Highland Outdoors, published quarterly by New South Media, Inc., is the definitive voice of outdoor adventure in the Appalachian Highlands. Unlike other publications, Highland Outdoors doesn’t just report on outdoor recreation—it lives it, capturing the pulse of Appalachia’s wild places through immersive journalism, evocative photography, and profiles of the region’s most inspiring figures. With a strong focus on West Virginia—the only state located entirely in the Appalachian mountains—and its neighboring highland states, the magazine celebrates not only the landscapes and world-class adventure opportunities but also the people and issues that shape the region. Rooted in environmental stewardship, Highland Outdoors is more than a magazine—it’s a movement, elevating the role of outdoor storytelling as a catalyst for community, conservation, and connection.
