The thalweg is the deepest part of a canyon. It is the primary navigable channel of a waterway. A boundary between two formations, where the current is the strongest.

The Thalweg exists to support creatives in rural, agricultural, outdoor, and wilderness-based communities. It is a space where the voices of folks who work outside—guides, fisherman, hunters, sailors, rangers, firefighters, educators, land stewards, farmers, ecologists, environmental scientists, and others—come together to explore the strange and beautiful ways they metabolize the wild landscapes where they live and work.

Each issue features a collection of written and multi-media work from 12-18 contributors and is available in a limited print run.

The Thalweg is a a nonprofit supported by grants and donations, fiscal sponsor Northern Arizona Book Festival.
