A fantastic DVD that provides a general overview of all three parks as well as detailed hiking and tourist information. The DVD is organized very well and has subject matter broken down by chapters in order to easily review a particular subject. Geat product if you are thinking of heading to any of these parks.

I'll say that sight unseen, based on their Canyonlands/Arches video, an incredibly mind-numbing piece for anything about hikers so novice they ought to be required to get a hiker's license first.

Literally more than half of their Arches/Canyonlands 90-minute video of two incredible national parks is of two hikers on sections of trail, including not just difficult slickrock, or deep, plod-inducing loose sand, but flat, packed, kindergarten-level hiking trails.

I will say, sight unseen, skip other "Park BasiX" videos by this same set of people. And, as they are also professional tour guides/outfitters in this area, skip their company as well.

As well as boring with the mind- and eye-numbing fluff of two people hiking, if I heard the hackneyed phrase "It is worth your..." one more time in the Arches/Canyonlands video, I was going to fly to Moab to strangle a couple of people.

And, there was the lack of quality footage of the sights/sites, to boot.

The folks, on that video, would say, "visit this site at sunrise" or "visit here at sunset" for best sun angle, etc., yet all their own shots were basically from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
