For our August issue, writer Rachel Levin and photographer Jen Siska hopped in the van with Bay Area country-rock band Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers to get an insider view of how musicians road trip the West — and they picked up lots of helpful tidbits for navigating the backroads and postage stamp-sized towns of our beloved region.

Here, we bring you behind-the-scenes photos from that tour through Wyoming and Idaho, with snapshots of performances and sights along the way.
