Mountain Gazette offered proof that "outdoor literature" need not be an oxymoron. Running a scant eight years, from 1972 to 1979, the magazine featured material by major writers and artists on outdoor and adventure subjects. This volume collects the best material ? nonfiction, fiction, photography, cartoons, and illustrations ? from the old and new Mountain Gazette. Selections include singer-songwriter Katie Lee?s "The Ride," a meditation on biking through town naked; "The Monkey Wrench Gang: A Review," by George Sibley; and Karen Recknagel's "Climbing the Walls in Berkeley." Other contributors include Edward Abbey, Galen Rowell, Steve Wishart, and Cindy Kleh.

Since 2000, M. John Fayhee, who splits his time between the Colorado High Country and New Mexico's Gila Country, has been the editor of the iconic Mountain Gazette. Fayhee has also been one of the Gazette's most prominent writers. "Bottoms Up" is a compilation of Fayhee's best work from the Gazette and includes stories about his travels to exotic locations such as Mexico's Copper Canyon Country, China's Yangtze River, the wild and dangerous border country of southern New Mexico, the tops of Colorado's highest peaks and the depths of some of the West's seediest bars. Fayhee also applies his keen journalistic eye and humorous storytelling technique to such seemingly mundane topics as the making of snowmen, the roots of John Denver's "Rocky Mountain High" and pickled food items often found in large jars located on dusty back bars.

M. John Fayhee's wayward wanderings have seen him illegally backpacking through the world's deepest gorge in China, paddling across crocodile-infested waters in a leaky Zodiac in the Dominican Republic, rafting the Chattooga River with the banjo-playing boy from "Deliverance" and coming face-to-face with a giant statue of Christ in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. Fayhee has recounted many of these off-the-social-grid mis-adventures in his monthly "Smoke Signals" column for the Mountain Gazette, of which he is the editor. Fayhee has distilled his favorite "Smoke Signals" tales into his latest book: "Smoke Signals: Wayward Journeys Though the Old Heart of the New West."

A Long Tangent: Musings by an old man & his young dog hiking every day for a year

WHEN M. JOHN FAYHEE first arrived in New Mexico's rugged Gila Country, he was a naive 20-year-old who didn't know a javelina from an enchilada. Much has changed in the intervening half century.\nIn this meandering memoir, Fayhee, with his loyal dog Casey at his side, takes us through the heart of the Gila - once the stomping ground of Geronimo and Billy the Kid and home to the world's first legally designated Wilderness Area - as he endeavors to hike every day for a solid year through some of the country's most remote and challenging terrain. "A Long Tangent" explores the process of going from wide-eyed young man to 
crotchety old fart as he comes to terms with his mortality, with the fact that "There are many more trail miles behind me than there are ahead."\nMore than that, though. This is the story of the bond between a man and his canine companion as it evolves through deep canyons, across bone-dry mesas in ninety-five degree heat and toward the cactus-covered mountains that rise above the desert lands of southwest New Mexico.\nAlong the way, Fayhee reflects upon rattlesnakes, hiking sticks, bears, exploding rocks, mystery mountains, disorientation, poorly worded religious texts, lost pets, marriage, the relationship between hikers and their vehicles, and a past that slips ever further into the rearview mirror.
