I took a week long, 4500 mile road trip out west in March. We hiked all day and I drove all night, only slept 3-4 hrs at most every night thru the entire trip but it was absolutely amazing.. this film comes close but still does not due it justice. God I miss being out west! If any of you are ever out by Glennwood Canyon in CO you really need to see hike up to Hanging Lake, its beautiful.. esp during a blizzard in March ;-)

Some nice pictures, but not much at all on facts. The description is misleading as to the actual content. Visually I'd give this 5 stars. But I was expecting to learn a couple of things and that just didn't happen.

Absolutely ridiculous visuals...make you feel like a true adventurer. There's not much of a story really, just kinda jumping around about different people using diary excerpts like the pioneer, the indian, the chinese immigrant, etc. You won't learn anything you probably already didn't know

But beautifully made. Watch it for that at least.

Long on romance, short on history. There were a few interesting catchphrases here and there from the narrator that made it sound like they might have been trying to make a point, but anything salient was lost in the excessive numbers of flyover vistas and painfully cliche music. If they'd tossed about 50% of the "ooh! scenery!" moments, they might have been able to fit in something worthwhile or educational. As it is, it does nothing but propagate the romantic myth of the West with no grounding in reality, either past or present.

Visually nice, but generic. 4th grade level history at best. In fact, I do recommend it for elementary student viewing.

Mostly opinions with no direction. Best to watch with the sound off.
