Rare footage chronicles its monumental construction and its monumental meaning as a "Shrine of Democracy." In this slice of the American West, you'll hit the road to explore national parks and manmade marvels in a region rich in history, mystery, and majesty!

This program recaptures a bygone era of travel. Board the Empire Builder to Glacier National Park and the Denali Star to Denali National Park. Experience the elegance of the American Orient Express and the restored glory of the Grand Canyon Railway. All aboard for these and other nostalgic journeys through America's National Parks.

Bask in luxurious getaways and rustic retreats that are almost as celebrated as the wondrous landscapes that surround them.
