Join us for an unforgettable event celebrating adventure and belonging in outdoor spaces—hosted by our friend, partner, and acclaimed filmmaker Mikah Meyer. If you haven’t met Mikah yet, you’re in for a treat—he’s never met a stranger and brings humor, heart, and energy to every conversation. As an openly gay adventurer and advocate, Mikah uses storytelling and his Outside Safe Space initiative—gear you’ll find in all REI stores—to champion visibility and inclusion for LGBTQ+ communities in the outdoors. His work was included in the Banff World Tour and earned national recognition from The Today Show, Late Night with Seth Meyers, and Outside Magazine. Mikah also made history as the first person to visit all 419 U.S. National Park Service sites in a single journey—a feat that redefined what representation in adventure looks like. This special event features three short films followed by an interactive Q&A. Viewers will enjoy Mikah's award-winning film "Canyon Chorus" (16.5 min) which captures a transformative rafting trip shared by friends in Desolation Canyon and the true spirit of belonging; then, a short film about his 14-day 300+ mile ride across Oregon called "I am a Cyclist" (3.5 min) to prove biking is for everyone; and finally, Mikah’s latest release "Miss Adventure" (18 min) chronicling his Run Across Mississippi for LGBTQ+ visibility—exclusive to REI events!
Notes
This special event features"The Rick Steves of National Parks” sharing award-winning short films and stories from his 3-year, world record road trip to all of America's 400+ National Park Service sites, plus his newest short film "Miss Adventure" about running across Mississippi in a unicorn dress after his Instagram voted it “The Most Homophobic State in America,” — you can see it at REI before its World Premiere happens later this year! Don't miss this Dolly Parton-style event that will also include singing in addition to stories from the road and a handful of award-winning adventure short films focused on running, cycling, rafting, and a mysterious forest dwelling creature! Join at 5:30pm for an all-paces 5k run hosted REI Run Club and The Frontrunners, followed by the film screening beginning at 7pm.
