Welcome to InsideOutsideMag.com
We love the Southwest. No kidding, we're bonkers for it. We can't get enough of it, especially the Four Corners region. Our region. We express the love in this Web site and in Inside/Outside Southwest magazine, publications that celebrate the Four Corners' active lifestyle through captivating stories, inspiring photo galleries, music and books from local artists, news from around the region, and we do that with a perspective that the region's mainstream media cannot. Come in and join the community.

Independent Film Festivals of the Southwest 2010
by Amy MaestasFor movie buffs, we hope it's not a teary-eyed revelation that Inside/Outside Southwest's annual festival preview has had to learn that brief writing is a virtue. The positive way to look at that is to understand that there are so many independent film festivals going on in the Southwest - and a bit beyond the region - that the previews are shorter but the list is longer.

10 Ways for Roadies to Dodge a Bad Rap
by Chris BettinJune/July 2005
Cyclists, in large margins, are elitist assholes. People from all walks of life really hate them. By "cyclists," I

cannot be considered "cyclists" when

Mountain Biking
Hot & Spicy
story and photos by Bill SiebersmaOctober/November 2005
The High Desert Trail System is a new stacked loop trail system located on the high mesas northwest of Gallup, New
Mexico. It features huge views, narrow winding single track and fine art sculpture whimsically sited along the way.
It's mountain biking with a bit of an art gallery twist, delightful, and perhaps to be expected given the area's
reputation as a haven for fine artists.

There is an older gentleman in our trailer park whom we've recently befriended. Or he's befriended us. He showed up
at our doorstep last week and sat down for a cup of coffee. He's 75 years old and lives alone – except for his two
cats – in a trailer that is slowly falling apart. The plumbing leaks, and he hasn't had the inclination to fix it

Tippett, brings all the greatest thinkers of our time to the show and engages in wide-ranging conversations on faith
and humanity. This show has nothing to
