- This was our very first visit to Yellowstone National Park. We hit the hot spots, and saw most of the sites along the "Figure 8" loop.
Ride along with us, as we show you Yellowstone National Park.
Thanks for showing it was awesome
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
My mother passed away in October of 2021. Before she passed her and some ladies from her church went on a trip out west. They visited Rocky Mountains National Park, the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore National Monument and Yellowstone National Park where she and they got to see the Old Faithful geyser. Seeing this video of one of the places she saw makes me think of her and her love of traveling. Thank you for putting out this video on your CZcams channel. Means a lot to me.
We appreciate your comment. So sorry about the loss of your mother. I'm so glad she got to take that trip. It truly is beautiful out there.
We did the Grand Canyon 3 years ago, and we also did the Rocky Mountain National Park this trip.
That video should be up today, or tomorrow.
We are so glad that seeing this video, and Old Faithful, brought back a fond memory of your mother.
Thanks so much for sharing that with us.
Great video footage of all of the waterfalls . Absolutely beautiful! Thar was a great review of the park and an excellent summary of all 3 of them.
@smokymountainman4964 Thank you for watching. I figured we should probably give a summary of our favorite ones, because I figured her and I would have a different opinion. That lets viewers know that all of them are worth visiting, but there are different aspects to each one.
Yes, the waterfalls were absolutely beautiful, especially Artist Point.
That scenery is stunning. I love waterfalls and mountians. The geyers were amazing. Our Creator sure made a beautiful world. What an great adventure you had. Seeing Old Faithful erupt i am sure was very exciting. Thank you for taking me with you to these Western National Parks because I may never have the opportunity to visit them and see them in person.
@smokymountainman4964 You are very welcome. The scenery out there is truly stunning. We were glad to be able to see it, and to bring it to our viewers.
Thank you for sharing your Yellowstone adventures with all of us. I have enjoyed all your western trip. I'll never see these places in person so this is very special to see through your experiences. God bless you both!
@nancyedwards5048 So glad that our videos brought the scenery close to you. That means a lot.
We very much appreciate you watching, and for letting us know that you enjoyed it.
I hope to go there someday. I want to see the beauty that God created in our nation.
I hope you get to visit there. It is truly beautiful.
Wow....wow....wow!!!! Loved this video.
So glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Loved watching all of the places you visited on your trip out west. I made that trip in 1988, and I really enjoyed seeing it all again in your videos.
So glad that our videos brought back some fond memories of your travels out there.
Thanks some good memories .... artist point was always one of fav's . Be safe
Yes, Artist Point was one of the highlights of Yellowstone for us. Absolutely breathtaking.
Great video again, Yellowstone looks fantastic. When we were in Death Valley we spoke to a couple who were waiting to take a photo next to the sign and they lived 15 miles from our home, small world. We found through my lens very helpful too, used their video on Blueridge parkway to plan that part of our roadtrip in March / April. Thanks for an entertaining video, you always make us smile. 😁
It really is a small world. You can be 1500 miles away from home, and meet up with someone who lives near you.
That happened to us in Florida a few years ago. I think it was the year before last. We were in a store, and met 2 people that lived just across the lake from us.
Just watched y’all’s video,, so amazing,, loved the 🐻 bears,, that grizzly was awesome!! Thx again for sharing & great job with that scenery.👍🏻
You're very welcome! So glad you enjoyed it.
We went a few years ago.............LOVED IT!
Yes, it is a very beautiful place with lots of great scenery. Glad you got to experience it.
My husband and I really enjoyed this video.
We've never been ,so throughly enjoyed watching the video. WONDERFUL videos of the National parks! Thank you for sharing this journey. We loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it! We are happy to bring these types of videos to you. Hope you get to go sometime. The American West is really beautiful.
