Description
Explore the hidden beauty and history of America’s Southern Great Plains, from abandoned farmhouses to the vast Rita Blanca and Comanche National Grasslands.
Join us as we leave the crowds behind and venture into the overlooked landscapes east of the Rockies. This travel documentary captures a road trip through the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles and southeastern Colorado, revealing the raw, sweeping beauty of the national grasslands and forgotten small towns. Along the way, we uncover relics of the Dust Bowl era, encounter pronghorn in the wild, and reflect on the impact of World War II at Camp Amache - a site where Japanese Americans were unjustly interned.
You’ll get a photographer’s perspective on the unique light, textures, and stories of these rarely visited places, and learn about the ecological and historical significance of protected grasslands. From abandoned homes echoing the struggles of past generations, to the ancient dinosaur tracks at Pickett Wire Canyon, this journey offers a side of America most have never seen. Whether you’re seeking solitude, fascinated by American history, or looking for new photography locations, this episode brings the heartland’s untold stories to life.
