Thank you to all the photographers that shared their photos showing sparsely inhabited rural areas in the Backcountry Photo Contest with chances for the winner to choose the prize and more!
A special thanks to our friend and professional photographer Isaac Johnston for his collaboration as a guest judge in this photo contest. "I am a fascinator, excitement addict, map collector, adventure evangelist. I grew up in the mountains of Montana working for a backcountry outfitter and spent most my youth exploring the American West. After spending years as a business leader and working with social media influencers, I decided to hop the fence and return to a life of exploring. Now I spend my time telling stories with a camera and creating the most fun adventures I can dream up."
