publication, Inside/Outside Southwest magazine has ceased publication of its print publication and will soon shut down this Web site. We tried a variety of ways to survive but our efforts could not overcome the effects of the bruised national economy.
The September print issue, its content available below, will circulate through its regular channels throughout September, but then that will be the end of it. I have enjoyed my seven years — 60 issues! — as editor and designer of Inside/Outside Southwest. It has been a great opportunity to serve you, Dear Reader, by working with a variety of talented writers, photographers and illustrators who share with you an excitement and passion for the outdoors, recreation and culture of the Four Corners region of the Southwest. I love this magazine, and I hope you find it in your hearts to keep its spirit alive by taking to the Four Corners with gusto, with care, with hope — and with love, too.
Farewell,
Jan Nesset
Editor in Chief
September 2010 Issue

Still Learning to Share
story and photos by Steven J. MeyersSeptember/October 2005
When I casually mentioned to Tom, a friend who hunts blue grouse, that I was thinking about writing a piece about
grouse hunting for Inside Outside Southwest, the suddenness and vehemence of his response took me by surprise.

Let's Party!
by Amy MaestasFebruary/March 2008
Festivarians are a special lot - they suffer from a music addiction that is made all the easier to endure when done in a community setting. Some of the festivals listed here attract the same audience every year, because what they have to offer can't be replicated on your iPod or satellite radio....(more)
