THE STORY OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK

Yellowstone, first and last! First in wonders, natural wonders. And one of the last wildlife preserves in America.

"A celebration of life." - Library Journal

The world's first National Park is still one of the most popular. This video captures the wonders and the wildlife of Yellowstone. "Old Faithful," thundering waterfalls, hot springs, vast forest and dramatic wildlife action are captured here much the way early explorers found them.

Marvel at "Old Faithful" erupting, vast rolling forests, abundant wildlife, thundering waterfalls, gurgling hot springs and mud pots, and beautiful, haunting wilderness. Over 2.2 million acres located in the northwest corner of Wyoming, the great Yellowstone National Park was founded in 1872. The superb camera work of Dale Johnson and Bob Landis captures the natural wonders that captivated the early mountain men of the 1840's: petrified forests, mountains of glass and rivers that cooked fish. Thrill to rare and dramatic wildlife action: an antelope doe chasing a coyote from her young;a grizzly pursuing an elk in a life and death chase, a coyote matching wits with an otter, northern elk migrating in deep snow and bighorn sheep in mating battles. See the Yellowstone fire of 1988, and the charred land in full bloom. Ride with a park ranger into the back country. Enjoy a stagecoach ride to a sunset cookout. It's all here, the magic of the great Yellowstone.
