Title: Outstanding Documentary
Review: I've had the privilege of visiting numerous national parks in the western U.S. so was looking forward to receiving this DVD series. As usual, Ken Burns and his crew did a remarkable job. I especially enjoyed the extras on each disc with behind-the-scenes footage and discussions with people involved in putting this documentary together. The documentary also makes you reflect on what these areas would be today if commercial interests and developers were successful in stopping the national park designations.A big 5 stars!

Title: Wow!
Review: I just purchased this Blu-ray set The National Parks: America's Best Idea [Blu-ray]. We watched discs 2-6 rented from Netflix, disc 1 is listed in our queue as "Long Wait" :-(There is so much to say about the experience of watching this series, I don't know where to begin... I guess I'll say that Ken Burns has done it again! Thanks to him and his crew. And regardless what others claim, Blu-ray is currently the best format for watching this (HD-DVD is long dead, unfortunately, so BD is the best even with BD-Java). BUY IT!!!My utter enjoyment of this series is amplified by my personal experiences. In 1952, my family drove "across country" in a '51 Ford Woodie station wagon. We camped in many places (couldn't afford hotels/motels... my dad was a Master Sergeant in the US Marines), but my strongest memories are of Yellowstone NP, Badlands NP, and Mount Rushmore NM. Watching this series brought so much back (and tears to my eyes, even now, thinking how fast a lifetime flies) about that trip, as well as other "return" trips to National Parks. One particularly vivid memory was when we were stuck for hours in one of the infamous traffic jams in Yellowstone caused by folks wanting to feed the black bears or wanting to watch folks feeding the black bears. As we sat there, we were all (5 people) watching a family feed several black bears to the left of our car. A (LARGE!) black bear stuck its head into my mom's window and nosed her head... there was quite a ruckus to say the very least, and the fastest upping-windows ever! Man that was cool! I was also a National Park Ranger in the Golden Gate National Recreational Area for two years before I began working for the man.Since 1952, I've been fortunate enough to travel (and many places camp in) this beautiful world of ours including Canada (NWT, BC, Yukon, Alberta), England, Scotland, France (Ahhh, Paris!), Netherlands, Switzerland (ahhhh, Grindelwald), Austria, Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia... but I've never seen anything to compare with our National Park System.In the past 57-years, I've visited the following parks, many more than one visit: Redwood NP, Great Smokey Mountains NP, Grand Canyon NP, Arches NM, Canyonlands NP, Grand Tetons NP, Rocky Mountains NP, Saguaro NP, Tuzigoot NM, Dinosaur NP, Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Death Valley NP, Lake Mead NRA, Joshua Tree NP, Yosemite NP, Pinacles NM, Lassen Volcanic NP (honeymooned there), Point Reyes NS, Muir Woods NM, Lava Beds NM, all of Washington DC's fabulous places, Oregon Caves NM, Mount Rainier NP, Olympic NP, Craters of the Moon NM & Preserve, Colonial NP, several Civil War Battlefields, Shenandoah NP, Gettysburg NMP, Valley Forge NHP, Ellis Island NM, Statue of Liberty NM, Boston NHP, Robert E. Lee Memorial, Jamestown NHS, Theodore Roosevelt Island Park, Everglades NP, Carlsbad Caverns NP, Haleakala NP, Hawaii Volcanoes NP, Glacier Bay NP & Preserve, Sitka NHP, Denali NP, Wrangell-St.Elias NP & Preserve.After watching this series, my wife and I have decided we "need" to visit Yellowstone in the Winter season (maybe this year), and definitely Crater Lake NP.

Review: Anything Ken Burns does I usually like and this is no exception. Having had the privilege of walking through the Western National Parks three summers back this brings back many good memories, and also gives insight into how these parks came into being
