My son and I went to Yellowstone. It was the most breathtaking experience I gave my son. The natural blitz of having a raging waterfall beaming its pallets of water drops against the shear sides and the scent of pine trees. Now that was beautiful.

Hello Randy ! Nice to be out there with your son alone ...just men’s! It reminds me our days there ...such a beautiful park ! So no showers in the campground...😳 on our trip in Gaspésie Quebec we were at Park Canada Forillon , the campground had showers and an employee did the cleaning 3 times every day but one third of the campground was closed for the season . In the other places we did , private campgrounds didn’t have any showers but with our camping trailer and with 3 services we were ok for a shower in our camping trailer . See you in part 2 ...going there now ! I was quite busy lately...did our 22 days road trip and started editing it and putting aside the editing of our 84 days trip until i am finish . Have a great day ! H&S 👩‍❤️‍👨🌈🇨🇦

Grand Prismatic Springs was completely amazing to me, but when I saw the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone for the first time... it was a view I will never forget.

Nice! My wife and I were just reminiscing today about our trip to Yellowstone in 2015... We a did full loop coming in from the north: 1 night at Roosevelt Lodge, 1 night at Lake Lodge, 3 nights at Old Faithful Inn (with an "old house" room that looked directly onto the geyser!), and a final night at Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel before heading back to Canada (via 1 night at Glacier Park Lodge). It was AMAZING! We didn't hike but we did hit all the geyser basins, a Yellowstone Lake cruise, Fishing Bridge, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Mammoth Hot Springs, a BBQ cookout, a sunset tour in one of the vintage yellow White Buses, the museum and the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone, Obsidian Cliff, AND got caught in a buffalo jam for well over an hour with our car completely surrounded... An absolutely magical experience, and when the border opens back up, we'd totally do it again!

So I was working in my bedroom when the notification came in about a new video. When I saw the thumbnail I blurted out "Oh Wow" my six year old daughter Kaylee came running in and said "What Dad?". I told her that you had posted a new video and it was at Yellowstone . "Let's do this" she said LOL. We have been watching a ton of your videos this summer (a story I'll save for another day, but like her Dad she's a big fan. When we realized this was you and Shane's firs Father/Son adventure we were so happy for you guys. What a great park to start with too. Shane did a great job on camera!!!! It has been fun watching him grow into that :) Fun to see the park through your eyes with upgraded gear from the last time you were there too. What a difference. I do modest trip planning for folks at times and as you shared here the best advice I can give is being able to adapt to best laid plans :) KAYLEE wanted to say something too: She hopes Shane had a great time.

It's called "Secrets and Lies" by David Celeste. It comes from a subscription plan to "Epidemic Sound."

We never swore growing up so the ultimate insult my sis and I would call each other is 'Buffalo Butt'. To this day every time I see a buffalo I just smile and reminisce the wonder years. //I'm blinded by that yellow sweater but thumbs up for the Cubs hat.

haha! Nothing like Yellowstone... or my choice of sweatshirts!

I hope you guys catch/caught Steamboat Geyser erupting since it's been highly active recently! I'm a massive geology nerd (I've probably said that on a previous video, sorry if I'm repeating XD), so the geology of Yellowstone fascinates me so much. I miss it, but it's so expensive and neither I nor my family can afford to go visit anytime soon :(

Hi Natalie, we were really rushed at Norris Basin and didn't hear anything of Steamboat erupting when we were there. However, just as we got home, I began reading the headlines. Would have been really cool! BTW, another viewer going to Yellowstone just mentioned he picked up $100 RT tickets. Take care!

all your vids make me sad 😭. that i can't be there rt now.

Thankfully most everything is open at Yellowstone. Gets a little busy in the summer, but most of the people kept their distance from each other. covid-free would be nice again!

My husband and I are leaving in two weeks. And I can’t decide what clothes to bring. Looks like it will be super cold in the morning and up to 70 in the afternoon. Any tips?

@AmericasParks

3 жыл бұрын

Yes, pretty much sums up the weather. Check the forecast before you go, but I'd expect the mid-30's at night. Coldest around 4-6 am. A good sleeping bag and a wool cap is the key for me. Try to visit the popular places early in the morning to beat the crowds. It was super cool being at Norris Basin nearly all by ourselves (part 2 video). Definitely take the hike up to the observation point to view Grand Prismatic (part 2 video). Stop by the ranger area near Old Faithful to see what times the geysers are erupting. Enjoy!!!

My daughter is in the air now on her way to YS. Her Honeymoon. She has been to YS several times but this will be her husbands first visit. We watch your vidoes often. They have 6 days there and 4 at Glacier.

What’s the best airport to fly to going to Yellowstone?

@AmericasParks

3 жыл бұрын

If you don't mind paying a little more, Billings (or Idaho Falls) is relatively close. As for economical airports, we flew into Denver (great deal on the flights) (Salt Lake City is an option too). Unfortunately, it's a hike with the car.

What do you do to be able to travel so much? I’d love to travel to different states and hike different parks but it’s a lot for our family of 5. Any tips? Can you do a video about it?

I am a pastor of a large church with roughly 5 weeks off/year (including holidays). When we travel, we go pretty hard - hitting many locations. Little rest and down-time. Thankfully we enjoy it and travel rather inexpensively... And great suggestion! Yes, others have asked for that - think I'll try to get something up in the future.

Americas Parks my husband is self employed and I’m a stay at home mom so we have a flexible schedule...the problem is the money bec were a family of 5. Although, my step son is 21 and my son 17 and both have jobs so maybe at least the older one can chip in some money. I just wish we could explore the mid west. One of my item in my bucket list is to hike and explore Montana, Colorado, Idaho area

Yellowstone is my favorite park and I've been to 48 of them. Also, I was wondering if we could do a collaboration video where I could do a Q&A with you. If you would agree to, I could set up a Zoom call and we could do the interview with that. It would be a great honor.
