A tale in the desert leather1/29/2024 ![]() Our favorite green rebel wouldn’t ever let a little issue like a total lack of water stand in the way of living its wild west fantasy. Standing tall and proud in stark contrast to the ocean of sand, sagebrush is nature’s very own outlier. A woody-stemmed evergreen shrub, it grows naturally from as far south as New Mexico and all the way through to British Columbia. Not to be mistaken for the aromatic herb commonly used in the kitchen, sage, sagebrush belongs to a family of over a dozen species of Artemesia. ![]() So what exactly is sagebrush? Let’s get technical. If we know outlaws, and we like to think we do, then we also know that you’ve seen it in photos, watched cameras pan past it in every Clint Eastwood movie, and your wildest memories are littered with sagebrush shining in the background like little green drops of heated adventures the smell of sagebrush hanging in the still air. One of the most iconic emblems of the Great Basin, no old Western movie set or memories of your favorite sandy adventures is complete without it: sagebrush. Glistening like a silver diamond, the crown jewel in a golden sea of sand. As you gaze around squinting through the rays of relentless sun, you see it. There’s a stillness and a tranquility around you as the sun beats down and a certain smell in the air that reminds you of both the dry heat of the desert combined with the freshness of mother nature herself. Picture this: it’s a summer day and you’re standing in the midst of the Nevada desert.
