Trails West Magazine:
Covering the Vast Western United States

About Trails West Magazine

We’re Long Draw Productions, LLC, and we began Trails West Magazine as a travel guide to western Nebraska, south-central South Dakota, and all of Wyoming. The county of Scotts Bluff contracted our magazine as a means to promote the area for tourism. Needing an online platform to index the region’s resources using custom, original media, the county—pushed by Charlie Knapper—hired our staff.

We carried out our work until late 2022, when the county—specifically recused county commissioner Charlie Knapper—violated our contract. At that point, we chose to move on as we shifted our focus to new projects. Trails West Magazine was placed on pause, remaining online as a resource for the stories we created in 2022 up til 2024.

Now, we’re back—and we’re not just a travel guide anymore. We’ve got better stories, sharper photography, and a clearer vision for the narratives we want to tell.

Introducing the new Trails West Magazine — your trusted guide to the heart and soul of North America’s special interest stories. We venture beyond the beaten path, capturing the spirit of discovery through compelling narratives and immersive video. From the rugged frontiers of the Americas to the far reaches of the Pacific, we explore the land’s rich history, sweeping landscapes, and vibrant cultures.

Our team of seasoned writers seeks out hidden gems and remote getaways to bring you inspiring features, in-depth destination guides, practical travel tips, and striking visuals — everything you need to plan your next great adventure.

 

Our Mission

At Trails West Magazine, our mission is to inform and inspire through captivating narratives, authentic photography, and concise documentaries that spotlight special interest stories and adventure destinations. While our roots trace back to 2020 as Nebraska West Magazine, our horizons expanded in 2023, moving beyond western Nebraska to explore fresh and diverse subjects. We go wherever our Jeep will take us—and often, even farther.
