Each volume in the Globe Trekker series of home video releases plunges travel hounds into the history, culture, scenery, and populace of an exciting locale by following an adventuresome travel guide as he sets off to experience the flavor of that area. Per its title, the release Globe Trekker: American Rockies journeys to the great Rocky Mountain region. Seasoned travel guide Ian Wright weaves his way through the badlands; the Bear Butte mountains; Deadwood, South Dakota; Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and Yellowstone National Park in northern California. Along the way, he samples Rocky Mountain oysters, crashes in a teepee, joins in a game of cards with some cowhands, and hits the open road on the back of a classic Harley-Davidson. Globe Trekker: American Rockies is perfect viewing material for those filled with wanderlust and hungry for a taste of the contemporary American west.
