Description
Explore Yellowstone in all its natural wonder, from spouting geysers to forests teeming with wildlife.
Yellowstone: first national park in the world and one of its greatest wildlife preserves. This immense forest sprawls across 2.2 million acres of land that features erupting geysers, thundering waterfalls, gurgling hot springs and incredibly diverse wildlife. A grizzly bear chases an elk in a life-or-death pursuit. An antelope doe chases a coyote away from her young. Bighorn sheep butt heads in angry combat. We also see the great fire of 1988, and how devastation gave way to new growth.
Go on a guided tour with park rangers into the back country, or take a fun stagecoach ride to an early-morning cookout. Most of all, absorb the wondrous natural beauty that exists so abundantly in one of our most popular national parks.
Recreation
See the remarkable Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, with its upper and lower falls. The park is a great place for cross-country skiing, horseback riding, and fishing. Grand Teton National Park (about an hour's drive south of Yellowstone) offers more recreational opportunities, as well as that famous mecca for winter sports - Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Pop Culture
Includes Wiley E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, President Roosevelt's visit to Yellowstone, Smokey the Bear, a movie clip, and words of wisdom from Hopalong Cassidy.
Wolves
After being wiped out by hunters, wolves have returned to Yellowstone. See them roam in their natural habitat - hunting, playing, and howling!
Music
Relax to the soothing 'Serenade at Yellowstone' - a montage of beautiful images from the park, accompanied by classical music selections from the world's greatest composers.
Park Extras
