Outdoors fun in Canada: just a bit too rushed for me May 6, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
It may be a bit too much to say that this DVD has all you can do outdoors in Canada, but it certainly shows a lot of things you can do along the way while you follow one of two paths (one for the summer -across the Rockies, heading to the west of the country- and one for the wintertime -heading towards Arctic Canada-) suggested in the DVD.
The landscapes and recommended trips are as amazing as Canada can be and each path has a different host with a great sense of humor. The one thing that bothered me about the overall package is that, in spite of the total of two hours of running time, it made me feel as if there was a rush to take the traveller through the adventure, which left me wanting some more footage and tips. I guess that can be obtained in the Canada book from the Eyewitness Guides series, but still I wouldn't give it five stars because of this.
