In 1983, the Bureau of Land Management called the Rocky Mountain Front "a nationally significant area because of its high wildlife, recreation, and scenic values".

It began as part of the British " lads' mag" genre of magazines, though the covers rejected this description with the statement "Front is no lads' mag".

Glamour shoots within the magazine usually involved well-known models rather than celebrities. The magazine had also been responsible for a number of high-profile stunts, most notably smuggling an Eric Cantona lookalike, Karl Power, into the Manchester United team photo during a Champions League game.