Wonderful video! We were fortunate to see Yellowstone and the Tetons in 2018. It made a deep impact on me. I have a hard time finding adequate words to describe it. Such a beautiful area of the country. A showcase of God's great handiwork. We plan to visit Glacier National Park in September towing our travel trailer from TN, Lord willing. I love your wildlife estimates at the end of the video 🤣. And your advice about Yellowstone is so accurate. People who simply look at a map and think they can drive through and see it all in one day are kidding themselves. It simply cannot be done. And I agree about the highlights. Old Faithful is a must-see because it is the default icon of Yellowstone. Anyone visiting the park needs to see it. But Grand Prismatic and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone along with the falls are overwhelmingly beautiful. We hope to see Rocky Mountain National Park sometime.
@bigjohnd1973 Glacier is on our short list of things we want to do in the near future.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Also, we did Rocky Mountain National park, and that video should be up today or tomorrow.
I'm glad you enjoyed the wildlife estimate at the end. I lost count with the chipmunks, so I just made up a nice large number. And then a little added humor with the rough estimate remark.
Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the video.
We went there several years ago…it was late May first of June..cold, snowing, …I stepped off that little lift up going down to old faithful, kinda hurrying back to the car and fell, caught myself with my hands and knees. My arms all the way up were black and blue, stopped at a rest area a couple days later and the ladies were like …you okay, I think they thought I was being beat up! lol……I live in North Ga….home of the no rain, drought, 90 degrees and up so far this summer! Enjoy your videos!
So sorry to hear that you got hurt. Nothing ruins a vacation more than that. But I'm glad you are doing better now, and got to see Old Faithful.
Nice enjoyed🎉
Thank you!
You really need to stay inside the Park to cut down on hours of driving although you covered an amazing amount of ground. Good choice on favorite view. Artist Point is what made Yellowstone a National Park. As documented in the recently published (2022) History book "Saving Yellowstone"", artist Thomas Moran painted Artist Point as a 10 foot tall oil painting that he made to show congress this amazing place and why it should be protected from commercial development. The painting currently hangs in the US Capitol. Moran accompanied surveyor and expedition leader Frederick Hayden and a group of explorers documenting this Wonderland in the Wild West. I enjoyed your video even though we were just there the week before 4th of July. We stayed in Canyon Village in the Park . I recommend it because it's centrally located.
Those are definitely good recommendations. Our problem was that we only booked about 2 months before going, and most of everything in the Park was already filled up.
Plus, it was 4th of July week, and that caused the prices to skyrocket.
I would love to have stayed in the Park. If I had my choice, I would have stayed at Old Faithful Lodge. But that was just a bit out of our budget, unfortunately.
This did give us an opportunity to go into Montana, so that we can say we've been to Montana
Yes, we saw a picture of the painting that Mr. Moran painted. Artist Point is truly breathtaking.
Artist point was beautiful. The falls are beautiful and the force of the water is so frightening for me, but definitely pretty and amazing from afar. I am not a crowd fan, or traffic. Seems to be alot of that there, and rightfully so. Thanks for sharing.
Some areas were very crowded, especially around Grand Prismatic, Old Faithful and Artist Point. But when we were driving, we were able to keep moving for the most part.
You are correct, about the force of the water. When we were at Upper Falls, it was just amazing how much water was going over that thing. It was unbelievable. I would hate to have been in the water, because I don't think a human would survive it.
It can be very bad crowd and traffic wise. However if you know where to go and when it’s not that bad. The park is large enough that the more niche areas aren’t crowded during peak times. Then you can go to places like old faithful early or late in the day.
@chrisrenemans5026 Yes, that is true. It is a matter of knowing where to go, and when. I think we were at Old Faithful around 4:30 in the evening, if I remember correctly.
Great video. Next time you want mountain views, take the NE entrance/exit to Red Lodge Montana. Bear Tooth pass is breathtaking.
Yes, we wanted to do that, as well as the Lamar Valley. This trip just didn't afford us the time, but we will be doing it again. And those will be our top priority.
I would have been so excited to see all of that. It is breath taking. What a wonderful place for the wild life to live. The water falls are awesome. If you and your wife didn't video these, we wouldn't be able to see it. Even though we havent met each other, we feel that you two have to be wonderful people to take your time like this. God bless. ❤❤😊
We are so appreciative of your kind and encouraging comments. It is viewers like you, that make it all worth it.
