THE AMERICAN WEST
ZION
Its natural beauty and “towering rock walls, splashed with brilliant hues of
tans and reds interspersed with whites” earned Zion designation as a national park in 1919.
CANYONLANDS
The National Parks: America’s Best Idea film editor Paul Barnes said “Canyonlands is spectacularly beautiful, peaceful and mysterious... and no one goes there.”
CAPITOL REEF
Dayton Duncan likes showing people “what we saw when making our film.” Flightseeing over Capitol Reef National Park opens up vistas that elude the everyday traveller.
8. GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK Dawn Patrol takes in the North Rim – and remember, sunrise comes pretty early! Naturalist John Muir remarked: “The dawn... is beautiful; and when the first level sunbeams sting the domes and spires, with what a burst of power the big, wild days begin.” A talk by Marty Ott, former Superintendent of Zion National Park, takes you “inside” the United States national parks system and explains about life in the park. The day is free to explore “your park” as you please; optional activities include additional ranger talks about history, geology, etc., and mule rides. Or, you just might want to sit for a spell in the Adirondack chairs on the porch of your comfortable lodge with a refreshing drink in hand – and gaze at one of the most fantastic views on Earth.

9. “FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE...” A final Dawn Patrol takes in the spectacular sunrise, at your own pace, from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. The last of our film vignettes features reflections by Ken Burns about our own private memories of the national parks – they are not about the “views,” but instead they are the memories of those you shared those incredible views with. Dayton Duncan’s vignette explains how the parks belong to all of us, and the need to continue to help to protect them for future generations. The most fitting farewell to the Southwest is a flightseeing trip from Kanab over the western regions of the Grand Canyon to Las Vegas for your return home. Join us tonight for farewell drinks and dinner. Meals BLD
