A Film by Ken Burns

The US national parks spring from an idea as uniquely American as the US Declaration of Independence and just as radical: that the most precious portions of the land should be preserved, not only for royalty or the rich, but for everyone, for all time. Here are the stories of those magnificent places and the unforgettable people who kept them from destruction—stories of struggle and conflict, stirring adventure and enduring inspiration, set against a backdrop of stunning beauty and grandeur.

The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, a six-episode series from acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns and writer and co-producer Dayton Duncan, is a breathtaking journey through the nation’s most spectacular landscapes and a celebration of the people—famous and unknown—who fought to save the parks for future generations to treasure.
