Description: Content advisory: A mock "frontier" town appropriates native housing styles in the form of tipis, together with other mock elements forming a tourist trap.

The geology of the Rocky Mountains is brilliantly displayed among other places, as a couple take a road trip through the upper middle west and western states. They visit the Black Hills region, the high Rockies, and surrounding plains with view of Bison grazing and Pronghorn and deer roaming around fenced plains. Also with signage interpreting the new Interstate Highway System on I-25.
