I live 30 minutes from Rocky Mountain and took it for granted. Now I want to see all of the national parks. I"m completely inspired by all the historic people Burns talks about. Amazing people. <br /><br />PS It's now in my netflix queue. I can watch it over and overKristen Lodgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08501948118265342268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6651656564842797172.post-23535038160231194822009-10-03T09:50:06.212-04:002009-10-03T09:50:06.212-04:00I thought it was about 4 hours longer than it need...I thought it was about 4 hours longer than it needed to be - the pace was too slow, and they went into too much detail over seemingly little things. But, overall, I did like it and I learned a few things. I appreciated the historical stories about how Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Grand Canyon came into being. But you're right, they did spend too much time on the "crown jewels" and not enough on the crown. I normally don't watch much TV, so it was a struggle for me to sit there for two hours on six consecutive nights. Your idea of spreading it out would have been better.<br /><br />jugglerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
