- We got a super late start on our first day at the Grand Tetons, but took a beautiful hike to Hidden Falls and Inspiration point, witnessed a wildfire, had an awesome dinner overlooking the Tetons, and shared some tips about visiting the Tetons/National Parks.

I stayed in a climbers cabin under the Grand Tetons and woke up in the morning to a field of lavender lupine. Stunning magic moment, it was beyond beautiful. What an amazing trip it was to several National Parks. And you guys brought back such memories for me. Always great videos. I just finished your Italy videos, and we both went to many of the same cities, what a great series💚💚
That does sound magical! Thanks for watching
Oh and I have never seen this channel before but it popped in my news feed on my Pixel, glad to have found it
Oh nice!!! Thank you Pixel lol! Glad to have you here 🤗
Can't wait to visit grand Teton for ourselves
You're going to love it!
We really need to hit the Grand Tetons again. I barely remember it at all. Such beautiful views! Thanks again!
We really want to go back! Hopefully this summer 🤞🤞
Some time back I took on the project of following your adventures. I started with your oldest vlogs, and have now arrived at this one, the first one in which you visited a place that I have also visited. At Jenny Lake I was videoing a mother and baby moose and stepped off a ledge and strained an ankle. Great adventure!
Thanks for bearing with us on those earlier videos. They can be hard to watch sometimes! 😂
We're sorry to hear about your ankle. That's definitely a situation where you'd get lost in what you're doing
Thanks for watching!
Hi Guys. Great Job 😊 we are planning our trip in August and we are getting a lot of Ideas from your videos. Greetings from Cologne, Germany. Chris & Pam Travel Buddies
You should most definitely go to Wyoming again and hike to Emerald Lake via Eldeman Trail. It is located in the Big Horns and is such a beautiful hike. I’m sure you would love it!
We loooooved Wyoming! We cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much for the hike recommendation!
You two have become my favorites!!!! I found you while in the midst of planning a trip with my adult daughter this summer to Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. This was the only trip I ever took with my Dad 40 years ago in 1981 when I was 21 and so I wanted to reprise that trip with my daughter. We also added the Badlands, Wind Cave, Canyonlands and Arches. Your videos were super helpful, entertaining and inspirational! Not too mention that I felt like you were traveling friends and many times while on the trip with my daughter last month, I would find myself saying, here's what A plus K did, or recommends or suggests etc. etc. My daughter would just laugh and she'd say, "Mom, it's not like you really know them!" Haha. You make it feel as though I do!
Wow, what an amazing trip to take your daughter on! SO happy we could be a part of it with our videos and were able to be your virtual friend along with you! ❤️❤️
Seeing your vlog just brightens my Day! Thanks!
Aw thanks Diana! 💗💗
Grand Teton is the only place I've seen a wild grizzly. It was right off of a main road. Tons of people were out of their cars, taking pictures. The rangers were losing their minds at people, telling them to get back. It was just cruising along, being a celebrity for an hour.
How cool!
I’m so glad I found you guys! You guys are very enjoyable to listen too. We frequent Wowoming 😂 and especially Tetons! Smart to slow down! Savor and enjoy and get your rest! Teton sunrises are the best. Only place I get up early before the sun 😂! Plus it’s when the moose have breakfast.
We’re so glad you did too! Thank you for watching and for the kind words ❤️ What are your favorite hikes in the area?
Great adventure, guys!
Going there this weekend. Some awesome tips I got! Thank you and looking forward more adventures! 👍
Have an amazing time! I bet it’ll be beautiful with the fall colors and snow they got recently 😍😍😍
Loving Wyoming that water looked crystal clear , those passes seem fantastic value 👌 can’t wait for the next episode wish they were an hour long 🙈 👏👏👏
Biggest regret: not getting out on that water! We are 100% going to try to go back next summer! And you’re so nice haha, thank you! 🤗
Good views have fun!...singing at the end the best 🤗
Lol! Waiting for CZcams to get mad at us for sounding TOO MUCH like Beyoncé! 😜🤣
Beautiful Park. Looking forward to watching part 2 tomorrow on my TV.
Thanks Don! Part two is extra beautiful!!!
We are going to Grand Teton and Yellowstone this coming Friday for 4 days and can’t wait! Driving there from Oklahoma! Haven’t been to the area since I was 13 (1984) but I remember how beautiful it is. New subscriber and I love your videos! Great job. Thank you!!
Have an incredible trip Scott! This is still one of our favorite trips we have been on in the US!
Just back from Tetons it was amazing experience!
Ah nice! We must have just missed you!
