The National Parks: America's Best Idea

Writer and historian Wallace Stegner called national parks "the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst."

Watch Ken Burn's six-episode documentary, The National Parks: America's Best Idea, every night this week on your PBS station: http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/

These are some of "my" national parks that I have already visited (at least once) . . . .