Despite the small handful of critics that try to tear us down, the overwhelming majority of people love watching things like this. We love bringing these videos to you.
Thank you for letting us know you enjoy them.
Awesome to see Old Faithful active, even if it was tardy😊
Yes, it was a nice experience, and something you have to do if you go to Yellowstone.
Great video , me and my wife were there in 2021 .we loved Yellowstone. If you get The chance sometime go to Mount Rushmore, Custer state park and Deadwood are all close to each other.
Our son has been to Mount Rushmore 3 times, I think, and he's been after us to go. We will have to do that at some point.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I don’t know if you been to Yosemite, but it ranks number 1 with me. There's nothing like entering the valley floor from hwy 140. It takes my breath away! I’ve been going to Yosemite since I was a small child and I still get tha same feeling everytime I go.
We have not been to Yosemite yet, but we have talked about doing it in the future.
Happy for you guys and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy the West. You’re not missing much but heat back home.
We thoroughly loved our time out there. We got back home Sunday morning.
Great video. Very informative great views. I agree that tetons are amazing. we stayed in teton Village
I spelled everything right, lol😂
Lol...I'm sorry about that yesterday.
I think he's a nice guy overall, but he does feel the need to be overly critical at times. That's not the first time I've had to address something.
He challenged my wife's post on Facebook last week, as well. I had to address that.
He's never been directly rude with us or criticized us, and I think he's an overall good guy, but I wish he would be a bit more careful in what he says.
@NCMemoryMakers no problem, Derek shawnasi. Thank you for responding to him. That's the reason we watch your videos. You're good people, and so are we, so it's all good. Thank you again. We are glad you're having a good time out west. God bless both of you.
@Ouryellowlab2013 We really appreciate that.
I wish we were still out West, but we got back early this past Sunday morning.
Thanks again, and have a blessed day.
Great video, pictures and videos don't do it justice you need to be there to see . I did Tetons , Yellowstone, and Glacier a few years ago , and Yellowstone would be 3rd
Yellowstone was third on my list, and second on hers. It's still a beautiful place.
I agree with you, about pictures not doing it justice. That's what I said in our Grand Canyon video a few years back. You can't see it on TV or see enough pictures, to even give you a millionth of how big it is.
I’m sure you’ve already explained what camera and lens you use, but could you tell us again. What a gorgeous country we live in. I don’t understand why people want to travel outside the beautiful USA for scenery and experiences. Another great video. ❤️
@user-hj1ji5fv3o We certainly do have some beautiful scenery in this country. You are 100% right. We love the Great Smoky Mountains, and we love the American West.
We actually did do a video on this topic, showing the 3 modes of recording that we use. I will put the link here, and then I will be more specific as for this video.
czcams.com/video/wx82-GriDcU/video.htmlsi=XUhMkciNIaaGe3bz
That being said, this video of Yellowstone, and that of the Grand Tetons, was shot almost exclusively with the Sony AX-43A camcorder.
While we generally we use a phone most of the time for restaurant reviews, we generally use a camcorder for something with scenery that we need to zoom up on, or that we need to have a lot of steadiness.
That camcorder has a built-in gimbal, which keeps the videos from being too shaky. That's what we used in Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
The problem with that camcorder, is that it's rather bulky, and I do have another camera that shoots really good video, that fits in my pocket.
The smaller one is generally the one we use when we are driving along and have it mounted on the dash. The video of Rocky Mountain National Park that will be coming out, as well as our drive up Pikes Peak, that has already come out, utilizes both the camcorder and the smaller Sony camera.
I actually do not have any extra or special lenses for anything other than my DSLR camera, which I never use to make videos with.
Thank you for the information. I’ll let you know about the red road.
At 3 minutes and 40 seconds you’re both looking at a map and you question what the red road was. I’m just curious if you ever found out about it. Thank you.