You guys are great!! Love your videos 💖
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Glad you guys made it to inspiration point! I recently did the hike to hidden falls, but it was too late in the evening to press on to inspiration point. We did see 3 moose on the hike though! Thanks for sharing!! Love your van!!
Oh wow, three moose?! That’s amazing! We did see a moose the next morning (on tomorrow’s vlog), but would’ve loved to see more! And thank you so much!
Yay welcome to Jackson and the Tetons!!! Luckily no structures were lost and nobody was hurt! I live right near that fire 😮 I used to live in Laramie and that was a lovely town as well. Glad you tried the pad thai fries they’re my favorite! Van life is my dream I’m so excited for you guys. Dinner with that view was amazing!
Ahhh no way! We were so close to you! So so happy the fire got handled and no one was hurt. That was scary!
And omg those pad Thai fries were SO good! We loved Wyoming so much, you live in an amazing state! 💕
We enjoy watching your vidoes and love visiting the Jackson Hole area! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
You can see bison on Catalina Island off the coast of Southern California (one of the Channel Islands, which is also a national park). My husband and I went camping on Catalina and had a bison in our campground, coolest thing ever to see!
No way! We had no idea that they existed on Catalina Island! We have heard it’s beautiful there and we’d love to go! It’s so cool to see them in real life after only ever seeing photos or them on tv 😍
Lots near Mount Rushmore too
Can’t wait to make it there too! We ended up seeing tons of them and even had a surprise encounter 😬
Yeah we are in the road! Great hike footage. It’s definitely fire season in California too😲
Thanks for working so hard to get the super videos out❤️
Thank you for the support Allison! Can’t wait to share more from Wyoming-we loved it! And we are so thankful the fire wasn’t worse. The PNW (and Wyoming!) got very lucky with fires this year. Hopefully they haven’t been too bad in CA!
Adventures of A plus K our amazing firefighters are doing a great job and saving lives and property 🙏
Firefighters are the best! So much respect for what they do! 👩🏼🚒👨🏻🚒
So glad to have found y'all! Just subscribed.
Super helpful! I'm about to head to Grand Teton tomorrow, hoping to make a video as well!
Have the best time! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Hi A + K! We are here at the Grand Tetons and viewed your vlog many times for “research”. 😉 Just know that you have helped us so much on our trips. We are grateful for you two. 😀 My husband and 5 yr old kept hearing me say “Adventures of A+K did this and did that”. Haha! 🤣 THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO. You are making a difference in people’s lives. 💗
That made us smile really really big! That’s exactly what we strive to do and it makes us smile super big to read that! We hope you’re having an amazing trip!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Thanks to you two we are. I am into coffee and ice cream like you both. We had huckleberry ice cream in Yellowstone. Today we took the ferry to Jenny Lake. I even went to “Made” the unique store in downtown Jackson. Our trip is patterned after yours so thanks for all the tips and recommendations. You two are the bestest best (3 including Kona)! 😃
I love Jenny Lake! We took day trips there all the time growing up.
Did you hear the Elk bugle? Fall is mating season and the bull elk bugle to attract a mate. It's incredible to hear!
We would love to see that!
New subscriber here. A friend told me about you guys and I really enjoy your channel. Lots of information and beautiful footage. My wife and I will be going to the Tetons for a third time in July. Its an amazing place. Will be viewing all your videos. Thanks!
A big thank you to both you and your friend! Have an amazing time in the Tetons! We are hoping to catch a glimpse of them again this summer 😍
I passed through there on the way to Yellowstone on a road trip this summer, I will definitely be going back. I want to spend just a week or so on Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. It is beautiful up there
It is so beautiful there! We are a bit bummed we didn’t spend more time in the Tetons. We were there almost a week, but ended up working more than we thought and definitely need to go back and enjoy it more! We loved what we saw though!
@@AdventuresofAplusKI went on a two week trip that was jammed pack so I didn't get to see a lot. All the way from Wyoming to Oregon/Washington and down to northern California was just awesome
Wow, epic trip!!! We lived in WA and love the west coast! 😍
@@AdventuresofAplusK I got to try my first seafood at the port in Seattle, the tartar sauce was so much better than the bottle stuff. What I loved the most was how dense the trees were in the pnw
Sooo many trees!!! 🌲 We will be back there in a week and cannot wait!
Beautiful!!! I’m so happy that I get to see such cool and beautiful places through you all! Also, so happy to hear the fire is out...scary!
That was soooo cool that you met one of your followers...what are the chances of that happening?! 🤗
Looking forward to seeing more of you two!
