It's a famous photo: President Theodore Roosevelt and John Muir are posed together on the overlook at Glacier Point in 1903. Roosevelt stares directly at the camera, looking like he wants to bust a bronco and play a polo match at the same time. Muir, dressed like a well-heeled hobo, gazes off toward the mountains. It was during this three-night camping trip in Yosemite that Muir persuaded Roosevelt that his beloved Yosemite should be a national park -- protected and managed by the federal government for all Americans.
It's amazing just how much you can discover in the next town. This show is designed to help Americans rediscover the exciting, diverse and picturesque travel options in our own 50 states while the power of the Web will give international visitors the chance to experience America in a whole new way.
