Juxtaposed with Costner’s active exploration of the park, each episode delves into the history behind the journey that changed America. “Once in a while, you come across a story that has that truly special mix of elements,” Costner says. “It’s stranger than fiction and happens against all odds. It results in something that legitimately changes the world for the good and, most importantly, it all really happened. The story of President Teddy Roosevelt and John Muir’s camping trip through Yosemite is one of those truly special ones, and I’m excited to dig into the next chapter of the preservation of the American frontier.”
