I have been drawn to Yellowstone since I was little. I finally made after making a bucket list after getting diagnosed with breast cancer and melanoma cancer. It was everything and more. I never wanted to leave. I can't explain it. I felt as if I was home. ❤️

When I finally got to visit The Park I was struck by the eye and then my heart. I love Yellowstone!

visited Yellowstone Grand Canyon ,Grand Tetons Bryce and Zion last year from UK it was and amazing 2 weeks loved it it was much better then i ever imagined

I have witnessed the beauty of Our Father's creation,the wonderment of colors,and wildlife that supports such wonderment. America the Beatiful. 😁

I visited yellow stone national park two years ago. It was incredible I was in awe of all the beauty.

Hauntingly beautiful!! We went 26 years ago and think of it all the time, its siren keeps calling to come back! My ashes will be spread there so to be there forever!

Thank you. I finally got to visit Yellowstone in 2002 with some dear friends for my 50th Birthday. It had been a lifelong dream to visit there and I was not disappointed. I love that place. Wish I could have stayed longer. A great happy memory.

In 1916, my grandmother, Beatrice Boedefeld, a newspaper reporter from Elkhart, Indiana, took a job for the summer with the Wylie Camping Company as a tent cabin attendant at the camp near Daisy Geyser. Her diary, rewritten as a narrative, is now in the computer archives of the Historical Society Museum in West Yellowstone. The Museum is located in the former Union Pacific Railroad depot. The diary gives a glimpse into life in the park in the last year that the US Army was in charge and the stage coaches were still in use. The next year was when the NPS was established and the yellow tour buses were brought in. Bea took a lot of photos and they were scanned into the diary by my sister, Marci Wahlquist.

I've been n Yellowstone it's like opening a story book . Absolutely breath taking . It's on my bucket list to return there .

I'm glad to watch and learn about the history Documents Of the American west.

Career in DC-loved to see Moran and Beirstadg paintings in National Gallery (free) didn't know what I was looking at fast forward 20 years went to Wyoming for 4 weeks and drove around . Came to the town of Moran and Cody and it all clicked those paintings I loved all those years were of our first National Park Yellowstone very special place must be seen

Wyoming such a beautiful state

Absolutely beautiful... So glad my friend Scott M. Brown introduced me to Yellowstone... Scott may you R.I.P.

This wonderful episode has refreshed how lucky I’ve been living my life west. Always loved outdoors. At 16 in 1967 I run from home for summer, lied and said I was 18 and got a job in Canyon Village at the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. Oh my such a summer at 16 year old boy!!! Had a lot of firsts there! Then in 1981 had the opportunity to work in another of most famous National Park the Grand Canyon work building on the school for the Supai Village. After watching this have I never felt so blessed working in the 2 top National Parks in America! And neither job was for the government, just private contractors. And a education that has done well ...

I personally have never visited Yellowstone but it must be an amazing sight to see.

Peter Coyote is one of the greatest narrators ever. Always love his work.

I'm a middle class American from California. In my 60's, and I've never been to Yellowstone. Everyone should see it before it ends up on a bucket list. Very interesting history here, and from an artists point of view.

Beautiful, love this video, thank you. If you have a chance and like rodeo, Cheyenne has Frontier Days. Usually 3rd week in July every year. Big Daddy of them all. (Rodeo). I took my 10y old and we had so much fun. I have family there so they showed us so much. Ski and snowmobile Tetons and Jackson Hole . This was one of most beautiful places and although winter it was wonderful. ♥️😘

MARVELOUS show! I was 9 yrs old in 1959, and we were there in July....back then there were TONS of bears all over the place. You could not go into the community restroom without a grizzly being inside and drinking from the commode. I saw it, I was there, it was real. I've heard now the bears have all been moved....but it was miraculous.. Thank you for taping and sharing this magnificent show.

I use it to help me sleep at night I love the narrator his voice is very soothing

Thomas Moran is a brilliant Artist.... superb use of light and in my opinion on par with Constable and Vermeer.... nothing but praise...

I went to the park two weeks ago and it was so worth it. 16 hour drive there and back

For 50 + years, wanted to go and planned on touring the NW when I retired. Disability got me before retirement. Eat desert first, nothing is for sure , about later :-(

Thank You for this History! Truly amazing!

I love this documentary on Thomas Moran. Love the history and enjoy painting. Just purchased an easel from the estate of the late Carroll Westfall who was an art restoration artist and on it he restored several Thomas Moran paintings. He is considered one of the best Hudson River valley School painters. Let’s all work to preserve these incredible parks for our future generations to enjoy!

