Treasures of America's National Parks: Yellowstone

$9 is a bargain for 6 discs. A lot information, Most of them are good, some are just okay.It is in 1:85 or 1:77 aspect ratio not 1:33 as Amazon described. That's a great plus. Video quality is good in general but not fantastic HD quality as they claim.A lot marketing talks about the local hotels and restaurants. Most of them are upscale and quite expensive. Wish it would also tell us other less costly alternatives for budget minded retirees like us.We have visited most of the national parks featured in the video. It gives viewers a good highlights of each parks. It will definitely inspire you to visit all these places but it is hardly a complete tourist guide. Research on line and do some home work before you go on trip.

I love this set of DVD's the scenery is breathtakingly spectacular alot of fun , it feels like I'm along for the journey I'm hoping one day I will be , taking a tour of Zion at least I'll be living near there soon 😊

If you want a recent DVD that really covers this beautiful place like a blanket, this is it. Beautiful overhead shots from helicopters, in all seasons. Closeup pictures of wildlife and wildflowers. Quick interviews with real park visitors and park rangers. Nice shots of the major lodging facilities in the park. A little about the fun stuff to do just outside the park (snomobiling in the winter) as well as inside (swimming in the swimming hole, fishing, horseback riding, sightseeing, wildlife viewing...).I wanted it to help me plan an upcoming trip. If you can not go to Yellowstone, this video will make you feel as if you have been there. Wow!There is also a bonus video about Grand Teton National Park, the breathtaking smaller park just South of Yellowstone.

There are MANY available DVDs on Yellowstone, and after narrowing it down I can say that this one is superior. There are no corners cut in making this film. The photography is stellar. And there are TWO films on this disc: an hour of Yellowstone and an hour of the Grand Tetons (with an emphasis on wildlife, rock climbing, and winter sports, including pretty cool stuff about avalanche rescues). I wanted these for the scenery, and it does deliver! the wildlife footage is amazing and they include shots of Yellowstone features that you don't see on the main tourist loop. Just watching it makes me want to go back and see all the things I didn't even know I had missed.

I always seem to want to rate things with a half. I gave this a 5, but to me it's really a 4.5. I've been to many if not most of the parks, but there's always more I don't know about them and I enjoy watching when I can't be there, which is most of the time. I disliked as much time as they spent on the Canadian and Alaskan parks, partly because they don't interest me as much, partly because they aren't very accessible and would be difficult for me to visit or explore. Still, overall very good, both content and production.

An excellent introduction to Yellowstone, its major features, and what you can expect to see on a first visit. The variety of geological features, wildlife, etc., is mind-boggling! Also some great background on the Park's origins, pioneers, etc. Before my trip to Italy, I viewed Rick Steves' videos of that country and they were a great help. I really knew what I'd see, what to expect, what the various places actually looked like. This Yellowstone video has given me the same experience regarding my trip to that National Park.

I grew up in the parks and to see such beauty always brings me back to my childhood. Makes me think,.....was this like it was when our planet was new? get this or go visit our parks, take nothing except photos and leave nothing but footprints,...and then just maybe it will change your life for the better!!

Truly one of the best documentaries I've ever watched till now.Filmed in high quality, interesting and has everything I love; nature, details about each place, lodges to stay in, sense of the culture of each area. Very very happy with this set.And the extras are very interesting as well; i.e. extreme maintenance of the parks and behind the scenes.

nice to have a preview of what your holiday is hopefully going to be like.we enjoyed the dvds anyway, very well done
