Overview: Crossing the North American continent in a scant four hours, dawn settles on the Great Plains, the Rocky Mountains, and the coastal ranges and beaches of California before departing the western shore. We witness the geo-dramas of Yellowstone geysers, herds of horses and bison on the open range, the spectacular lighting of the Teton Range. Then in California, we see the massive sequoia, tule elk, a rainbow of wildflowers, the Yosemite Valley, and elephant seals on the beach. These are the great sunrise moments in nearly a dozen morning ecosystems of the west. Experience the best sunrises of the western United States, including the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, and the beaches of California. Sunrise, Nature's alarm clock for the land, the sea and the myriad of creatures who call our planet home. Accompany us on a tranquil high-definition journey into the landscape itself as we enjoy the sights and the ambient sounds associated with the first light of a new day dawning.
