Maybe it was just the time we were there, but Norris Geyser Basin BLEW ME AWAY! The whole Porcelain Basin Trail was erupting, literally dozens of geysers steaming thickly and dramatically into the dawn morning air, I felt like I was on another planet. It was on our first day, and It jaded me to everything else we saw in the park for the rest of the week (everything on your list).
One of my favorite short side roads in the park is Fire Hole Lake Drive, just north of Grand Prismatic. It's is a great place to get away from the traffic on a busy day and has a lot to offer.
The weather was perfect yesterday because all the animals at animal kingdom were very active! It’s been great so far. Come join us for lunch today. Lol
@@WereintheRockies good news about the animals when the weather gets too hot sometimes we don’t see very many. I would love to meet you guys but don’t want to interrupt your day. Planning a place to meet might be hard
I hope you guys do a video on the plants, flowers and trees found in yellowstone someday! That'd be super cool to learn about and where to see them 💐 I started watching your videos for help now I watch for funsies
Your videos are the best! I’m planning my whole trip based of your videos! I’m doing a solo trip to Yellowstone. Your advice has helped so much! Thank you!
@@WereintheRockies The first week on June. Although I have to admit after watching your videos and you suggesting September there is this part of me that was considering September. I am on the fence about it but I know I need to make a decision this week and book my camping spot. Since I’ll be alone I’m not going to camp in a tent. I found enough options within 30 minutes to an hour of the park on the west side. Originally I was going to stay in Cody Wyoming but this is before I started doing some research and after seeing your video I realized I didn’t want to be 2 1/2 hours away from the west entrance. Your videos helped me so much I took notes and I plan on watching them over and over again!
Thanks! I did a top ten for Grand Teton here: czcams.com/video/L6zAFkp5X2Y/video.html. Maybe not as succinct but it was early on in my CZcams journey. lol. Full of useful info though. Thanks for watching!
How do you NOT have MORE subscribers??? We, will be there in July... because of your Channel and the multitude of your video’s... I have my list of things to do durning our 7 day stay. THANK YOU!
Thanks for the tips. My wife and I have gone to Yellowstone twice. Once in 2015 and again in 2018. It's deffinatly our favorite national park. So much diversity. Plan on going back at least once while we're on our big trip out west starting in April. Hope you are enjoying Disney. Not sure if you're still there or not. 👍👫🙏
Still here! It’s been great. Thank you. Epcot tomorrow and Magic Kingdom Tuesday. Will be fun to make videos on Disney as well. Thanks as always for watching. Your trip is right around the corner
Went to Yellowstone in 1996 as a 12 year old. My favorite sight was the travertine terraces. I have been telling people about them for years. I'm really sad it doesn't look the same anymore...I was really looking forward to showing my kid. :(
I enjoy your family approach to your videos. One small correction, Mount Washburn is not the tallest peak in Yellowstone. It's Eagle Peak. But Mount Washburn is an enjoyable hike.
I know when we were there the hike was unofficial. You had to know where to go, no signage at all. I don't know why steps and a viewing platform have never been built. One of the most incredible sights I've ever seen.
Great video 👍 hopefully we will be coming to the area in September if we can travel from England 🇬🇧. Are some things closed in yellowstone this year thank you
Not sure yet. Only thing I know is one of the roads is still closed due to construction. Hope you can make it here. I think you will be able to. We may travel to Europe this year.
I have been loving your videos, I am planning a trip for next year. I was wondering if I were to pick two different places to stay in the park to see everything, Which places would you recommend. I had originally thought of West Yellowstone, but after doing much more reading, it is becoming much more apparent to stay in the park. Canyon Lodge is in the middle, would it be best to just stay there the whole time? We are retired and have no time constraints and then we are heading to Grand Tetons after Yellowstone. Thanks.
Canyon would be an amazing place! Only issue is Lamar is far away because of the road closure. If you stayed a night or two in gardiner or even one in gardiner and one in Cooke city, it would be amazing. But I know that’s kind of a hassle. I have a special connection with retired people because of my day job. Haha. Anyway, I really think you would like my audio guide. Lots of history and stories.
Love all your videos on Yellowstone.. and the Grand Tetons we watch them all.. so we decided to go there this coming June.. looked up the hotel's you were talking about in your other videos.. like Kelly's inn, days inn.. but there prices are extremely high right now.. do you know why? .. $200 to 300 per night.. that for June 5th to June 8th.. This is with sites like bookings, TripAdvisor,
Hmmm. Well, I’m not sure if it’s because it’s the middle of the summer or if places are charging more due to covid. I think when we last went there it was fall so the prices might have been lower. Thanks so much for watching our videos. We just released a guide to yellowstone if you’re interested. It’s on our website www.wereintherockies.com. Working on grand teton guide now. Hope you have a fantastic trip.
I haven’t done that hike. Generally I recommend spending more time hiking in Grand Teton than in Yellowstone though. But I can’t speak to Bunsen Peak specifically.
Brink of the Upper Falls is a short walk and a 30 minute stop. Brink of the Lower Falls is .8 miles, but it is a steep walk (600 foot drop). So that would take longer than Upper Falls.
I was trying to pick between the Fountain Paint Pots and Artist’s Paintpots. Am I understanding correctly, that you would pick Artists? Would you mind to do a quick comparison? Thanks!
Good question! Artist Paintpots is more colorful and leads up a hill to an overlook. Fountain Paintpots has more of a variety of geothermal features, including one geyser that is always erupting. We are releasing a guide very soon that will help you plan all this out. On our website at www.wereintherockies.com
One of my favorite pics from Lamar Valley. A pack of wolves attacking a herd of bisons one-photo.kronsell.net/____gallery/images/e/a17/445/2b0/93d/bb0/f93/4d4/fb6/a1b/476/9f0/2b8/6d1.jpg_l.jpg?progressive&_1&webp
@@WereintheRockies It was a great evening. I have more wolf pics, and around 20 minutes later we came across a grizzly dining on a bison. At that time it had gotten darker and I was more than half a mile ftom the bear, so the photo could be better. Also somewhere arong 1 million mosquitos were dining on me 😁 one-photo.kronsell.net/____gallery/images/7/cf6/ff2/c7a/a39/c00/c10/f66/a1f/c1c/f21/bc2/979/1ed.jpg_l.jpg?progressive&_1&webp

