The 1872 birth of the world's first national park
In short: Explore the geological and biological majesty of Yellowstone. This documentary captures the park's iconic geothermal wonders and diverse wildlife using high-end filmmaking equipment to showcase one of the most significant conservation landmarks on Earth.
President Ulysses S. Grant signed the legislation on 1 March 1872. As the initial national park globally and within America, Yellowstone remains a unique landmark. Located primarily in northwestern Wyoming, with portions in Montana and Idaho, the park is a cornerstone of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
The landscape is defined by its geothermal features, most notably the Old Faithful geyser. While the park encompasses various biomes, the subalpine forest remains the most abundant. The footage highlights these unique environments, from the park's famous hot springs to its vast wildlife habitats.
