Our 50th anniversary has arrived and High Country News has hit the road in search of the modern American West.

In a series of On the Road to 50 events, we will host community gatherings in cities across the region, seeking to understand what you most value about your community, and asking about what stories you think we ought to pursue, as well as gathering feedback about the magazine’s future direction.

Join us for food, libations and intriguing, enlightening and downright entertaining conversation as we dive deep into the essential issues of the contemporary West, and as we celebrate you— our loyal audience, and our friends, for five decades!
