Wild & Scenic Film Festival...

A tradition since moving to Tahoe, The Wild and Scenic Film Festival exhibits powerful environmental and adventure films, inspiring its audience to take further action regarding issues that impact our environment, ourselves and our world. The Sierra Nevada Alliance, its sponsor, has been protecting and restoring the Sierra’s majestic mountains, roaring rivers, still clear waters, rural communities and teeming wildlife since 1993.

Each film, while uniquely different, really did inspire. I had two favorites. The Ridge, aptly described: "Danny Macaskill is a very good bike rider. A very, very good bike rider. So he climbed a mountain near his home on the Isle of Skye and did something that will make you scream with joy and horror."

The other favorite was Sufferfest 2. "Less than a year after enchaining the fifteen tallest peaks in California, by bike, Alex Honnold and Cedar Wright have forgotten that it was their worst trip ever and for some reason…they are at it again. This time they attack an ambitious goal to climb 45 of the American Southwest’s most iconic Desert Towers, via their most difficult routes, in an epic and scenic bike journey that takes them through Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Arizona. This movie has it all: gale force winds, hard climbing, snow in the desert, loose rock, and a puppy. What more could you ask for?" I ask the same question when describing this film festival. Fun stuff.
