Grand Canyon Video Podcasts

While searching Google for Grand Canyon podcasts I came across a great site that has four VIDEO podcasts on the South Rim, in addition to several other video podcasts about other national parks. Check out the list of available podcasts at TRAVELBUDZ from ADVENTURE CROSSING. They also sell a variety of DVDs on their website. I plan to put the South Rim video podcasts on my iPod. They are EXCELLENT!

I emailed Adventure Crossing to ask permission to put a link to their podcasts, and I received this response from the president of the company, Jares Gallagher:
Our Video Podcasts are a spin off from what we do. Our company creates products to help prepare visitors for their national park adventures. We work with the Chief of Interpretation and othe park staff to capture their unique messages and features - so it is their messags we incorporate into our products. I mention this because we have created a product series entitled Park BasiX. It covers the basics you need to know as well we hike the trails so the viewer can see the trails first person and choose trails within their comfort zone.

We originally released our products on DVD format. However, in May we released all of our content for purchase and download for playback on mobile hand held devices such as Video iPods, etc. That website is

So if you're planning a visit to one of our national parks, be sure to check out this website.
