The Burns Effect: Coming Soon to a Screen Near You

Sunday, September 27th will be the premiere of Ken Burns's new documentary on America's National Parks on PBS. There's no doubt that watching in the comforts of your own home is nice, but it's also great to see events happening all over the country (including some hosted by REI as well as other institutions). If you're lucky, you might have caught the free screening in Central Park with Alison Krauss last night.


The Boston Globe's National Parks photo contest has also come to a close. The slideshow of winners and honorable mentions is definitely worth a look.
