Virtual Tour of Yellowstone National Park

In conjunction with the upcoming release of Ken Burns’ PBS special on America’s National Parks, entitled The National Parks – America’s Best Idea, we will be featuring an 8 part virtual tour of Yellowstone National Park.

At Austin-Lehman Adventures, we live, work and play in Yellowstone Park. Over the years we’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of Yellowstone Vacations and we want to share with you exactly what this national park has to offer.

Yellowstone National Park was established in 1872 by the US Congress, “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People”, during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant. The park consists of over 2 million acres of preserved paradise and is located primarily in the northwest corner of Wyoming, however it also extends into Montana and Idaho.

When visiting Yellowstone you’ll see thermal features (over 10,000 total)  including erupting geysers, crystal clear hot springs and bubbling mudpots. You’ll see wildlife in their natural settings such as bison, bears, moose, eagles and wolves. This region has remained virtually unchanged since it was established and you will certainly appreciate its history.

Links to each section of the virtual tour will be posted below as the tour progresses. For now, please click on the image below to watch the trailer for The National Parks – America’s Best Idea.