@@user-hj1ji5fv3oIt looks like it's not a road, but part of the walking trail that goes around where those pools are at. We never did learn why it was in red.
I don't know if part of it was closed off, or what. But it was actually just the area you walk around.
First of all,thank you both for making these amazing vlogs. We absolutely love the Smokey Mountains and tge Blue Ridge Mountains...have never ventured further west. When Steve retires in another year and a half, we hope to visit Yellowstone, Grand Tetons,Rocky Mountain National Park, and possibly Glacier National Park... your videos have helped planning and thanks for noting " We're in the Rockies" fabulous channel. We missed the other name,and not sure we heard it correctly. Can you state the other channel you recommended again? We hope to be healthy to make this trip in 2 years..giving us enough time to save and plan. Would you suggest still staying in the West Yellowstone area to access the park or over in Gardiner? Not sure if its more expensive in the Gardiner area? Any concerns while on trails for Grizzlies? Concerned with not much rangers around. What would you do differently besides another day in Yellowstone? Just curious if you would spend more time in one park over the others? Thank you again! Looking forward to your upcoming reviews in Rocky Mountains and Grand Tetons...just spectacular scenery..fir now we will be coming to the Smokey Mountains..next time in August, cannot wait!
Yes, certainly.
The other channel is "Through My Lens". He does really professional videos, and sometimes travels with his wife, but mostly his dad. His channel was very helpful to us, not only for our trip to Yellowstone, but our trip on Route 66 in Arizona, a few years back. He is based out of California, but they travel all over the country.
I am glad you have enjoyed our videos. Our Rocky Mountain National Park video, should be up within a few hours.
I didn't see much of Gardiner, so it is tough to make a recommendation about that. We only went a little way into the town, and then back into Yellowstone. Would love to have seen it more. I will say that we LOVED West Yellowstone, and thought it was very beautiful. Lots of neat stores. I would not hesitate to stay there again. I would recommend pricing motels in both places, and making your decision based on what kind of deal you get. The motels in both, are expensive.
For us, Gardiner was more expensive when we were trying to plan and book a motel. It may not always be that way. We loved the town of Pinedale...Very small and quaint. But it is over 80 miles south of Grand Teton, and over 100 miles south of Yellowstone, so that would not be feasible to travel back and forth. It is a good and cheaper option, if you are heading from, or back to, Colorado.
We did not do any of the trails. I imagine an encounter with a grizzly would theoretically be possible since they do live there, but probably not likely. I don't hear of many problems arising from that.
You will probably spend more time in Yellowstone than the others, simply because it is FAR bigger and much more to see. You could see Grand Teton twice in a day, but you'd need at least 2-3 days to really take in Yellowstone, even once.
Another day in Yellowstone, is probably the only thing I would do differently. I wished I could have seen the Lamar Valley Road and Beartooth Highway.
Hope you get to make this wonderful trip soon. But there's just nowhere like the Smokies.
Thank you so much for answering our questions .We just watched your Rocky Mountains National Park Video! Loved it and the views!! Thank you for the other. You tube channels,they will help us with planning. I sure do hope we can do this trip! We agree with you,nothing like the Smokeys...we love them and always will.❤
@@paulettebrochet2011 You are very welcome. Glad to help!
I was there your right
the other side is 600 or 700 steps
I went down u want not sure u wud many it back up
your looking at tellowstone
Have y'all ever been to the Grand Canyon and or Mount Rushmore National Monument.
Grand Canyon, yes. We have a video there from 2021, around Christmas. We have not been to Mount Rushmore. Our son has, and wants us to go. We haven't made it yet.
Beautiful views. How can anyone say there is no God.
@@dww-fromnc I agree with you.
The Bible gives two answers to your question......
First, they are fools.
Second, they are willfully ignorant.
@@NCMemoryMakers Absolutely. That pretty much sums it up.
What was the red road located on the map? Thank you
Could you please tell me at what point in the video you saw the map? The video is an hour long, and I would like to know where to go to look, to answer your question.
Thanks.
