Lake Fellowship warmly welcomes guest speaker Mikah Meyer!
About the program: In Canyon Chorus, world record traveler and Minneapolis resident, Mikah Meyer, and his mentor Larry journey down Utah's Green River through Desolation Canyon, on a rafting trip centered around joy and recognizing the important people in our lives. Part of the story involves Mikah's journey to all 400+ National Park Service sites that led him to move to Minneapolis after seeing and choosing from the entire country! Come see the update to that national parks story—plus a twist you won’t see coming—in the film Canyon Chorus, and hear Mikah preach about the importance of symbols that celebrate who we are.
About Mikah: National Parks Expert, Mikah Meyer, has been described as a “Professional Road Tripper” by REI, but he’s much more than that: A classically trained singer, social media personality, and frequent speaker everywhere from Amazon.com’s headquarters to National Park Foundation galas.
Raised as a Lutheran preacher’s kid in the flat state of Nebraska (Larry Meyer, Uni. of Nebraska-Lincoln), Mikah is passionate about exploring all types of outdoor locations, and helping people of divergent backgrounds find joy and common ground through their shared love of nature.
This advocacy was seen at the 2024 Banff Centre Mountain Film Festival and following Banff World Tour through his short film “Canyon Chorus,” and via his diverse adventures, including runs across the states of Minnesota, Mississippi, and Nebraska, and a 3-year, world record setting road trip to all of America’s 400+ National Park Service sites.
A Minneapolis resident, Mikah is the creator of the Outside Safe Space symbol, which is sold at park gift shops and recreation stores including REI nationwide, and is currently being worn by over 100,000 people in the United States as a non-verbal signifier of LGBTQ+ allyship in outdoor, rural, and active spaces.
He has been featured by The Today Show, NPR, Late Night with Seth Meyers, The Guardian, and National Geographic Traveler.
