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

Hiking and Skiing Sunset Crater National Monument
story and photos by Bruce GrubbsJanuary/February 2007
What to do in the winter when the forest around Flagstaff is too muddy to hike but there's not enough snow to ski or
snowshoe? Check out Sunset Crater National Monument. This small unit of the National Park system is located 12 miles
northeast of Flagstaff off U.S. 89. Numerous lava flows and volcanic cinder cones, of which Sunset Crater is the
