New Mountain Magazine 2

New Mountain Magazine Issue 2 explores the transformative power of outdoor adventure through personal essays, photo stories, and intimate conversations with those who find meaning beyond the trailhead. This edition centers on photographer Chris Burkard's journey from California to Iceland—a story of burnout, relocation, and rediscovering what matters through slowing down and embracing uncertainty.

Inside, you'll find stories of sisterhood in Svalbard's Arctic expanse, solitude at sea, and the healing qualities of high-altitude landscapes. The issue features conversations with endurance cyclists Gaby Thompson and Lael Wilcox, Merrell 1TRL's Paul Ruffles, and Groundtruth Global founders Georgia and Nina Scott, plus a field guide to cooking outdoors. New Mountain celebrates exploration on your own terms—no agenda required.
