Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park Video (HD)

- čas přidán 26. 10. 2017
- The Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park is literally where the Buffalo Roam, and the Deer and the Antelope play, and it's hard not to visit this place and not come away with a new respect and understanding for the world around you.
I've visited this three times, and each time have been blown away by something I've seen. This time it was a large coyote being pursued by, of all things, a pronghorn! Apparently, the coyote got a little too close to the pronghorn's babies and that was that - the pronghorn chased it across the road in front of my car at a full sprint, all they way across the valley floor until that coyote jumped in the river...But that wasn't the end of it! The Pronghorn jumped in after it and chased it up and over to another part of the bank and out of site! For all we know they're still running...

Lamar Valley is one of the few places I’ve ever experienced, that no photography I look back on or seen, could capture its scale and beauty. It’s mystical in that way. Must be seen to believed.
Well said. That spot at the end of the video? When people talk about "Heaven on Earth", they must be talking about some place like that.
I have been to Yellowstone a number of times and have even worked for the Park Service on a hot shot crew many, many years ago. I have watched many videos about Yellowstone. I congratulate you for producing a video that reflects what Yellowstone is really about, not just some wild-eyed tourist that doesn't understand the ecology of Yellowstone.
Wow - thank you so much for those kind words! Yellowstone is one of those places where you just set up the camera and let the scenery do the work, isn't it?
i don't understand why people get angry at wildlife causing traffic. We, as people, are literally driving through these animals' home to see them and yet people get angry at them crossing the road? Also, why are people getting annoyed at others stopping to look at wildlife, surely people have come to Yellowstone for the same reason of seeing its pristine nature and wildlife. I highly doubt people are using the Lamar Valley road to commute to and from work!
I hear you. I don't get the people zipping around the Buffalo jam. Just chill out. Who's in that much of a hurry in the middle of the Lamar Valley?
SilverWater I agree but some locals that work in Cooke city and live in Gardiner actually do come home from work in the park. The schools do the same thing.
@@camden6255 I grew up in San Francisco, so I understand locals being frustrated at tourist traffic patterns...But I've seen some pretty ridiculous stuff in the park - lol!
@@JfCLA
Seriously?? There's a huge difference between being respectful to the indigenous wildlife, and quite another to sit for 30 minutes everytime there's a bison or elk in the road. As a driver, if you want to observe and enjoy...then pull to the shoulder and let others slowly pass through and past whichever wildlife is making it's presence known.
Courtesy cuts both ways. I've been to Yellowstone many times since the early 70s. People are on the clock and their time in Yellowstone isn't infinite. It gets very frustrating when roads are blocked for the most common sights and occurrences where traffic could easily creep through without incident or disrupting the transition of the animals.
Phattygoodness seriously.
Yellowstone is my neighborhood. Lamar Valley is my street.
Count yourself among the luckiest!
We need to go back to Yellowstone and go to Lamar Valley
Yes, we ALL do!
Love the Lamar Valley area just a beautiful place.
It really is - one of the most beautiful I've seen!
We just got back from Yellowstone about a week ago.We thought mid May would be slow but it was packed. We were there six days and we saw bears every day. None at Lamar Valley though. And you are exactly right you never know what you’ll see in Yellowstone. You’re an awesome narrator great video.
Wow - thanks so much Jojo! So glad you guys had a great experience...I hope I get the chance to go this year. I've never been in the fall, so maybe I'll go then! How was the weather? I'm usually there in June and it's just as likely as not to be 47 degrees & raining as to be sunny & warm!
The Road Less Traveled The weather was mainly low 30s in the mornings mid to upper 60s in the afternoons, and gorgeous until a brief afternoon thunderstorm, then gorgeous again. The cold mornings definitely brought the Bears out. We try to go every other year or every three years. Truly hope you get to go back this year, and if you do make another awesome video
@@josephhill3426 Good to know. Where abouts did you see the majority of your bear sightings in yellowstone? Thanks
North 2 Alaska -- In May 2018 we saw a few in the Dunraven Pass and Canyon Village area... you can see two of them in some video I lucked out and got called YELLOWSTONE ||| ALWAYS BE BEAR AWARE. One was in the Dunraven Pass area the other in the Hayden Vally area. We saw a lot in 2018 but they were literally scattered from Hayden to Lamar. This year they were in Hell Roaring, Elk Creek, just east of Tower Junction and Hayden Vally. This year we also got some video of a wolf from the Junction Butte pack, we saw wolves two days in a row. Video called WOLF ON THE HUNT ||| LAMAR VALLEY. I know that’s a lot to digest, hope it answered your question. Be safe
I seem to get lucky on the Easy entrance road. All the way from outside the park to the lake, that's where I've had ALL my Grizzlie sightings.
