“National Parks Adventure” takes audiences on the ultimate off-trail adventure into the nation’s awe-inspiring great outdoors and untamed wilderness. The film arrived in Zion Canyon Theatre on Feb. 12 and will run through Oct. 31.
Moviegoers will soar over red rock canyons, hurtle down steep mountain peaks, and explore otherworldly realms found within America’s most legendary outdoor places. Along the way, the film becomes at once an action-packed celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the National Park Service and a soulful reflection on what wilderness means to us all.
Filmed in more than 30 national parks across the country, this immersive film for IMAX and giant-screen theaters follows mountaineer Conrad Anker, adventure photographer Max Lowe, and artist Rachel Pohl as they hike, climb, and explore their way across America’s wild and beautiful places — including Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Yosemite and Arches — revealing a tapestry of natural wonders. Captured with IMAX 3D, “National Parks Adventure” celebrates the majesty of national parks and treasured landscapes while highlighting the importance of protecting them.
“There are 408 national parks in our country that many families have not been able to explore,” said MacGillivray. “Our hope is that ‘National Parks Adventure’ will encourage our audiences to discover the beauty and sanctuary of these American treasures, which belong to every one of us.”
“National Parks Adventure” was directed by Greg MacGillivray (“The Living Sea,” “Dolphins,” “Everest”) and produced by Shaun MacGillivray (“To The Arctic,” “Grand Canyon Adventure”). The film was written by Stephen Judson (“Everest,” “To The Arctic”) and Tim Cahill (“Everest”) with a musical score by Steve Wood (“Journey to the South Pacific,” “To the Arctic”).
