# We Adventure with Mike Rogge

Ashley Rose Young, Curator of American History in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division, welcomes guests to the division’s America 250 symposium, Our Common Ground: 250 Years of Americans Engaging with Nature. She then highlights rare books and related materials from the division that capture the many ways people have experienced and documented diverse American landscapes, from the Appalachian Trail to the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The event’s featured speaker, Mike Rogge, then presents his talk, “We Adventure.” Drawn to the thrill of exploration in mountain environments, Rogge’s lifelong appreciation of soaring peaks inspired him to revive Mountain Gazette, a large-format print magazine, in 2020. A journalist and editor, Rogge discusses how a childhood shaped by outdoor adventure and a career in journalism informed his commitment to documenting nature through an expansive print format rarely seen in 2026.