Prairie dogs in Yellowstone, I don't think, are that common. However, the same cannot be said for the yellow-bellied marmot, three species of chipmunk, the golden-mantled ground squirrel, and the Uinta ground squirrel.
Good info!
Great video. I’m going on a wolf finding tour in October out of Gardiner
Thank you so much - That sounds like Heaven!
Thank you for your beautiful video. Going next month and so overwhelmed with ideas . Of course I don’t have enough time .
You may not be able to do everything, but there will be no bad decisions. How much time do you have?
The Road Less Traveled 2 full days , staying in the park at old faithful cabin
@@beachlife6890 You'll get to do/see a lot that way!
Excellent video. Lamar Valley is really an excellent place to see wildlife. We'll be coming back! -:)
Thank you! It really does have no equal, does it?
Favorite place in the world
Mine, too....I can't wait to get back there!
It's so beautiful, I wish, I was there.
So do I....Maybe soon!
Really nice video. Also that stop you love is not in Ice Box Canyon. It's the Soda Butte Picnic area, which unfortunately was all but destroyed in the floods 2 years ago. Ice Box Canon is about a half mile west. There are no prairie dogs in Yellowstone. What you are seeing are Uinta Ground Squirrels. Pronghorn are not, nor related to sheep. Lamar Valley is my favorite place in the park. I've been here for 20 years and it always amazes me. Finally, you should always try to herd the bison along when they are on the road. Don't just sit there. If you want to enjoy the bison, use one of the many pullouts. And yes, shouting obscenities is always very rude! Enjoy!
It weird, but I actually made the Soda Butte correction with text, but it no longer appears. Not sure why, it must be a CZcams thing. I should probably add subtitles to that. Regarding bison, I’ll let you herd them 🤣 thanks for the visit!
Love the Lamar
It really is the best, isn't it?
Very beautiful. Going to Yellowstone in one week. I will certainly check out Lamar valley.
I hope you made it out there! What sightings did you have?
The Road Less Traveled it was the grandest area to see and hike. Loved it. Hiked lamar,slough creek all the way into Montana. Hiked hellroaring trail in and out. So many meadows, so many flowers and I saw every ani.al except a grizzled. I did have a very close encounter with a momma black and here two Cubs. Thanks for your video, I went into this are because of this video. Thanks
Great video - enjoyed it very much.
Thanks, Paula! It's such a beautiful place...
Where exactly in Lamar valley was the last shot taken of the mountains and river ? Going there this august
As you're heading through the valley from the Tower Junction entrance, there will be a point where the river comes very close to the road not too far past the ranger station. If you keep an eye out beyond the river as you move down that road, this view will reveal itself to you.
Thanks for watching!
Andrew how was it I just got back
Excellent video and thanks for the suggestion for getting off the beaten path.
Thanks for checking it out. I checked out your channel - cool stuff!
I'm going this year for a week. Normally a lot of time to see a lot of things. However I'm going with my Sisters family with 3 toddlers lol, and my grandparents. So it'll be slower to get around throughout the day. But should still be very fun! Also camping in the Tetons the whole time. I'm hoping to get a car I can drive up myself so I can go hike and such. No way I'm getting my family to hike anywhere lol
First time there was with a 5 year old, so I get it. But we covered a lot of ground!
Beautiful video of Yellowstone. I love the narration and editing.
Thanks so much! It's not hard to make Yellowstone look good, is it?
No, Yellowstone does a lot of the work! But I do enjoy videos like yours.
WyoColo Experience - More like ALL the work - LOL! You really just point your camera and let it roll
Somebody has to be there to film it, though. It's similar to the question that asks if a falling tree makes a sound when it hits the forest floor if no one is there to hear it. I ask, is Yellowstone beautiful if now one can see it?
@@wyocoloexperience7025 I say yes. But I'm dang happy to be there and prove it with my camera!
I left about $600 in fishing lures in that last spot you were talking about. Still gets me to this day
Argh!! What a bummer....The water moves pretty quickly there...I hope you caught your limit, at least!
