Due to the popularity of the film last year, we’re bringing back Mike Stein and his film Highways of the Past: Canoeing the Grand Canyon of the Liard!
In 1972 Mike Stein and five fellow adventurers (Adolf Teufele, Wink Bradford, Ferdi Wenger, Jim McConkey & Harvey Fraser) set out on a journey on the Liard River through parts of the Yukon, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories. Their trip focused on the Grand Canyon, a 20 km stretch of the Liard containing numerous class IV and higher rapids, and was filmed by Adolf Teufele. For decades the resulting 16mm film was thought lost, but Mike not only found a copy but had it digitized.
Since its premiere at the Whistler Museum’s 2019 Speaker Series, the film has been on a journey of its own, and Mike Stein will be on hand to discuss the experiences he has had with Highways of the Past over the last year.
Doors open at 6:30 pm. Show begins at 7 pm.
Tickets are on sale at the Whistler Museum. Early bird tickets are $10 ($5 for museum and Club Shred members). Tickets on March 18 are $12 ($7 for museum and Club Shred members).
