Went looking for grizzly evidence up on the Rescue Cr. trail area. Didn't see any. This video will give you an idea of current conditions in Yellowstone National Park.
"Rescue Creek was erroneously named for the rescue site of Truman Everts, who became separated from his group and wandered in the wilderness." without his spectacles, horse or gear and lived on the roots of elk thistle for 37 days before being rescued. His rescue location, however, was near Tower Creek, but F.V. Hayden mistakenly named this as the location and it has borne the name Rescue Creek ever since.
There is a book called "Lost in the Yellowstone" by Truman Everts, edited by Lee Whittlesey, which tells about this. It's very good. I believe we bought it in Yellowstone at one of the bookstores. The University of Utah Press published it.
Great hike during some brutal windy conditions. You know it's wicked when the snow crunches like that. Regardless, it didn't seem to bother the elk. Thanks as usual for sharing the beauty and stay safe Stan.
I even got the chills hiking with you Stan this morning video. A wind like that makes things more of a challenge and it can cut right through you. Always Beautiful!! The elk have no care.
Thank you Stan for braving the extra cold day. I so appreciate the long shots of you walking through a scene. After your last video with showing the setup I value the beauty even more. Be well and take care. Lori
Here is a video that you may be interested in before your hikes into grizzly backcountry this spring. Thanks. czcams.com/video/bp48kijafR0/video.htmlsi=Ki8k3TeHZg6yM4LU
Hey Stan, I think I have watched that video, but will definitely watch it again as refresher for sure. Thanks for the link. Stay safe and God Bless your adventures!
Amazing Stan. I'm in Asia right now, but my wife is at our place in Madison Valley at an altitude of 6400 feet. Her pics look the same. Stay safe.Shane
So I assume the Rescue Creek trailhead closer to Gardiner is still closed due to the flood, did you get on the trail from the Blacktail side? Hopefully the west side Rescue Creek Trailhead will be open sometime this year, in that YNP report of about a week ago there was no mention of when a new bridge will be installed. I've previously lived in both Gardiner and Cooke City, so I spent a lot of time snowshoeing on the Northern Range, however, your trip in the windy, cold air didn't seem that inviting!
I asked them about the Rescue creek bridge and the Lava creek bridge. They told me that they are low priority. So the only way for a while will be from the Blacktail side.
Stan, you should teach folks HOW to capture an audience with God's beauty without destroying it with excessive distractions and musical noise. Always enjoyable and eager to view EACH of your productions. Blessings, Sir !!
Excellent video Stan. I have been to Yellowstone in both January and February but did not had luck to see wolves. Do you have any recommended trail where chances are maximum to encounter them?

Thank you so much for that excellent information. I never knew that. I always like to learn about the history of the area.

Shivering on this hike. My arms are still covered with goosebumps.
Beautiful sunrise and scenery.
Awesome! Being able to see so many tracks is one of the things I love about winter! 👍😎🇨🇦❄🐾
Yes, all the tracks are great. But I can’t wait to start seeing bear tracks.
Very nice views, a lot of tracks, the elk were majestic! . Thank you sorry you had such a cold windy hike .

The wind was blowing so hard that I figured it could be a little unsafe if I continued. Then the wind started to die down on my way back.
Thank you for another fabulous video of a magical place!

Fantastic, again. Thanks Stan....
Thanks Stan, always wonderful seeing your videos
Nice video.....thanks Stan!

Thank you. I hope to start seeing some bear signs before long. Have a great day.
Another excellent video Stan! Love tracking and track identification! Thanks for sharing your adventures!! Stay safe!

Good morning Stan!
Good morning.
There Stan goes again, showing off the Garden of Eden
Nice snowy landscape.

Where in Asia. I spent a lot of time over there also.

as always, thanks
Lots of tracks.

Love your videos but can I suggest your letting us know what animal makes the tracks? Keep the videos coming!
I normally do but it was hard to talk with the wind blowing. These were all Coyote and elk tracks.
Excellent video Stan. I have been to Yellowstone in both January and February but did not had luck to see wolves. Do you have any recommended trail where chances are maximum to encounter them?
the Buffalo Plateau area is normally good.
@@StanMills thanks for the suggestion
Were those bobcat tracks on top of the snow?
I didn’t examine them that closely. I just assumed they were coyotes.
Stan whats guesstimate on snow levels throughout the park?
Below average.
Nice video thanks... let me where the Buffalo are if u could please......need some meat in my freezer 😊
