A Journey to the Head waters of the Yellowstone River Episode 2
Head waters of the Yellowstone River
Episode 2
Finding the upper head waters of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming on horseback. This journey will take us through the Bridger Teton & Shoshone Wildernesses. Up and over Deer Creek Pass down into the Thoroughfare Drainage to the Yellowstone River and Bridger Lake. Then up the river to the head waters where water starts on the mighty Yellowstone River. Then we will travel across the Buffalo Plateau and down Marston Pass to the South Fork of the Shoshone River, and travel out along the Canyons of the Shoshone River that Buffalo Bill help build in the 1880s
This will be a 3 episode video to show the massive journey it took to reach the head waters of the Yellowstone River where water starts and journey back. I tried to make a short version video of this journey but could not. It was just too wild, too big, and too grand of a landscape. So please watch all three episodes and enjoy this trip or Journey, to find the head waters of the Yellowstone River as we did.
We traveled by horseback over 3 mountain passes, three water sheds like the Yellowstone River that lead to the Missouri River. Head waters of the Snake River to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also the Shoshone River that continues down to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We traveled by horseback 126 miles in some of the wildest county in the lower 48 starts. Enjoy our journey on the biggest screen you have.
Please comment and share your feedback with us. We would love to hear from you.
Be sure to like and share if you enjoyed this video. and above all thanks for tuning in. More wilderness horseback trips to come.
Stay curious and explore
Special thanks to Lee, Hunter and Alex of Livingstone outfitters in Cody Wyoming for there help in making this trip happen (307)899-3057

My great great grandfather's brother was Harry Yount, whom Yount's Peak is named after. I have always been curious about what the area around the mountain looked like and have considered backpacking into it. You have given me a front-row seat to the trail. Thank you. It's a beautiful video.

If you get the chance definitely go and Summit Younts, it’s spectacular. I’d recommend backpacking in from Brooks Lake and heading up over Bonneville Pass onto the Buffalo Plateau and over and up to Younts. That is absolutely wild and beautiful country up there. You will not regret it.

I am a history and genealogy nut. Glad to see someone research they're ancestors. If my memory is correct your grandfather left Missouri for the California gold rush and became a successful businessman.
So cool that the horses get to run free and will come back when you call them like a pet dog 👏

Thank you for these videos! I traveled that same trail in 1978, going the opposite direction. The first time I shod a horse was at that big campsite where the Thorofare meets the Yellowstone, someone had packed in an anvil and left it there. Wonderful memories! Nothing like a thunderstorm up high. Loved watching you folks throw your hitches, well done on the video production as well!

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us! I can recall the ancient feeling of the Yellowstone Park and that was the area the tourists visit. The one thing I noticed about this series is the lack of wildlife. Do you think it's because of the wildfires or because they can hear the mule trains long before you would see any? Thank you so much for posting ;) rides of a lifetime for sure!
