PBS Program Alert: Ken Burns Nat' Parks on 9/27

Ken Burns upcoming film, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, will begin airing on PBS on September 27.

The 12-hour, six-part documentary series, is the story of an idea as uniquely American as the Declaration of Independence and just as radical: that the most special places in the nation should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone.

The documentary was filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales, including Acadia, Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon as well as Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

If you can't wait another couple weeks, or just want to see some video of beautiful scenery, check out this extended preview from the film:
