USA TODAY presents the trailer release for National Parks Adventure, the upcoming 3-D IMAX film celebrating our nation's parks. You definitely want to view this full-screen.

National Parks Adventure hits IMAX and large-screen theaters February 12, 2016, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service.

Director Greg MacGillivray takes viewers on a trek through more than 30 national parks with special IMAX cameras, time-lapse cameras and helicopter cameras — anything it takes to get that perfect shot.

The film follows world-class mountaineer Conrad Anker, his adventure photographer stepson Max Lowe and artist Rachel Pohl as they rock climb, mountain climb and hike through Utah's Arches, Canyonlands and Zion national parks.

Naturally, the film also covers Yellowstone, the Everglades, the Redwoods and the Grand Canyon. But National Parks Adventure also showcases relatively undiscovered gems such as the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in upper Michigan.

Actor and environmentalist Robert Redford narrates the film.

MacGillivray is still on the road gathering more stunning shots to add to the already impressive film collection. His technique?

"The big thing about this kind of photography, as Ansel Adams would tell you, is patience," says MacGillivray. "You have to get to the place and figure out what kind of shot you want. And then you wait for the lighting, the clouds and all the conditions to be right. Sometimes it comes and sometimes it doesn't."