Full filled a childhood dream by making it there this past summer. I will return again .. and again.. and again. Amazing!!

It is a great park and it would be unbelievable at the time!

I visited in 2003, loved it!

Yellow stone is beautiful

Very well put together

I'm a Californian, and I love the Yellowstone area, along with the Grand Tetons. I've been to Yellowstone more than Yosemite. Wonderful place. "God shed his grace on thee!"

What a beautiful place! Thank you

I see he has put a few Sasquatch in his paintings, in the rock formations, in mountains, sceneries, all cleverly placed discreetly. Has other enthusiasts seen those Sasquatch in paintings? Have also 'seen' many in photos ion various sites, even in my many photos that I took throughout Yukon and B.C., colours of rocks, mixed with snow, shapes of trees, snow, directions of everything in my videos, pictures, many faces that I see, entertains me and our vehicle trips am I the only one who see those faces that are so plain to me or not?!? Stan Peters (Beaver Creek, Yukon. )

Thank-you for this documentary. Makes me want to go even more. Once this COVID Crisis is over, I want to visit from Australia.

Fine documentary! Thanks!

I remember the 1988 fires! I was a little kid. We could see the smoke from Minnesota. The sun was yellow. Mom wanted us to come inside and not breathe it in.

Very interesting, enjoyed, thank you.

Thank you for sharing ! So rich...

Thank you. Most thanks to Mr. Moran. I appreciate all of the businesses that turn pictures into post cards.

those paintings are incredible

2015 I took my dream trip. I spent 3 months camping from Oklahoma to Idaho. Then all the way back home to South Carolina I am 72 now and would love to do it again. 🙃

Bravo. To all, involved in this production. Truly.

Yellowstone is stunning. I went there a couple years ago. My favorite things were when my girlfriend and I went off the main spots. Don't get me wrong, the main attractions there and beautiful and stunning. There is something to discovering your own spot. Even barely off the main drags. It's kind of disconcerting the amount of car traffic there for the individual but I understand that lots of other people also want to see the stuff you want to see. Never saw so many Japanese people in my life though! lol. I had no idea how much of a draw the park has there.

From a Colorado native I like Wyoming way better and wished I lived there

Greatest national park nature ever made.

What a great documentary!

This was just wonderful!!! Have been to YNP many times and worked at GTNP in the 80’s..Have just never gotten over “Teton Fever”!!!

Beautiful Thank You

loved this video- had no prior knowledge of the history of the artistry- this was an awesome upload- thank you so much for posting it! :)

Brilliant documentary

Dropping loads !!!! On Wyoming.

That is only his opinion. Bierstadt was a phenomenal painter. If you go the Haggin Museum in Stockton, California they have an impressive collection of Albert Bierstadt paintings. The Domes of Yosemite painting went on national tour in the 19th century. It was an epic event.

Professor Joni Kinsey sounds exactly like Sharon Stone when she speaks!!

Dig it. Good job. Great video. Thank you

ARTS IN THE PARK I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THANK YOPU SO MUCH .

Sixteen years of working and painting of the Yellowstone National Park

Love Thomas Moran art. He did this incredible thing with light, that is ravishingly beautiful.

Narrated by Peter Coyote, one of the best in the business

May have to scratch my head a bit, but think I used the same title for a 2nd grade book report. Yessir, first trip to Yellowstone they said I was 3. Now my teachers and parents could all agree wasn't very bright, but ever there was a book report or show-n-tell, had to retell my fractured memories a that first trip. Been to Yellowstone 8 times overall. Now that ain't much for all those with brand new RV's, campers and lifetime eagle passes, but how many got there hitch-hiking (x3) all the way from Detroit, MI. Once or more for practically every decade of my life. One time right after High School with a group of pals who wanted to see if it was all that. Another time for college credit doing winter-kill stats. Yessir, been drawn to Yellowstone. Last time got to go there with my grand-daughter same as I dragged her mom there kickin' n screamin' . Lucky her mom thought to invite me at the last minute.

11.12.2022.Very good and best.

Imagine the first expiditions how fun that would be

Great video!

If you have not been..... put this on the top of your bucket list.....and, less than 30 miles away is Henry's Fork. Some of the finest trout fishing in America and still very wild. The grizz has finally made it to the Fork so ....keep your head on a swivel.

