Description
Enjoy Breathtaking Beauty at Every Turn in this 4 Disc Scenic Drives Collection - Disc 1: From Maine to Key West Cruise down the most scenic routes of the Eastern Seaboard, driving along Maine's rocky coast, stopping to admire the views at Acadia National Park. Motor to charming Nantucket and then continue on to Cape Cod in its entire summer splendor. Admire the brilliant red and orange leaves common to autumn-kissed New England. Stop and appreciate the dramatic motion of the mighty Niagara Falls. Step into a simpler life in Pennsylvania's Amish Country, and then continue south through the Shenandoah Valley, admiring the lush landscapes and diverse wildlife. Embrace the local charm of Chincoteague Island, and the vast beauty of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains. Heading further south, slow down for some time in Savannah, Georgia's quaint cityscapes. Finish your road trip at the sunny beaches and blue lapping waves in the Florida Keys, the perfect destination for any drive. Disc 2: From Texas to Yellowstone Journey through the ever-changing, beautiful American Heartland, crossing the romantic Bridges of Madison County in Iowa. Travel across a landscape of lush green Missouri hills through the Ozark Mountains. Glide through Montana's Big Sky Country, and stream past Texas' languid and storied Rio Grande. Then traverse Route 170E and loop through Big Bend National Park. Enjoy one of the greatest scenic drives of the American Southwest at Four Corners: navigating through Bryce Canyon, to Arches National park, to Monument Valley, finishing in Mesa Verde, taking in some of the most dramatic landscapes in the nation. Follow Route 160E towards Durango, Colorado for an Old west adventure. Then cruise through the natural and manmade wonders of the Badlands and historic Mount Rushmore. Conclude the western tour with stops at gorgeous Glacier National Park and the national treasure of Yellowstone National Park. Disc 3: From Arizona to Alaska Coast across the dazzlingly diverse American West. Begin your journey at one of the world's favorite vacation destinations - the breathtaking Hawaiian Islands and the idyllic beaches on Hawaii's Kauai Island. Then return to the mainland for one of the greatest wonders of the natural world, the humbling Grand Canyon. Next, cruise along the Pacific Coast at gorgeous Big Sur on Route 1 to the wondrous Yosemite National Park. Next, the road heads to the heart of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Regale in the scenic splendor of Redwood National Park, inhabited by gigantic trees - the tallest on the planet. Next, head north and east toward Oregon's peaceful Crater Lake. Another turn leads to a new Pacific Northwest Adventure from Mt. Rainier to Olympic National Park. Then cruise even further north to Alaska's Seward Highway and Kenai Peninsula, motoring through a blizzard of glorious landscapes and wildlife, and views that will take your breath away. Bonus Disc: America the Beautiful Musical Tribute - Sing the priases of the world's most beautifully diverse land! Nineteen songs (including Oklahoma!, New York, New York, Shenandoah, Rocky Mountain High, My Old Kentucky Home, Ol Man River, Chicago, Take Me Out to the Ballgame) provide an all musical backdrop in this rousing tribute to America's diverse landscapes, landmarks, institutions, and people.

The pictures are not very clear. October 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The concept is good, the sceneries are also beautiful. The only problem is that the cameras are not good. Even though they are on DVD, the picture quality is low, it has that old grainy 70's movies lookalike. With the music and the narrator's voice, i wonder when they actually filmed this? Did they just recycle some old material from the 70's?
Also they tried to avoid people as much as possible, so they rarely see tourists, etc, most of the time, you see those places without the people.
 A 1940s Travelogue September 5, 2008
What a waste of money! It looks as if was done in the 40s. It sounds like it was done in the 40s. Amazon should take it off the market. I bought it for some friends from Europe who were planning a trip here, needless to say I didn't send it.

I bought this for my parents as a gift. They have traveled, by RV, all over the US. While they have seen move of these places, they said it was just wonderful to see them again. Brought back a lot of memories and they had some rather nice conversations about what we did while on these journeys. Also, being older, my parents have started having health issues and this has made them feel a little better! Highly recommend.
