What's on this DVD: Yosemite National Park
This DVD is a collection very RARE and fun footage Yosemite
National Park. We are very excited about this DVD because Yosemite is one of
our most favorite places on the planet. We collect old films and this is a DVD
that has some very rare footage of Yosemite from the 1930's to the 1940’s. If
you love Yosemite, you'll appreciate these old films.
1st Film: "History of Yosemite". This film was made around
1940, and it’s one of the first films in color about Yosemite and how Yosemite
was formed through the ice ages. The film starts off with entering Yosemite
through the tunnel. Following the exit, hope you notice at the viewpoint that
there are no trees in the way… Today, the trees have really grown in front of
the safety wall and block that view - what
a difference 70 years makes, right? Check out all of the features Yosemite had in
the 1940's. Runtime 17:48 Min's
2nd Film: "July 4th 1932 with Betty and Ben". This is a
fun old film! This film was done semi-professionally and features a lot of
great footage of Yosemite! Shows all of the falls - Yosemite Falls, Nevada
Falls, Ribbon Falls, Citadel Falls, Bridal-veil Falls, and more! On top of
that, we go along a trip with a very fun couple known as "Betty and
Ben". We follow them as they swim and feed animals (deer, squirrels, and
bears), unfortunately that is all illegal today. They also visit different
parts of Yosemite. It is obvious that these two liked each other and they
really enjoyed Yosemite, captured here in this film. Sound Track added by us. Runtime
10:04 Min's.
3rd Film: "Waters of Yosemite". This is a film on the
Waters of Yosemite. Part of the footage shows the famous "Water
Wheel" area. Wow! Really fun to see! Runtime 9:16 Min's.
4th Film: "4 Seasons of Yosemite". This is a film about
the four seasons of Yosemite. Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Great to see.
Runtime 10:47 Min's
5th Film: "Castle film Yosemite". This is a great film
on the activity in Yosemite throughout the 1940s. It shows Mirror Lake, Yosemite
Falls, Badger Pass, Inspiration point in winter and summer, Cross-country
skiing, feeding bears, The Ahwahnee Hotel, and more. Runtime 9:47 Min's
6th film: "Yosemite Newsreels". This is a collection of
6 newsreels on Yosemite National Parks. Typical old footage of Yosemite featuring
some really rare stuff, such as a film where four people are climbing the twin
peaks during 1920’s and 1930's. When you think about it, this is very scary stuff
considering they just had old ropes around their waists. Rock climbing has
really come a long way since then. Also features a camping experience in
Yosemite Valley. Amazing footage!!! Runtime 9:01 Min
7th Film: "Sky to Yosemite". The United Airlines created
this wonderful old color film showing highlights of Yosemite that was to offer
back in the 50's. This film ends with the renowned Yosemite Fire-falls footage
from Curry Village. Very Rare! Runtime
28:25 Min's
