I have been to the canyon several times. It is not possible to catch the beauty of it on any media, but this video comes as close as I have seen. Everyone should really make the effort to see it in person. The impression will last a life time.

This is a breathtaking documentary showing the true colors of the Grand Canyon! You will not regret adding this beautiful documentary to your BluRay collection.

There is also single-disc Blu-ray edition (which I bought). So what's the difference? Per the Questar website:

"In addition to the Blu-ray disc, this combo pack also includes:

1. DVD version of the program(s) that you can play in your DVD player, vehicle or computer.

2. Digital copy of the program that you can download to your computer and/or transfer to your mobile devices."

I had the same problem as one of the previous veiwers. This Blue Ray DVD does not work on my new Samsung Blue Ray disc player. What a dissapointment. I had bought my copy at Borders and had hoped to buy one here that would work. Grateful for the reviewer before me that shared his comments.

I tried two copies of this disk--neither plays in my brand-new Samsung BD-1600 Blu-Ray player, which plays all the other Blu-Ray disks I've put into it. Only the menu plays--you can't get past it, and eventually the player locks up and has to be powered down to get the disk out. Save you money and buy another video on the Grand Canyon.

It is difficult to capture the essence of one of the earth's greatest spectacles. This DVD takes you from the north & south rims to the amazing mid canyon country to the mighty Colorado. It even includes the magnificent Havasupai blue green waterfalls. If you're planning a trip, it offers many ideas of things to consider doing. It made me realize that exploring the grandest canyon of them all takes time.

As a another reviewer said - you can't hope to capture the real epic grandure of the spectacular scenery on any form of video - but this does come close. I've got several versions of the Canyon on DVD, including "Canyon Dreams" and a transfer from 45 minutes of 16mm film from a personal trip made in 1970....and none of these are as pristine as this DVD. I have no issue with this playing on either of my SONY BD players - so the problems some people are having must be directly related to the software in the SAMSUNG ( try finding the online upgrade and update the machines - the copy guard and software permissions are constantly changing on BD - I've had to bump my SONY's several times to keep them current ). Good Luck and enjoy !!

Quality could have been much better. There is a lot more to see and experience than what is seen here.