I bought the itinerary for Yellowstone and found it an extremely helpful resource for planning our trip.

Canyon Village reservation for next September already on the books. Can't wait, and I'm taking you two with me!
Deal!!

Your guides are amazing!!!
Thank you!!
Thank you.
I went to The Grand Canyon - South Rim last year (March 2020) and am headed to see Yellowstone in 2022. Your guidance is much appreciated.
Your reviews are the best I found on planning a trip to yellowstone. Thank you.
Happened to be on my iPad when this popped up. Excellent info as usual. Hope you are enjoying your vacation. Sorry for the chilly weather!

@@WereintheRockies good news about the animals when the weather gets too hot sometimes we don’t see very many. I would love to meet you guys but don’t want to interrupt your day. Planning a place to meet might be hard
I went in Oct 15-17. Low crowds. Great points in this video. This is our FIRST countries’ NP, too. Old Faithful was great.
I hope you guys do a video on the plants, flowers and trees found in yellowstone someday! That'd be super cool to learn about and where to see them 💐 I started watching your videos for help now I watch for funsies
Thanks so much!! Yes, good video idea. I’ll have to think about that one
I know this is old, but I love this idea as an East Coaster. I just heard of the huckleberry a few months ago. I don’t want to miss out on things.
Your videos are the best! I’m planning my whole trip based of your videos! I’m doing a solo trip to Yellowstone. Your advice has helped so much! Thank you!
Solo!!!?? Wow. When??

Awesome!! I just shot a video about when to visit Yellowstone. Stay tuned and it will give you some ideas. :)
Grateful for your guide, love all the included info; so worth it!
Thank you so much!!
I would suggest 3-4 days in Yellowstone and plan out which sites you want to do before hand. Traveling around will take time.
Love the video, flowed perfectly and the background music, spot on. Would you do likewise for Teton National park. H
Thanks! I did a top ten for Grand Teton here: czcams.com/video/L6zAFkp5X2Y/video.html. Maybe not as succinct but it was early on in my CZcams journey. lol. Full of useful info though.

As always, very helpful. Wrote down the list in my planner. Thanks again. And I'm sure I'll comment again. 🙂

@@WereintheRockies Sorry the weather hasn't been the best but sometimes cool and cloudy is better than hot and sunny.
It’s been a lot warmer than Utah! And at animal kingdom the animals were very active because it was a cool day.
@@WereintheRockies Enjoy. 😁
Just what I was looking for, thanks guys! Going in late May
Have a great trip

It is still really beautiful and definitely worth showing your kid.
I enjoy your family approach to your videos. One small correction, Mount Washburn is not the tallest peak in Yellowstone. It's Eagle Peak. But Mount Washburn is an enjoyable hike.
Thank you for the compliment AND the correction!! And thanks for watching.

We saw many animals in Hayden valley

Have you ever hiked to Bunsen Peak and if so do you recommend it? It is near Mammoth.
I haven’t done that hike. Generally I recommend spending more time hiking in Grand Teton than in Yellowstone though. But I can’t speak to Bunsen Peak specifically.
@@WereintheRockies Okay, thanks!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you! Question: Did you say Brink of Lower Falls is over a 5 mile hike, but a 30 min stop?
Brink of the Upper Falls is a short walk and a 30 minute stop. Brink of the Lower Falls is .8 miles, but it is a steep walk (600 foot drop). So that would take longer than Upper Falls.
@@WereintheRockies ahhh! Thank you!!
What time should we plan on going to the park inorder to get around properly? Is 8:00 am early enough?
I was trying to pick between the Fountain Paint Pots and Artist’s Paintpots. Am I understanding correctly, that you would pick Artists? Would you mind to do a quick comparison? Thanks!

Are the trails you hike to see and experience these highlight attractions strenuous or difficult or are they more like level walking paths?
Most of the trails are level walking paths but there are a couple that are steeper.
Are the guided tours on yellowstone lake worth the money and time?
I think so. They don’t cost that much and they are a chance to get out on the lake

Do I detect Minnesota accents 👀
Minnesota is awesome but we are both born and raised Utahns
