THE AMERICAN WEST IN ALL ITS GLORY OUR ANNUAL FAVORITES LIST CELEBRATES DESTINATIONS ACROSS THE WESTERN UNITED STATES.

HERITAGE TRAVE

Cowboy Cinching Up, SMS Ranch, Spur, Texas, 1939

Along blue highways to endless vistas, starry nights to warming sunrises, a trip across the American West—in winter, spring, summer or fall—is sure to inspire the traveler willing to leave the road most traveled for the unexpected experiences waiting beyond the horizon.

Why does the West continue to inspire people? Is it the land, the culture, the work, the art, the literature, the mythology? I believe it is all of it wrapped into one, a sense of place that can’t be defined by borders or time. I’ve traveled thousands of miles back and forth across the vast region, and I can tell you without a doubt I know when I’m back in the West. The sky, the sun, the air, the space, the smell and the Western vista beyond the edge of my eyes all envelop my senses and remind me of why I love it.

At True West, we hope that our Best of the West inspires you to envelop yourself in the West and make it your destination of choice this year and for many years afterward. Revisit your favorite places and also go where you’ve never gone before. I did that this year, including a trip to alltime favorites, Death Valley and the Sierra Nevada, and seven days rafting on the Salmon River in Idaho. They call it “the river-of-no-return,” but I will be returning again and again. And, I encourage you to, too.

THE RESURRECTION OF BILLY THE KID

It all starts with that only known photo of Billy the Kid. He is standing there with a rifle, right? That's what everyone's seen from the start—old newspaper clippings, whatever. But even when that photo was first taken, they doctored it. Tried to fix it right out of the gate. They botched it. It was badly done. So instead of seeing this smart little Irish kid, America saw a moron.
