Our National Parks Where America's Wilderness Comes Alive They are a perennial theme, and they are breathtaking: OUR NATIONAL PARKS. Explore over 30 parks as never before in part I: SUNRISE TO SUNSET and Part II: THE FOUR SEASONS, where America's wilderness comes alive. In the burgeoning of more super highways, more sprawling housing developments, more shopping centers and more motels, these parks are our sanctuaries. They are reminders that such treasures should be preserved and enjoyed by all generations. SUNRISE TO SUNSET traces the sun's course, from the first hushed moments of dawn to dusk's final glow-we set out with the sun from Maine to Florida Everglades where the sun "flows over the land with the patience of honey." Such parks are not only havens for animals, but for people as well. The parks have changed people's lives. In THE FOUR SEASONS, a budding tree is transformed from a haven of green shade into a blaze of reds and gold into black, bare branches softened by snow. It is how we measure our days. Through the sun's waxing and waning and the seasons' transformations, all that inhabit the earth are touched and themselves changed. It is to this that OUR NATIONAL PARKS pays tribute.
