DAYTON DUNCAN PERSPECTIVES
When Ken Burns and I set out to make “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” for PBS, we were not interested in making a travelogue or a nature film. We wanted to tell the story of an idea – a uniquely American idea – that a nation’s most special and sacred sites should be set aside, not for royalty or the rich alone, but for everyone and for all time.
In our partnership with Tauck, we chose to craft our first tour around six national parks in the Southwest that evoke the haunting spirit of the desert:
• To help you experience the inspiring natural beauty of the desert – a unique American landscape we find particularly compelling
• To tell the stories of the spirit of the individual people throughout the centuries who have worked tirelessly to save these landscapes from destruction
• To relate the deep significance that the parks have to everyone who encounters them – from Native Americans to newcomers – and discover a deeply personal, often spiritual connection to the land we inhabit
We’ll take you behind-the-scenes to tell some stories of our days filming in the national parks of the Southwest, and you’ll meet some of the people who helped us along the way. Through them, you’ll hear rich stories and learn about the characters and events that shaped the parks – and you’ll come away with much more than a gallery of scenic pictures. We hope this trip will lead you to a deeper appreciation of the parks, create a lasting memory, and help you feel for yourself the spirit of these special places and people.
