Well done video. I have visited Yellowstone many times over the last three years. I would add that a common mistake is for people to go to the various sites late morning to late afternoon and it is hard to get parking spaces. I would suggest going into the park after 4:00 PM and the crowds have dissipated quite a bit. In June, July, and August, it gets dark late so there is plenty of time to see the sites.

This is an excellent tip! Mid-day is a great time for longer hikes away from the boardwalks and more popular loops.

We just did the Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier. Be sure to do the Teton scenic bypass. You really need to get inside Grand Teton Natl Park. Seeing it from a distance is NOT the same.

I worked three summers in Yellowstone. When tourist would ask how long they need to stay in the park, I'd say at least 5 days, then I'd tell them what to see. And yes, Riverside and Beehive are two of my favorites. I've seen Beehive go off three times. Yellowstone is a big park, and I need to get back there. Even after three summers, there are still things I need to see. Plus I need to smell that special smell again :)

I would love to work a summer there, but I don't see them hiring pharmacists 😅 my favorite geyser I've seen is Fan and Mortar. I've seen it twice and it's spectacular. I can't wait to go back soon!

@@HappyPharmLife There is at least one, maybe two medical clinic's in the park, for emergencies. I just don't remember where they are. I worked with the concessionaires. Twice as a room attendant, at Grand Village Lodge and Old Faithful Lodge. My first summer was up in Mammoth, at the Hamilton General store. I need to get back there and see the new terrace that is growing in Mammoth, on the east side of the main road.

Would I be able to see the colourful grand prismatic spring in sept? Or better chance in late August? I’m flexible from late August to the 3rd week of Sept. your input is much appreciated :)

@@nasdanrose4802 I would go in late August. Crowds will have thinned out due to kids going back to school. The problem with going to the Park after Labor day, is things will start to close shortly after the Labor day weekend. Plus the weather can turn bad really quick in September. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Great video. Very informative Thx for sharing

Definitely a spectacular park with some awesome spots to see! The Grand Prismatic Springs and its nearby overlook, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and Old Faithful Geyser in particular are must-sees. Thanks for making this video.

I love this video so much. It's such a beautiful video. And great information for those of us who are wanting to plan a trip to Yellowstone.

I also very much like the important point of staying on the walks. I’m aware of too many tragic stories of where things didn’t end well for people who ignored this rule. One happened a few years ago where a young man and his sister were walking through an open geyser field at night looking for a place to go hot potting. The guy fell in a geyser and by the time the rescue crew could recover his body the next morning, there was nothing left of him because of the high acid content. Another one happened I believe in the seventies. A guy and his friend were walking the guy’s dog at one of the geyser basins when the dog fell in one. One of the guys dove in to try and save the dog but neither the guy or the dog survived.

After decades of wanting to visit, finally going next week. Thank you for this informative video!

@Happy Pharm Life we just got back, today and the whole place is extraordinary. Even our digital age kiddos loved it. We are already planning 2 weeks for next year. We looked at the Yellowstone Inn on the lake, the yellow one, with the little yellow cabins. Can we bring a grill while we stay there? Would love to be able to cook some meals while we stay. We stayed at Marriott, in Idaho, was beautiful but 30min treck to the park,daily and we would just love to stay inside the park. We don't have a camper and not in tents. We went to the the huge Log hotel, which we loved, but again, I'd like to cook some meals for thr time we are there. We spent an absolute fortune eating out, all our meals for 8 days

Great video. My spouse and I are looking forward to visiting Yellowstone this summer.

I’m usually somewhat skeptical about videos such as this but, after watching this one, I was very impressed with your comprehensive and informative effort. As a long-time visitor to Yellowstone (it’s probably my favorite place on Earth!) I found myself totally agreeing with every single one of your tips. I especially liked the tips concerning the thermal features… I dearly love Old Faithful, but many of my favorite geysers are some of the lesser known, more interesting ones (such as Lone Star). My advice to visitors would be to get out of your car, get your feet on the trail or boardwalk, spend as much time as you can afford, and allow yourself to sink into the place and let the amazing details of this wonderland reveal themselves. Yellowstone (and Grand Teton) are genuine treasures that require some time and effort to truly appreciate, and I feel that your video will be a great help to first time and repeat visitors alike.

That sounds like a fantastic trip! We tried to go up Pikes Peak last May but didn't get to go to the very top because of the large snowfall! Hopefully we can go again and make it to the top!

I am bringing my elderly parents, their dogs, my siblings via rental RV next summer. Is there a lot of walking? Can I drive an RV thru and park ok? Or should I park at the campsites and rent a car and drive to the places?

@HappyPharmLife

9 ай бұрын

There is a lot of walking in most places, especially if you want to see the best things the park has to offer. You can drive through the park okay in an RV, but parking is limited in many locations, even for cars, so I imagine it would be easier if you had a rental car.

If you decide to stay in West Yellowstone avoid staying at Hibernation Station. There are much better options. The management there sucks and doesn’t have the customer’s best interest in mind

Im planning go in August, but it’s to expensive

@HappyPharmLife

Yellowstone is unfortunately expensive. It's difficult to run due to the location, severe weather conditions, and the constant physical changes happening in the park. We saved for awhile to make it work for us!

Can still remember the smell…….

Grand geyser was better.

Do not touch, molest or approach ANY wildlife. Baby animals might look abandoned but momma is around somewhere. LEAVE IT ALONE!

@MrMywildside

9 ай бұрын

True story. Not only can you end up in a world of hurt by doing such a thing, the baby animal might then have to be euthanized because of it (because the momma might abandon it after human interaction). If you see a baby animal that seems to be struggling it’s best to let a ranger know about it and let them handle it.

All excellent points! It's a beautiful part of America!!

You need to change the title of this video to something more about geysers instead of Yellowstone national Park. I am now 3 minutes into an 8-minute video and you're still only talking about geysers. Sorry no can do
