For those who find solace in the vast landscapes of the West and the depth of investigative journalism, Alta Journal’s The Great Outdoors Giveaway offers a curated collection for the modern explorer. This prize package is designed for the curious traveler who appreciates both the physical journey and the intellectual pursuit of understanding the American wilderness.
Five lucky winners will receive a comprehensive set of gear to enhance their adventures.

To facilitate exploration, the package includes a 2026 Recreation.gov Digital Resident Annual Pass, granting admission to over 2,000 national parks and public lands across the United States.
Beyond the gear, the prize celebrates the literary spirit of the West. Winners will receive a signature Joan Didion canvas tote bag and two classic print editions of Alta Journal: Issue 16, In Search of the Secret West, and Issue 32, Road Trips—The Hidden West. Together, these items provide the tools and the inspiration needed to dive deep into the hidden corners of the landscape.
