America's National Parks and National Monuments are the most numerous in the world.  They have been called by Ken Burns, the celebrated documentary videographer, America's Best Idea. They are a shining example of Democracy at its best.  The American People are the owners and stewards of these repositories of natural wonders so astonishing that they take one's breath away.  They bring something uniquely transcendent to each person who experiences them, and are a source of both wonderment and great tranquility.  This presentation is but a sampling of what the National Parks and National Monuments have to offer.
