5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, October 21, 1999

This review is from: Yosemite:Fate of Heaven [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A wonderful film. The best I've ever seen about the Park. A must see before a visit or after a visit. The final shots of Carl Sharsmith in the snow brought tears to my eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The dilemmas within our most beloved NP., October 10, 1999

This review is from: Yosemite:Fate of Heaven [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A rare find: beauty, controversy, and literary history of California's YNP. Footage of the grandfather of the National Park Service, Dr. Carl Sharsmith, who, recently deceased, brought to thousands the magic of this park; Ranger Ferdinand's long history as kiosk suprvisor of Tuolumne entrance; and other great past and present personalities highlighting the wise approach to operating a NP. Fine excerpts of Lafayette Bunnell's diary of the meeting of Chief Tenaya with the first white men to discover Yosemite. Hosted by the Yosemite Association and Sundance Films. This is an important gem!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent documentary on Yosemite National Park., June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yosemite:Fate of Heaven [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Visually appealing, very well-made and interesting documentary about Yosemite National Park, with strong historical background and discussion of the future of the park. The impact of 4 million visitors a year is examined. Robert Redford narrates and directs. One hour.
