ADVENTURE – Alaska wilderness endurance traveler and adventure filmmaker Luc Mehl will present a program featuring some of his mind- blowing expeditions, 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 15, at Mountain Gear Corporate Office , 6021 E. Mansfield in Spokane Valley.

Mehl has traveled more than 4,000 miles through wilderness in the past six years, including a bike-ski-raft traverse of Denali, a self-supported 30-day traverse over Mount Logan (highest mountain in Canada) and a traverse of Pico de Orizaba (highest peak in Mexico).

He’s known for refining ultralight travel techniques – incorporating tools such as ice skates and pack rafts – to average 40 miles a day in the raw backcountry of the Alaska Mountain Wilderness Classic adventure races.

The event is free, but donations will be accepted for the Inland Northwest Backcountry Alliance .
