Mikah Meyer – 'Parks Unknown'

In 2005, days after his father’s funeral, 19-year-old Mikah embarked on his first independent road trip. What was initially planned as a post-freshman year getaway quickly became a transformative experience that showed Mikah the healing power of road trips. At age 30, Mikah honored his father’s lost-retirement, and the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, by tackling one of his retirement goals at an age before his father’s 58-year-old passing: Visiting every single one of the 400+ U.S. National Park Service sites—nonstop. After traveling nearly 200,000 miles to every one of the 50 U.S. States, 5 Territories, and 1 District of Columbia, Mikah’s project completed its Finale on April 29, 2019, just steps from where it began at the Washington Monument, when he climbed the steps of The Lincoln Memorial. With 2026 marking the 250th Birthday of America, Mikah is honoring “America250” with the production of his one-man show “Mikah Meyer: Parks Unknown” – a multimedia presentation that is equal parts Rick Steves, Kevin Hart, and Dolly Parton.
