Reader's Digest really outdid themselves with `America's Most Scenic Drives'. Where else can you see so much of the beautiful United States without leaving your own living room? Practically nothing is left to the imagination with a 4 disc set covering 5 hours worth of material. There are plenty of special features also that make this set even more appealing. The first 3 discs contain maps of all the drives, a music video, a bonus program, and photo slide show. Each of these offerings is unique for each disc. The last disc is a 55 minute presentation called `America the Beautiful Music Tribute' and is 19 songs set to a picture montage that compliments our landmarks, citizens, and landscapes.
The video footage throughout these programs is quite distinct and it is all very nice to look at. The narration, in my opinion, was smoothly paced and not so loud that it detracted from background music. Also, the information described about all the visited locations is interesting in and of itself. Having the choice of either 2.0 Dolby or 5.1 surround sound was a nice option too.
I've seen other DVD sets on the market that contain similar material comparable to this but in a much smaller scale and without any bonus material to speak of. For the asking price and for what you receive, this Reader's Digest set is an excellent deal for sure. If you like programs like this one, this is highly recommended viewing.

This is a good introduction to many off the beaten paths of America. In fact, the real star of the show, asie from the ubiquitous red Ford Taurus, is the scenery of America itself. The camera and narrator takes the viewers to many places that have unique characteristics. Unfortunately there is no interaction with the locals so we do not get a truely complete coverage of each scene, but the point of the series is to give a "Reader's Digest" view of places people can visit.
But excellent photography and the knack for finding out of the way events are the hallmark of this series. Each "trip" is actually a roundabout path that is really serveral "family vacations" combined into a one hour program. This is a great cure for cabin fever in the midst of a winter snowstorm.

Warning: The first three discs are IDENTICAL to the America's Great Road Trips, and Scenic Drives discs (I don't mind because I always want a good backup) minus the Road Trips discs. I don't regret getting America's Most Senic Drives (even though they are repeats on the first 3 disks) as the bonus disk of America The Beautiful makes it worth while(which is real good, but has nothing to do with the popular attraction at Disneyland). I may not regret it, but you might.

I'm from Austria (Europe) and I love the USA, it's an great country with great people. So I just had to order that DVD.
It's really great, there are awesome landscapes shown with sometimes spectacular views.
So I just can recommend this DVD to anyone who loves the USA and would like to have an awesome movie about this great land.
Especially the Music Videos (I loved "Battle Hymn of the Republic") are very good!

Narration put me to sleep, too cliche. DVD wasn't quite what I expected. Some good video work but too much off highway photography. I was expecting more scenery as seen from the highway.
