Informative but a bit dull
Great value if you take the time to understand the background about each national monument but frankly not all the monuments are very interesting or spectacular

Very nice collection, but limited
We enjoyed the scenes that were shown but wish that it had more. There are many more national monuments that could have been included. Is there perhaps another volume to this set?

AMERICA'S NATIONAL TREASURES Blu-ray Disc
I thought I did a review on this one. Evidently, I failed to say America's National Treasure is a Great video set.Information combined with great scenery. I placed a second order, after watching it. The second order was for giftsfor Christmas. Seven hours of great entertainment for under ten dollars. A magazine off a rack cost almost that much.In my opinion, this is better then many National Geographic sets, and they cost more. Watch it and donate it to yourlocal library, if you think you can not watch it again. It is like visiting the parks and history is added. Looks great on big screen.Larry

The title says it all.
Every since getting my first Blu-Ray player and HD-TV I've been collecting travel videos from all over. This 2-disk set gives you a great whirlwind tour of some fantastic places. I really enjoyed the Devil's Tower, brought back memories of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (another good video, though fictional). What makes this video particularly interesting for me is the focus on history, one of my all-tie favorite subjects. You'll get a great tour of many fantastic places, bringing early American history to life. It also touches on geology, Native American heritage, Biodiversity, and so much more. I hope to buy many more of this series as time and money allow.

Better than I expected.
These were an inexpensive way for me to try out my new Blu-ray player which I know would be playing my existing DVDs most of the time.They don't have quite the "polish" of a National Geographic special, but I think that works to their advantage. I didn't feel quite so emotionally led by the nose through all the great scenery. The info about the geological origins and subsequent history of these landmarks is presented in a no-nonsense fashion by people who are not Hollywood actors trying to show off. I think I bought several discs in this series and was surprised by how many hours it takes to go through them all. You definitely can't watch them all in one sitting (I tried).

We all need to see more of these DVD's
I first viewed part of this DVD at my father in laws. I had forgotten about it till he recently passed and I was going through some of has belongings. I saw a book he had about national treasures and it reminded me I had started this DVD but not completed it. It set me out on a mission to once again find it and watch it. Since obtaining it I have watched it three times and will probably watch it a lot more, Thanks so much for showing these true "Treasure;s.

A National Treasure.
I am thoroughly enjoying watching this series. It is like taking a tour - the commentators are park guides, all very enthusiastic about their jobs at the National Monuments. Scientists and historians are also interviewed - giving solid information about the sites. As an Australian, who has enjoyed travel and especially the USA, I found myself learning more about American history, geography and culture from this informative and well photographed series. Do not expect action thrills and chills, but it is a great Blu Ray to teach the kids, and yourselves more about the USA, and the American heritage the citizens and tourists can enjoy.

Lots of dirt and rocks
Unless you are into desert-like and rugged landscapes, this may not be the film for you. I prefer greenery; I was hoping to see beautiful scenery. But most of this blu ray contained dry, rocky landscapes and sparse vegetation. Lots of dirt and rocks, that's for sure. Some caves.It did have a segment on Muir Woods which I thought was astoundingly wonderful. After that one, it went right back to rocky, dry, desolate landscapes. Some people enjoy this sort of thing, I don't. Looking at all those dry, hot landscapes, one after another, it just wasn't what I had hoped for. For all the beauty that America offers, why did they choose these?
