Yellowstone is one of my favorite places to visit. I hope I'm dead before the supervolcano blows, though...

Looks awesome! Never been there, guess I should go some day.

Having grown up near Yellowstone I've seen it in all seasons and I sincerely hope they provide lots of stunning winter shots. The ice structures formed near and around the geysers are incredible!

I got to see some grizzlies at Yellowstone a couple of years back. It was a powerful sight! I think everyone should visit.

I've been trying to hit the national parks over the last few years, but Yellowstone keeps getting put off. Glacier is probably next while it still has, you know, glaciers. Some day, Yellowstone.

Yellowstone is the first national park I visited as a child in the early 70's and I have been there several times since. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Over the years its resources and wildlife have been stressed by the huge number of visitors, but some stress must be allowed so that visitors can, in fact, enjoy God's beautiful creatation. I hope we are able to keep that balance.

I would LOVE to win this, Yellowstone is a future destination for my family and me.

Beautiful pictures... I'm sure the DVD would be amazing.

Yellowstone has been on my wish list for a long time. I'd love to win this DVD

One of my all time favorite National Parks. I hope it sticks around for a while. Because although it looks like a wonderful documentary, I'd hate for it to be the only way to view the Park's splendor in years to come.

wow really looks beautiful

Nice pictures. I especially like to see the Yellowstone wildlife.

I've never been to Yellowstone so I appreciated the pictures. They were really beautiful. I particularly liked Mountain Shadows.

Looks great!

Wow, the images are breathtaking! I can't wait to see this.

Super photos. Yellowstone is an absolutely spectacular and fascinating place. It's a real privilege to spend time there.

I have always wanted to go there, and plan on visiting in 2012!

i'd love to win this, i've never been to yellowstone

I love programs about nature and science. This one looks particularly good. Thank you for the chance to win.

Haven't been there since I was a child. That was just after the great fire. I'd love to see the film to bring back some memories.

I would love to see what Yellowstone has to offer. I have never been there, but would love to go someday.

I have always wanted to go here I will make it one day.

Had my first visit to Yellowstone last winter and was lucky enough to see a wolf.

Thanks to my mom, my family and I have visited this beautiful wonder. I live in the South East and it is unlike
anything I have ever seen. My mom now spends every summer working in the Grand Tetons. She travels home to North Carolina for the winters and to be with her grandchildren. I have seen the many gifts of scenic nature that it has too offer. I have heard about the infamous grizzly #399 and her cubs and wonder if the mom and cubs in this special are those babies?
If anyone knows can you shed the light.

I think Yellowstone is easily the most recognizable of all our national parks. We have yet to go there, but I have looked at many majestic pictures and have read many interesting stories of Yellowstone, including historical pieces.

This contest would be such a great thing to win. The knowledge thats offered is endless.

This looks amazing. I haven't been to Yellowstone in a loooong time and would love to go back.

I would love to win this. I have never been to Yellowstone but we are planning a vacation for this Spring and it is on our list. I would like to know everything I can about it before we visit so I can have a true appreciation for what we are going to see.

I would love to win this. My family has never been to Yellowstone but I really enjoy teaching my son about the environment and changes around the world. This DVD would make an excellent addition to our collection. Thank you for the chance to win it. :)

I visited there as a kid and have fond memories of it. I want to go back again

This would make a wonderful gift for my husband (and me!).

yellowstone is an awesome place , i would love to see this

I have always wanted to go to Yellowstone and still have never saw it in person.I do hope to one day!I would love 1 of these..thank you..

I can't wait to make it out there some day. Should you not win the DVD, be sure to check out the recent series "The National Parks" on PBS. It's an all around amazing series and it details the work it took to preserve this and other amazing places.

My brother visited last year and his pictures were amazing. This will be one of my next trips!
