Really outstanding trip film here, showing all sorts of national parks, sites I've actually never seen before, along with familiar locales. Beautiful film stock here, along with ace cinematography really makes this one stand out. Best shots are Las Vegas, by far. I would say the 1st half is infinitely better than the second.. Nevertheless This is a MUST SEE on this site!
