    Olympic is included, and one of my personal favorites - I honeymooned in Olympic and have filmed Olympic several times since. But of course in a 1 hour DVD or Blu-ray you can't do justice to any one park. I do hope we've inspired people to visit and better appreciate the special nature of what these public lands are and mean to so many Americans and the world.

    • @finleyholiday
      @finleyholiday 4 дні тому

      Mostly a Sony FX30 and A6600 with a Laowa 24mm probe lens to get the good underwater shots. Manual focus though. Tough to track these little guys in that 1/4" depth of field and you need lots of light. A full frame sensor is better in low light but the depth of field is even less, so I stick with the APS-C sensor cameras for this.

    Great video. My spouse and I just passed through these three parks in June 2024. The North Rim of the Grand Canyon receives less than 10% of the 4.5 million visitors that come to the overall park yet the North Rim is far superior to the South Rim. Zion should be avoided in the summer months. We drove into the east entrance of Zion for one mile and took pictures of the Checkerboard Mesa. From there, we scuttled back out to visit Bryce Canyon. On a per square foot basis, Bryce is the most beautiful of the parks.

    What's surprising in its' omission from this is Olympic NP, on the Washington State coast: it's like 3 complete parks, 65 miles of spectacular coastline, the only temperate rain forest in North America and the Olympic Mountains at its' center! Another item missing, in my opinion, is re: Glacier NP without reference to the companion Park across the border in Canada, Waterton Lakes NP. Its' a 3rd the size of Glacier, but it's stunningly beautiful . It's definitely worth a visit!in its' own right. In 1932, the 2 parks were combined via a treaty by the 2 countries as the World's first International Peace Park, to celebrate mutual respect between the 2

      @@vandalnonesuch8274 Yeah, well what they did miss is Mt Rainier National Park, perhaps one of the 5-10 most spectacular parks in the whole country! Mt Rainier was the 4th or so park to be designated, even. It was created in 1904, if I recall, making it one of the country's first national parks. I'd rank it far above Olympic as far as how stunning it is, though no forest parks besides Redwood National Park could compete with the old growth rainforests of Olympic, of course.
