At heart, we’re a travel magazine. So it will surprise exactly no one that this issue contains a big travel feature, focusing on summer fun—summer fun in the water, to be exact. You’ll find world-class waterfalls and swimming holes from Utah to Costa Rica, river adventures from Belize to Ohio, and kayak trips from Maine to Seattle.
But we’re not just a travel mag. We also particularly love telling stories about people, the kind that make you want to hug the stranger in the next seat. (Please get permission first.) That may be why, each month, more than 5 million people spend an average of 30 minutes with each issue.
This month, managing editor Brad Pearson profiles Rupal Patel, who provides unique voices to people who have lost them—voices that come as close as possible to the ones they were born with. Try not to cry when Rupal enables one of her patients to say, “I love you.”
So go on, laugh, cry, and get your feet wet. Then tell us about it at letters@southwestmag.com. We can’t wait to hear from you. Happy reading!
