After watching Unbranded... I noticed that some of the scene's when the group of boys got to YellowStone (IDK if they were in National Park) the backgrounds and sceens look a lot like they did in Spirit... So could it be Spirit was in YellowStone park?

Hi!

Yes, it's possible that certain scenes may have taken place in the area that now is Yellowstone Park (which is primarily in Wyoming state, but also stretches into Montana (to the north, generally) and Idaho (to the northwest).

For sure, there are many facts and landmarks in the film which indicate the situation of particular scenes:

1. The Grand Canyon (through which the Cavalry soldiers chase Spirit and Little Creek).
The Grand Canyon is in Arizona, which lies quite a long way south of Yellowstone Park.

2. The Lakota Village.
According to Wikipedia, the attack made on the Lakota village by the Cavalry was part of the Battle of Washita River, which took place in Oklahoma.

3. The Cimarron River, which Spirit's herd lives by and is named after.
The river runs (to quote Wikipedia) '' . . . across New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas . . . '', four states south-west of Y.S. Park, but quite close it it. It is unknown which part of the river Spirit's herd lives near, however.

4. The railroad.
The track that was being built in the film was the 'Transcontinental Railroad', which was apparently heading towards Nebraska. According to a map (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overland_Limited_(UP_train)#/media/File :The_Overland_Route_1908_Map.jpg), the railroad ran from San Fransisco, California, reaching Nebraska by cutting through Nevada and Wyoming - so indeed, in the film, Spirit and the other horses could be pulling the train through what now is Yellowstone Park, Wyoming.

5. The geysers.
The geysers which show in the beginning of the film (where there's a birds-eye-view of a herd of buffalo). Yellowstone has a LOT of geysers, so again, that could have been Yellowstone.

There are probably even more little things in the film, indication probable locations. In all, I think that the film's settings were based on the scenery and nature of numerous south-western American states.
