Best hikes, treks, tramps in the world.
Beginning on February 12th, MacGillivray Freeman’s National Parks Adventure will hit IMAX screens around the country in both 3D and 2D showings.

Destination BC has just launched The Wild Within VR Experience, using Oculus Rift technology, making it the first destination marketing organization in North America to use virtual reality to promote the destination.
The Wild Within VR Experience is an interactive, three-dimensional video that allows travellers to experience British Columbia in a truly immersive way, as if they were actually there. …
The Wild Within VR Experience video was filmed in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest, located along the central Pacific coast, over the course of five days in September 2014.
It’s not (yet) possible to share VR on a website. But here’s another of their promotion videos. 🙂

… some amazing footage from Death Valley, featuring the expected scenic landscapes, interesting light play and changing shadows. But about a minute and ten seconds into the short film the images start to change dramatically, giving us nighttime shots of those same landscapes while billions of stars dance by overhead. The sense of scale that these images generate is nothing short of awe inspiring and makes you realize just how tiny our little rock truly is.

This amazing video – which captures Yosemite National Park’s 1,200 square miles (about 3,000 square kilometers) of beautiful scenery – first came to light about a year ago via Vimeo. Today (January 17, 2013), Sheldon Neill and Colin Delehanty’s Yosemite HD project has been viewed over 3 million times!
The project totaled 19 days of shooting over the course of three-and-a-half months. It truly is breathtaking. Make sure to stay on the lookout for the meteor shower that happens about halfway through the video.
