Roads Through Majesty: A Journey to Yellowstone and Beyond (silent,1940s)

This vibrant amateur travelogue captures a mid-20th-century journey through the natural splendor of South Dakota and Yellowstone National Park. The silent color film highlights iconic landmarks like Mount Rushmore, shown either nearing completion or undergoing maintenance, and the majestic landscapes of Yellowstone. Viewers are treated to narrow mountain roads, charming tunnels, and the grandeur of the American West. Despite its title, the film focuses on areas better associated with the Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions rather than the traditional “Northwest.” A nostalgic exploration of America’s national parks and monuments, this film showcases the enduring beauty of the nation’s outdoor heritage.
