If you've ever been to one of our nation's national parks, or dreamed of being able to, then this series is a must-have! If you know a national park enthusiast then this is the gift for them. I personally worked for my local Youth Conservation Corps (YCC), and have experienced first-hand the blood sweat and tears that go into the building of hiking trails and pathways. I also know the beaming glow your heart feels after finishing a new trail, or simply fixing one in disrepair. This series takes you front and center, with the men and women who've dedicated their lives to preserving "our national parks". You'll learn about why we're all stewards of these majestic places, from the generations of families visiting the parks to the national park rangers themselves. This series will make you want to bring your loved ones to the national parks. I've personally been to Yosemite and climbed the cables to the top of Half Dome, so I know just how important and irreplaceable our national parks truly are. By dint of being a citizen of the United States, you are part owner and steward to some of the most majestic and beautiful places on Earth. This is an incredibly moving series.Read full review
After close review of the series on national public television of "The National Parks: America's Best Idea" by Ken Burns we began checking local book stores and wholesale clubs. We found these DVD's at Sam's Club, but they were in Blue Ray format and would not play on our standard equipment. I decided to try E-bay for the purchase and was pleasantly delighted they had it AND at a better selling price than even the wholesale clubs. Our product was shipped as soon as our payment cleared all proper steps and we are enjoying our product. I would recommend searching for anything you need on E-bay first. Now! If I could just find that elusive affordable karaoke system I can use in the ministry. Blessings, Pastor Tom
This series showed me wonders I will never see - heart warming stories, breath taking photography of places that make you feel you are there-or at the very least wish you were... I would highly recommend this series to those that want to remember where they visited but mostly to those that are unable to experience such wonders. Bears playing over again and sharing with others.

I think this is Ken Burns' best series and that is saying a lot because I love Ken Burns' approach to everything he does. Before watching the National Parks, I had never focused on his collaborator and writer Dayton Duncan, who is excellent.
