Write for FreeRein
However you appreciate the wilderness and everything in it, you are welcome here.
Tell us the story of the first time you went hiking and thought you saw a bear.
Show us jawdropping landscape photos from your vacation.
Write a haiku about plants.
Describe the sunset in excruciating detail, paint a picture of a coral reef, review a travel book, teach us something new, or make up a funny story about bees.
Whatever.
There’s a reason we call it FreeRein.
