The Wander the Rim Playlist: Volume One

September 19, 20251 min read

Every journey has a soundtrack. Wander the Rim was created to celebrate the San Bernardino Mountains not only through illustration and storytelling, but also through music — the kind of songs that stay with you long after the trip is over.

The Wander the Rim Playlist is designed to pair with your time on the Rim of the World. It’s a mix of mountain anthems, road-trip energy, and a touch of humor — because exploring the Rim is equal parts awe and delight.

Here are the first tracks that set the tone:

  1. “Mountain Song” – Jane’s Addiction

  2. “Mountain Sound” – Of Monsters and Men

  3. “Mountain Song” – TopHouse

  4. “Sittin’ on Top of the World” – Billy Strings & Molly Tuttle

  5. “My Silver Lining” – First Aid Kit

  6. “(Nothing But) Flowers” – Talking Heads

  7. “Rocky Raccoon” – The Beatles

This playlist is just one of the ways we connect art, story, and place. Together with our coloring and activity booklets, postcards, and prints, it creates a multi-sensory way to experience the mountains.

And for businesses or organizations looking to build meaningful connections with their audience, Wander the Rim also offers custom branding opportunities within our booklets and materials — a way to bring your brand along for the journey.

Stay tuned for more songs, more stories, and more ways to explore the Rim of the World — one page, one playlist, and one wander at a time.
