What is Backroad Portfolio?
Long before highways, backroads transported us to the places in between. Some evolved into interstates. Others exist in pristine condition, curving around the boundaries of cities and new suburbs. They beckon us to travel their winding lanes that lead to hidden gems, undiscovered adventures, and untold stories.
Backroad Portfolio magazine is a seasonal celebration of southeastern backroads through modern storytelling and compelling imagery. We travel roads marked by endless fields, immaculate vistas, and cozy, small towns. We offer print and digital versions of each quarterly issue, and post many of those stories here for you to read.
