A pretty nice looking film which pretty much focuses on South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park, which really isn't my definition of Northwest, but anyways, it is mostly park travel, stopping at Mount Rushmore, which either was ABOUT to be completed or was being cleaned. Given the time period of this film, I would say the former. The film also has some very scary 'on the road' shots with big wide cars travelling on too small mountain roads. I love the smallish tunnels.. heck, I like tunnels in general!
