Grand Canyon: National Parks Collection

We live 2 hours south of the Grand Canyon and I love visiting it but have limited mobility so I am restricted from seeing a lot of the park. I love these videos- so much beauty and better pictures than I can take. The canyon is breathtaking and this video lets me see areas I can’t access.

I was very disappointed that this DVD did not have subtitles. Being deaf I have to read subtitles in order to hear and understand what's on the screen. For some reason, National Geographic has chosen not to include subtitles in any of the DVDs. I've purchased several DVDs from National Geographic and find that all of them are this way.If you're deaf or hard of hearing don't depend on subtitles in National Geographic's DVDs. You will be disappointed as I was. I will not purchase their DVDs in the future.

I got to keep my 7 year old grandson through the Covid pandemic. I bought about 15 sets of these National Geographic documentaries. I had him watch 1 a day and write a 6 sentence report about it. They are great! So much better for his development than the mindless nonsense of television.

What I did not like about the grand canyon is that I know I will not be able to see the canyon myself. I was able to learn about the canyon and I didn't know that there are Native American living there. I would love to go there and see these people in person.

I live in the UK and ordered this movie as a prelude to visiting the grand canyon in person for the second time (since I went some years ago).I have a home cinema system with a 100" projection screen. I therefore believed this DVD would look impressive. However I was a little disappointed by the picture quality but a lot more by the soundtrack which was poor quality.Although the scenery is impressive on the film, there is no soundtrack apart from music. This is it's main failing, since I was hard pressed to sit through 55 minutes of scenery, mixed in with closeups of flowers, wildlife and a steam train with no narative. This could have been hugely informative, with good shots of scenery but it needed a narrator to give history, background, facts and figures, geology etc etc. As it was, I turned it off after 40 minutes because the scenery, beautiful though it was, all started to look rather similar. THe program desperately needed some facts and figures to break it up.Overall I was disappointed and probably would not watch this DVD again. In any case it doesn't compare with the IMAX productions that are far superior, or to being there in person.

I ordered this DVD and a few others to plan my trip to the Grand Canyon. This DVD arrived from Finley-Holiday quickly and well packaged. Other DVD's I ordered from other companies were lost by the postal service and after 2 weeks had to be overnighted by Amazon Customer Service. The Images On this DVD are awesome and most of the background music is well fitted. This DVD was cheaper and better than the other DVD's I ordered. Its a nice way to spend 20 minutes.

This video consists of geology and history of what is known about the Grand Canyon. If you are looking for a "vacation" video of what to see and do during a visit, you should probably choose a different title. Very well put together with excellent video and narration. It didn't go in to depth on many topics, but raised a lot of questions about the current state of many issues at the Grand Canyon.

I just viewed this DVD and it is most worthwhile! Very informative and educational-one learns about the history of Grand Canyon, peoples from long ago, plants, and animal life. And what is being done to help and prolong the animal and bird life there. I highly recommend this!

spent a wonderful vacay to Las Vegas Nevada which included a day long visit to the Grand Canyon - WOW - glad to be able to purchase this dvd to look at & remember the wonderful sight!! - National Geographic always do a good job!
