Last night Tammy and I got to go to the Parkway Theatre for a screening of Out There: A National Parks Story. There was a short panel afterward with the film maker and representatives from some of the supporting organizations.

I was excited that Tammy got these tickets. I loved watching Ken Burns’ The National Parks and I’ve long pondered the idea that we should visit every national park. Out There lands very different than the Burns’ epic work. Brendan Hall and his friend Anthony Blake tell a much more human-scale story that is really about connection and the parks. I loved it and highly recommend watching it.

Also, a shout out to these organizations that supported the film: Wild Rivers Conservancy, Voyageurs Conservancy, National Parks of Lake Superior Foundation, National Parks Conservation Association, National Park Friends Alliance, Mississippi Park Connection, and Ice Age Trail Alliance.
