Scenes like Sylvan Lake, Needles rock formation and the majestic game lodge with buffalo grazing will be depicted.

The other side of the buffalo will showcase the wildlife that abounds the park, an eagle in flight, a buffalo lying down, bighorn sheep, pronghorn and a mountain lion will be featured.

The buffalo will be standing on a rock formation
