A shoot through 2024

A relentless year has seen a vibrant Hills community living life to the fullest as the world continues to serve up life at a dizzying pace.

Please enjoy a bevy of photographs from our editions from 2024.

Storms, art, community achievements, local notables and more grace our pages every week, offering a little look at local life.

Through it all, life in the Hills has been an exercise in embracing the sometimes furious pace of the world while trying to stay grounded in our rich and beautiful community first environment.

Photos can tell our stories even more powerfully, acting as a timeless record for the ranges. Here is a small selection of snaps as we head into the New Year.