Super crazy to run into someone there! And we have made some friends on the road because of our van’s logo which is pretty cool!
Excited to show you the next hike!
@@AdventuresofAplusK It's really nice to meet people...happy for you guys!
Nice video guys! That place is beautiful, hopefully the fire situation is taken care of now!
There were a few hot spots over the next couple days, but it seemed 100% put out when we left thankfully! 🙌🏼
@@AdventuresofAplusK awesome that's good to hear!
Jenny Lake Trail is the most gorgeous hike I’ve done in Fall, not to mention the bulging elks everywhere . I was a very unique experience❤️
The Tetons are so gorgeous! 😍
Wow-oming !
YES! Thank you for using my joke and making me feel like less of a dork! 😜
Funny thing, Grand Teton was also my 17th National Park. I was there in July. Great video!
Twins! 😉 It’s such a beautiful park!
I also hiked all the way around Jenny Lake and didn't take the boat. Twins for sure :)
Yay, using our legs ftw! (Although I bet that boat ride is so pretty!)
I wanna see you guys too. I wish someday you come to Japan. From Japan.
We would LOVE to go to Japan! We hope to make it to Asia next year!
Planning a trip here, so I looked up the grocery store mentioned.... its been bought out by Whole Foods now. lol Still good info you've passed on.
Oh interesting. We hope you have a great trip!
November 2022: your latest videos you have been talking about how burned out you are, I think you should hear the wisdom of your past self! Take a listen at 2:15 timestamp. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are getting some much needed down time!
We'd love to take more time off when we feel we need it, but it's tough when our income is based on creating content.
It's a tough balance we have to follow.
We are enjoying our holidays and time at home!
Please post pictures of your van ,would like ideas . We would love to do this
We have a van tour on CZcams and photos on our website 😃
Maybe it's just me but Adam appeared to be channeling Clark Griswold at the start of this video. Lol
Glenn Staines “It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. You're gonna have fun, and I'm gonna have fun... We're all gonna have so much fun we're gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles!”
@@adam11887 lol expletives deleted I'm a little older than you guys but I loved that movie and your accidental impression made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
What month were you there at Grand Tetons?
So funny.....as an Australian living in India I have always wanted to see a yak....seen! NOW to see a bison! Oh and a moose!
Just wait! In the next few vlogs you'll get to see both (virtually)! And now we will be adding a yak to our wish list of animal sightings!
Adventures of A plus K 😂😂 Enjoy
I’m so glad I found you guys we are going to grand Teton next weekend for the first time with our kids and I was wondering if the hike from hidden Falls to inspiration point was dangerous I saw a picture and it looked really steep with Ricky drop offs did you feel safe we are not avid hikers
No we didn't think that hike was dangerous. We saw people of all ages on the trail. We hope you have a great time!
If you need more ideas of things to do we have a guide with itineraries on our website! adventuresofaplusk.com/3-days-grand-teton-national-park/
Crikey it's a wild Katherine be careful and don't get to close or she'll rip ya leg off!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahaha she is hungry for CZcams trolls! 🤣
@@AdventuresofAplusK oh dear I promise I'll be nice!!! Haha haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@staino46 Hahaha you're awesome Glenn, don't you worry! We were just talking about how great you are the other day!
@@AdventuresofAplusK lol hope it was all positive 😎😎😎
Of course! One of our earliest supporters and we are so grateful! 😃
Where did u get the checklist and national parks map? Its really cool!
Hi Iris! We got it on Etsy! www.etsy.com/listing/601895364/national-parks-map-of-the-united-states
@@AdventuresofAplusK thank you so much! Me and my husband are just about to start with our national parks visits and hoping to visit as much as we can. You are such an inspiration. Love your channel!
Thank you so much for watching! We hope you enjoy the national parks as much as we do!
🖒🖒🙌💁🌷
🏔🎉🙌🏼
I hate you to in a good and jealous way 😁
I could recognise in Disney World once. It was very odd and almost a statistical improbability. Cool though.
You have to fit all the normal life crap in so it makes sense to go a bit slower.
You do realise the person holding the bear spray has to face the bear, right? 😯😯
Yeah fitting in normal life + vlog life has been a bit challenging so far, but we are finding a balance! Trying to avoid filming on work days, but not super successful at that so far! We will get it!
And I’m ready to fight that bear! 😉 (and by fight I mean yell and cry lol)
Why not buy a electric scooter or foldable bike or electric skateboard for free rides when hiking.
Not all trails allow bikes and we really enjoy using our legs!
West Wyoming is beautiful!
