Vintage Yellowstone: The World's First National Park - Full Vintage Documentary

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Wonderful documentary. I went to Yellowstone in 1989, a year after the great fire of `88. It burned more than a million acres. However, there was much of the park that was left untouched. Today, it's difficult to see the moonscapes that appeared when I went in 89. Yellowstone is an amazingly beautiful place. I hope to visit there again soon as my kids live in the southern part of Montana, near the north border of the park. If I had 2 lifetimes I probably wouldn't be able to see all there is to that wonderful, magical place.

Thanks to conservation efforts, the grizzly bear’s numbers have increased from 200, when this documentary was made, to about 728 today. They’ve increased their habitat by roughly 50%. That is an amazing and awesome thing to know.

[@oleggorky906]

Seeing as they are territorial that will mean that gradually they will spread out into other states. But will they still be protected then?

[@FireHoleAngler]

I’ve been working in Yellowstone these past couple summers. I’ll be joining NPS for the first time this year. It truly is an incredible place to work and live there.

[@tammydeboard6537]

I just found this documentary and it's great. Even though it's a little old it is still good. I love watching wildlife. My favorite is bear cubs. The first year ones. They are so little and trying to keep up with mama bear while trying not to get in trouble. I could watch them all day. Thank you for sharing. Just beautiful.

[@GoTraveler]

Thanks for sharing, Tammy! Glad you enjoyed it.

try working there. I did at Old Faithful and it was THE best winter of my life. yup, i worked at the snow lodge snack shop in winter in 2008 at age 23. it was ghostly but beautiful.

[@longrider42]

As for when this was shot, I suspect at the most two years after the fires of 88. No mention of the re-introduction of the wolf. Also, Yellowstone Lodge was almost lost in the fires of 88. But a shift in the wind is all that saved it. I worked in Yellowstone the summers of 85, 91 and 95. It is a wonderful place.

[@eriklarson9137]

@@grizzlycountry1030 do you think that is when it was filmed?

[@mikiboy1]

my guess-based on the cars and the style of clothes that people were wearing-is that this was filmed in the early 70’s

[@andybaldman]

Mid to late 80's is correct, per the cars at around the 15 min mark.

[@toddjacobs5660]

Back in the 70's i was like 13, me my parents bro n 2 sisters went & saw Old Faithful , my parents owned 5 acres of land in Cripplecreek Colorado, saw Mt.Rushmore, done the loop basically, im 53 yrs old now, somthing i wont ever forget..at the time i was from Rockfalls , Illinois ....

We had this on VHS as part of a 3-tape series in the late 80s, early 90s. I think the other two tapes were the Grand Canyon and Yosemite. We watched them all the time. Thanks for posting! (I have since found the other two on your page... thanks again)

[@sarahanncatania4617]

Hey, thanks for posting this video. I love the BBC documentary films about wildlife and nature, but this one is awesome. It reminds me of when I was kid watching shows like this on pbs. My mom couldnt pull me away from tv when I was watching shows like this. The older style of the video brings back nice memories, without a British accent. (No offense British) I do love BBC. Classic narrative that seems to be long gone. There is a young guy on youtube who has a wonderful voice, and he has the ability for older film narration and story telling that sounds so nostalgic. Thanks again.

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Wow, looks so amazing I wish I could visit. nice video and I enjoyed it. thanks for sharing

[@carolv8450]

It is amazing. Old faithful is neat. Some places are very touristy, but it is a bucket list place to visit.

[@paramedic1026]

If we all would take this time to learn about our animals and there habitat instead of killing them this would be a great world. Thank you for this experience and beautiful art.

[@Paul_Yates]

I love these vintage documentaries, Yellowstone is magical. Authorities should also ban Wolf hunting there again.

[@wildearth8134]

It’s the worst because no wolves there and the park was dying!

Ah yes, Critter Jams. Also when I worked in Yellowstone, I found you you can ride a Mountain Bike through a buffalo herd. I did it, several times. I so want to go back, for a long visit. Great documentary thanks for posting it.

Awesome & Lovely Filmed & Edited Video's ! ! ! 5 thumbs up

[@twstf8905]

Hard to believe this was released in 2001 lol it looks more like something that was shot and produced in the early 80's, if not late 70's, judging by the overall resolution quality and score. Not to mention the wardrobe styles and vehicles of the people within lol looking like the Griswald family Yellowstone trip by National Lampoons! 🤣 (Before their Wally World or European vacations!) Something my first grade teacher would put on in class when she had a hangover in 1982.

This is just the DVD. I remember the documentary aired on pbs around 1991 or so.

[@justineiler6555]

If you watch the whole documentary they talk about the 1988 fires, and show parts of the park one year later. So anyone with questions on date of the documentary it is no older than 1989.

There is a bill in Congress right now that says all the National Parks are to be put up for sale to the highest bidder.

Shotgun Pete - There you go again, relying on a heavily fragmented poorly equipped disc for information...assuming dogmatically, instead of asking someone first.

[@justplainbrad7713]

Gold was discovered on Indian Land in 1877, and by 1900, the once 15,000,000 strong buffalo herd, was down to a couple of hundred animals. Do you think the authors of this video want everyone to remember who nearly destroyed the buffalo, and why? This was made, not to show american imperialism, rather to show the conservational qualities of the nation. By 1889, government reservations were the only place you would find Indians.