I'm lucky I got to go, all that volcanic activity makes for some amazing tales

I went a couple of days b4 the big fire then about 6 yrs after.. even though the devistated desature that caused it was amazing how mother nature had started repairing it... Got to see every animal there for the exception of the wolves.. but rare to see l also got to see a momma bear and her cubs.. anyone wanting a breath taking vacation you couldn't go wrong

Peter Coyote is a great narrator.

I was in Yellowstone in 1988 at the lodge waiting for Old Faithful to erupt when park rangers came in and told us we had to leave the park as the fire was threatening the area. We tried several ways to get out to the south towards Jackson, but those roads were blocked. We finally found our way out up north to Gardiner and arrived very late with everything closed and with nothing to eat or drink all day. We in the car in heavy smoke just north of Gardiner by the river. The activity in the park was like a war zone with helicopters flying above and truck loads of firefighters rushing to new threatened areas. Trying to drive out, the wildlife was a hazard as it rushed across the road trying to find safety. We finally got to a restaurant in Livingston, but the smoke followed us all the way. We ended the day near Polson at a friend's place on the Flathead Lake.

🐾🐾🐻🇫🇮 Moi. Hyvä video.

I love this video

Enjoyed this interesting 😳👍

Excellent documentary! I recommend you do or documentaries on the history of your state I’ll put together…

Thank you

I don't know specifically why I'm watching this, but it's very interesting as an artist

Thank you 😊

"As you wind ( pronounced when-d ) your way through it." Favorite quote from this educational? video.

Super documentary, thankyou. Quite inspiring. Gave me some ideas about how to approach landscape art.

Beautiful country

Good stuff

Good stuff!

HI Cam ,firstly i love your videos and your attitude to life ,and i agree if youve got nothing nice to say dont say anything.Cheers from England,youll love where im from....Worcestershire...Good luck with that.....xx

Very cool.

I always think of the saying 'there's gold in them hills' looking at some of Thomas Moran art

I was there in 2006, it was so wonderful!!! This painting is of Artist’s Paint Point canyon!!!!

Peter Coyote is arguably the best actor to master three medium. His seminal role as Yusef in the 1971 stage production of Jesus Christ Superstar in Bremen widely regarded by theatre buffs as legendary. He went on from there to star in over 200 TV and cinema productions. He is best known for his unique portrayal of Thaddeus in the 1984 film Children of the Corn 3 Pops Secret.

These are real adventures

How do people give this video a thumbs down..The video is very informative and Illustrated 👍🏼

At the time no one really knew that Yellowstone was one of the largest volcanos of the world. The landscape looked completely different 600,000 years earlier.

Spent a week there with three photo club friends. One of the friends won the grand prize for Unilever's , " Your picture of America" photo contest that became a 2000 Millennium edition National Park calendar. . The grand prize was a all expense paid trip ,for four , for a week to Yellow Stone . She also won one of the , 1st place shots for a new camera out fit ! One of the other friends she took along also won one of the 1st place shots...she too got a new camera outfit. It's a amazing place....I had no problem shooting 100 rolls of 36 ex. color slide film and 50 rolls of Ilford B+W... Their winning shots were from Yosemite Nation Park, a photo trip they took the year before.

That's not a bear btw it's actually supposed to be a sasquatch, Moran knew of there existence, I bet if he was still alive today he'd probably be able to tell us some valuable info on the matter.

With my favorite narrator, Peter Coyote

Ask the Park Service for a list of the missing people and see what they say

I haven't heard that narrator in a long time. I think that's Peter Coyote. Opening picture for this video is amazing because it's all yellow on the sides shows you how much sulfur is in the area from the eruptions. I hope we are a better species for our sake when it goes off again. It will wipe us out as we know it!

"That one man might plant himself at the entrance to the park and charge admission." And that man was Uncle Sam.

That one man charging to get in the park is named Uncke Sam !!!!

There is always a reason for everything we do. God's creation and a created purpose. Not a coincidence. God's Colored Masterpieces.

Great video and I love Coyote’s narration.

I find it telling that the First nations chief has a piece of jewelry of a sword in the Persian style around his neck @ 25:23.

How about all the missing people? Should be mentioned,i think?

I imagine it's absolutely beautiful but they don't realize they're walking right on top of a live volcano

AMERICA IS REALLY VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL N AWESOME PLACE ON THIS PLANET ESPECIALLY TEXAS UTAH MONUMENT VALLEY I WISH I WAS BORN THERE I LOVE THE WILD WEST COWBOYS THATS MY TYPE OF LIFE I WANTED TO LIVE
