Synopsis:
An unforgettable tour by air, roadway and trail of three U.S. national parks embracing 6,241 square miles of the world's most spectacular wilderness. Witness dozens of waterfalls plunging into Yosemite Valley from the great precipices of its 4000-foot granite walls. Then to Montana and Yellowstone, where the world's greatest concentration of geysers and hot springs, waterfalls, and canyons surrounds a pure mountain river, a broad plateau, and one of the world's great wildlife refuges. Finally, try to find words to describe the extraordinary beauty of Montana's lesser-visited Glacier National Park of Northern Montana, where 50 glaciers, more than 250 glacier-fed lakes, broad glacier-carved valleys, and precipitous peaks stand among thick forests of spruce, ponderosa pine, larch, fir, hemlock, and cedar. We'll catch bear, elk, moose, cougar, caribou, mountain goat, bald eagle, and osprey roaming the landscape.
