Keely Larson writes about cool products and outdoor wear for Outside. She was born and raised in Montana and hasn’t left. Keely worked for community newspapers, got a master’s degree in environmental journalism, freelanced for publications like Reasons To Be Cheerful, The New Republic, Ars Techinca, KFF Health News, and local Montana publications like Montana Free Press and Mountain Journal. She’s back in community news and edits two podcasts including Ed Roberson’s Mountain & Prairie. Her favorite piece she wrote for Outside was about social justice and climate action and her favorite piece in general is about an underwater river in rural Montana.
Outside of Outside, she’s taking a lot of dance classes, trail running really slowly, and drinking Prosecco.
