Greta Close is the Managing Editor for Backcountry Magazine and its sister publication Mountain Flyer. Originally from Vermont, she now splits time between the rich forests of her home state and Issaquah, Washington. In her two years working for Height of Land Publications, Greta has realized her passion for storytelling, while also experiencing the challenges facing print media and small independent publishers.

 

Endlessly curious, Greta appreciates the people and their stories which unexpectedly reveal themselves through random conversations and the creative process that goes into telling them. She's proud to be part of a team dedicated to giving such stories—whether written or photographed—a permanent, beautiful place to land. And, if there's a story that won't fit within those pages, she'll find the right way and place to tell it.
