LOOK: Classic Yellowstone (National Geographic)


Following on from the previous post, I just came across this photo gallery over on National Geographic of classic Yellowstone pictures from over the years that have featured in the magazine.


WATCH: Scenic National Parks - Yellowstone




Watch the rest here and be sure to watch them in HD! A bit cheesy in places, but I'll never get tired of seeing footage from Yellowstone.

Documentary: Yellowstone National Park


Check out this free hour long documentary on Yellowstone, from Image Entertainment.


This place is up there with Alaska, the National Parks of northern Sweden and Norway at the top of my list of places to visit in the near future. 

I've been spending more and more time on Google Earth pinpointing National Parks in the U.S. and here in Sweden and zooming in to look at the amazing pictures/videos pinned to various locations throughout each of the parks. If you've never been on Google Earth or have it and haven't used it properly, do a search for Yellowstone and then zoom in and be prepared for hours to pass by without even realising!
