The High Chaparral has never been made commercially available on DVD. We remain hopeful that with enough encouragement, eventually it will be available. If you are one of the many fans who would like to see that happen, be sure to say so when you sign our Guest Book.
Only two episodes were ever made available commercially on video tape. They are the double episode called "New Lion of Sonora", and a black and white version of "Shadow of the Wind" that was part of a 7-pack of old television Westerns sold a few years ago at Costco and elsewhere. You can see a photo of the full set below, but it may end up on auction sites alone or with the set. The one from The High Chaparral is last in the set with Leif Erickson's picture at the top. The other tapes are for other television Westerns, all in black and white regardless of whether or not they were originally shot in color.
"New Lion of Sonora" is frequently available on auction sites or through other video outlets in its commercial packaging. It usually lists for $15-20. "Shadow of the Wind" is seen less often and may go over $25, especially if it includes the original set of Westerns. Any copies of episodes other than these two that are sold on auction sites or for a profit are bootleg copies and are illegal. We ask that no one sell or purchase such copies. Fans may share tapes they have recorded among themselves but only at cost. Several fans who are on the Discussion Group have been willing to share their tapes if you ask. The best way to find out is to join the Discussion Group and ask. Most of the tapes shared among fans were recorded off TV reruns so the quality varies widely and most have portions that have been edited out since the original broadcast version.
