Find inspiration for your own outdoor adventure at Be Wild

Published 2:10 pm Friday, March 13, 2015

Mountaineers Books are putting passion and adventure on the stage. This is the second year for their Be Wild series.

They hope the talks inspire people to seek adventure, connect with nature and work to protect wild places. The first talk is at 7 p.m. Tuesday with John Roskelley, who is best known for mountain climbing. More recently, he turned his attention to paddling. His new book, “Paddling the Columbia,” is a guidebook to the entire 1,200 miles of the river.

Additional upcoming talks:

April 10: Colin Haley, Shuksan to Cerro Torre

May 19: Jennifer Wu, The Amazing Night Sky: Shooting Dusk to Dawn

Aug. 12: Dave Showalter, Capturing the Spirit of the Sagebrush Sea

Tickets for a single show are $14 for Mountaineers members or $16 or nonmembers. There are also options to buy part of the series or the full series.
