Special Advance Screening: Discovering Valhalla: Oregon’s Hidden Gorge

Wednesday, February 3, 2016 // 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

| Free

Be the first to witness the unveiling of a never-before-documented geologic wonder in the Oregon wilderness: a hidden gorge featuring a chain of 10 waterfalls – including two 100-foot waterfalls fed from different sources – and unusual rock features, such as a slot canyon and a vaulted grotto fringed with ferns and trees.

Oregon Field Guide’s “Discovering Valhalla: Oregon’s Hidden Gorge,” takes you deep into this spectacular canyon for an unforgettable adventure. It recounts the gorge’s discovery and illuminates the impact of finding this hidden gem in the heart of Oregon’s wilderness. It also highlights the canyon’s extreme dangers, which safety experts advise should only be approached by expert canyoneers.

An expedition team of 24 individuals explored the gorge in July 2015. The team included:

  • OPB Producer Jule Gilfillan, OPB Senior Videographer Todd Sonflieth and OPB Videographer Michael Bendixen.
  • Retired Forest Service employee Mike Malone and his son Sean Malone.
  • Mount St. Helens Volcano Rescue member and backcountry guide Jared Smith and his volcano rescue partner Mike Williams.
  • Uncage the Soul adventure photographers John Waller and Ben Canales.
  • “Ascending the Giants” arborist and rigger Brian French.
  • Safety rigger and arborist Benjamin Trapanese.

Following the Oregon Field Guide premiere, video production company Uncage the Soul will take the stage to debut a special film about their Valhalla experience, focusing on the beauty and wonder of this unique and untouched spot in the Oregon wilderness.