Wow, that's a lot of flies ... since fishing in the Lamar Valley is fly fishing only.
@@billzager4874 Lamar valley is NOT fly fishing only. You need to learn your regs Bill. Start reading. www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/upload/20FishReg_web.pdf
Ah, yes, my bad, I completely forgot about the hybrids, which must not be returned to the water alive. Only the natives are all catch and release.
The dirt splotches are wallows. They unrinate in them. Elk do the same during the rut.
Good info....That was the joke I made about "something smells here", or something like that...
Great video, but local drivers are not being rude when they give buffalo jams a nudge and plow thru.
Actsually you cannot sit there all day jamming up traffic to look at buffalo for extended periods.
If you were to talk with a ranger it's what they want you to do and what they do themselves.
Hey, thanks for the visit & the comment! The rudeness was in the expletive they shouted out their window as they drove by - that's what the bleep was for. I do talk to rangers and understand the protocol, but rude is rude, right?
@@JfCLA Correct, thanks for the explanation.
God’s Country
The Great Spirit is there throughput!
getting stuck behind the buffalo will ruin your day...it sucks
Not as bad as getting stuck IN FRONT of one, though, right? ;)
I never heard of a pronghorn sheep.
Cool! You can see one at :52
@@JfCLA They are not sheep, at all. Nor are they antelope.
Google it. You’ll see a picture of the animal I’m referencing
@@teej626The Pronghorn is colloquially referred to as an “antelope” in North America.
If it were allowed, I’d love to live here💕
Nice little cabin right on the bank of the river, right where that last shot is....Perfect!
@@JfCLA Heaven on Earth!🐻🐺🦅🐿🌲🍂🍁🏞
Going there in June, hope to find ice box canyon.
Here are directions to the spot in the video: Take NE Entrance Road (212) through the valley. Once you get into the area of Soda Butte, you'll see Pebble Creek Campground turnoff. Keep on 212, and 4-5 minutes later, there will be a small parking lot on your right - pull in there. That is Soda Butte Creek parking, and Ice Box Canyon is the area across the Creek and to your right....
Thank you so much!
Want a great video, thank you.
Thank you too for watching!
Great video new subscriber here
Thanks, JG - welcome to The Road! The Lamar Velly really is one of the most beautiful places in the world, isn't it? I'll continue posted Yellowstone videos :)
Just leave the beaten path to itself.
Exactly
just got back from Yellowstone... you must go and give yourself ten days minimum
That would be Heaven!
The top comment is good about being mad at animals etc. but I had to get to the airport and someone was stopped for 7 minutes at 1 bison and we couldn’t pass him. But there are a lot of crazy drivers through Yellowstone which is not good. A lot of people speeding, passing each other and beeping. I almost saw a bison get hit by some person speeding. I also saw a car honk at a bison and it scared it. Very ignorant people out there
I agree. I have had people argue about that with me, taking the position that locals HAVE to drive through the park and don't appreciate all the jams.
im from canada in the city... how do ppl feel comfy walking and hiking near this "yellowstone" place but there is coyotes and bears and shit all around? what if you hiking and bears are there lol
It's recommended to carry bear spray if you go hiking off road...If you see a wolf or coyote, I wouldn't be concerned for safety - they want nothing to do with humans - lol!
@@JfCLA ok thanks for answering lol. Maybe someday i can go there looks wonderful
I would never worry about the Coyotes, they aren't known as dangerous at all. Altbough definitely be careful
Went for a week and zero bears and moose 😔
Honestly, I've never seen a moose in Yellowstone in 4 week long trips. I've seen the in Teton, and have heard about them up near the north entrance (near where this vid was shot)....No bears either? I saw zero bears my first trip, then one on my second from a distance, then a ton my last two....
The Road Less Traveled yep, went to Lamar and Hayden valley, drove around a lot, did hiked and no bar grizzly nor black bear
Moose tend to be pretty uncommon just in general. Where I live Moose are supposed to be in abundance, but despite all the hiking and camping I do I usually only see 2 or 4 a year. I know they are very shy to humans
Nothing worse than being tail gated ..........in Yellowstone.
I always wonder where they are trying to get to so quickly!
@@JfCLA my guess would probably be trying to get to old faithful or some geyser eruption.
Either way I think rushing around is just stressful and I think one should just enjoy the nature around you every moment your out there.
@@cimarronMC Yes. Stressful for people AND the wildlife
