The latest entry in Bennett-Watt's excellent series of high-def video travelogues focuses on several of California's National Parks and Monuments—namely Yosemite, Sequoia, King's Canyon, Devil's Postpile, and Carrizo Plain. Yosemite is renowned for Yosemite Falls, among other sights, which boasts a vertical drop of more than 2,400 feet, making it one of the biggest waterfalls in North America and among the top five in the world. Viewers will also see the last natural stand of Sequoia trees in Sequoia National Park, including the General Sherman, which is more than 2,000 years old and has a base measuring 109 feet around. And the Devil's Postpile National Monument features striking columnar formations of basalt that reach heights of 60 feet. Sure to appeal to armchair travelers, this is highly recommended. Aud: P. (C.
