Yes—you read that right! — Lisa Richardson and Garret Grove take us inside the making of Jordan Manley’s soul-stirring Treeline. — The journey of British Columbia’s Tŝilqhot’in people has been a long one.

Each year we work hard to produce a new Mountain Life Annual in conjunction with a raft of dedicated partners, writers, photographers, designers and readers who support our mission of keeping quality storytelling alive. When it’s done, placing a copy of the Annual on a coffee table feels like putting up a big tent and inviting everyone in for tea. Meanwhile, inside the digital doors of Mountain Life you’ll also find the best of the Annual. Whichever place you choose to meet, we’re sure you’ll find our social-, culture- and environment-oriented ethos to be warm respite from a world of otherwise boilerplate outdoor adventure.
