My Solo Trip to Yellowstone & Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming

[@joyspawworld]

Wow, thanks for giving the inspiration to travel solo coz I have no choice, my husband of 36 1/2 years died a few months ago, and I have to go on traveling alone. I am an introvert person so I would not have any problem being alone just need to have the confidence to travel solo. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@joyspawworld]

@@bicyclesammi0757 thanks so much

[@Sun-Soul]

So sorry for your loss. Lost my person 4 years ago and am also flying solo now. The world is muted without my best friend and life partner by my side, but still so beautiful. One day at a time..... you can do it! 💜

:D I was born and raised there to I still live there. I'm glad to see someone else that's lived here still like it so much people are not like they used to be 😕

[@DianeSturlinXX]

@@ProductOfChaos I have not been back home since 1982 when my daddy died. I just couldn't face going back home for a long time and then when I decided I could I knew I couldn't afford it anymore. 😂 We used to have a log house on the corner of Cache and Kelly but I think they've tore that down now.

Your photography and videography simply CANNOT be beat! There’s truly nothing like your shots that inspire me to make a trip of my own out there one day :)

I am 70, loved traveling alone when i was younger, even in my 50s, but know don't like driving and sciatica bothers me a lot. I applaud you, its definitely something I'd be doing again if I was younger

[@AprilAdventuring]

I appreciate that your travel vlogs are so serene, beautifully shot, and informative without being list-y or gimmicky! You were one of the reasons for me starting my own KZbin channel and I get ideas & inspiration from every one of your videos

[@Tracywhited2]

I took notes !!! My Mr. just retired and we are actively RV shopping. This was such a beautiful vid but also so much great information! Thanks so much. ❤️

[@Darian--]

Beautiful trip! Curious how many days you spent in Yellowstone?

[@RachelTakeman]

Awesome video!!! Did you go car camping for this trip??

[@mariamali104]

I was in Wyoming in early August and can’t wait to go back. Some how it looks even more beautiful when you went.

[@EricaSager]

Every single one of these shots was INCREDIBLE, but the shot at 9:41 warmed my soul

[@raihanrozaili4722]

Hi Allison, I just have to say this video was absolutely breathtaking! I'm a University student from Singapore who spent 6 months in Idaho 2 years ago and this video immediately brought back beautiful memories of Northwestern US. Growing up in a concrete jungle, this video looks something straight out of heaven! The cinematography in this video might just be the best I've seen (I thought your Alaska video was already hard to beat!) and every single shot was absolutely stunning. I can't imagine the number of hours spent capturing the right shot and editing this video! What you're doing of capturing incredible pictures and going on solo outdoor adventures is what I dream of doing one day back in the US and it must definitely bring much fulfilment and a greater perspective of life. Keep up the incredible work and know that you've got a huge audience in awe of your content! - Your fan from sunny Singapore :)

[@antoniosoria9433]

Raihan, I hope you can return to the US and do wonderful cinematography too! I love the diversity of landscapes here in the US, particularly the West!

[@AntManBee19]

I spent about the same amount of time in Yellowstone and less at the Tetons about 4 years ago. Your video really captured it plus more. It was a solo tour for me also. Retired 65+ at the time. Thanks.

[@btwk44]

[@loveandlive12]

Watching your solo trip videos the past few years gave me the confidence and motivation to start taking solo trips myself! I took my first one late last year, and I am planning my second one sometime within the next few months. It is so empowering and is a great experience I recommend for all! Keep posting these videos! :)

[@AshBhaidasna]

I am watching this video the forth time and can't get enough. The quality and content is so better than Expedia has on YT. Thank you for making the videos, I binge watch your channel and oh my you sold me Alberta, 🇨🇦 ....Guys If you haven't seen her Calgary video, please do yourself a favor and treat yourself. Thank you Allison. Hugs 🤗

[@cpa623]

I just saw this - both a year after you posted it and exactly a year since I visited YNP and GT. This gave me all the feels. It was the most amazing place I have ever visited and I live for the day I can go back. You captured both parks perfectly.

[@Levelheads4421]

I’m so grateful to have visited both of these parks. Definitely my favorite place in the US so far

[@sarabrown-janowiak1892]

Wyoming is the most gorgeous state I have been been to. Love it and want to revisit, but it's been 15 years! Thanks so much for sharing and letting me relive it until I get back out there. Gorgeous photography and videography! 📸

[@bandchiick97]

I visited Grand Teton back in 2013 and I still think about it everyday. Will forever be the most breathtaking place I've ever traveled to and cannot wait to go back.

This is the first a complete video about Yellowstone, many thanks for share you itenirary and many options yo enjoy!

[@gregs5845]

Love the video. I went in September 2019. The visitors and roads that time of year was not crowded so that made for more enjoyable trip. If you are going to see wildlife, you may want to research the migration pattern of animals. You may not see many animals depending on what time of year you go.

[@janeybakarbessy2330]

First time seeing your vlogs/movies? And finally someone that shows how beautiful the world can be. Loved it and this is one of the reasons I wanna stop earlier with working and travel through Wyoming, Idaho, etc... Beautiful filming! Thank you.

[@Spectre_430]

Fantastic video, from content to colors to commentary, and everything in between. Thanks for inspiring a fellow introvert and for helping my research for my own Wyoming trip! Keep up the amazing work Allison!

[@suespatches7881]

GREAT video of this beautiful area. We live nearby in Idaho and have been to Yellowstone and the Tetons many times. We raised our kids here. We all got t to the parks once a year. Our now grown children got bored with this repetitive thing, but now they live all over the USA and talk of what they saw here as school kids. Thanks, Allison, for getting up early to take photos. This video is beautiful. I'm gonna share it w/family.

[@irishpolyglot]

I was there last week. Thought I just missed you, but saw you went in the fall. It was also lovely in May!

[@kwonlee6123]

during the pandemic, when they were slowly allowing people out in public two summers ago... i took my toyota sienna minivan, and took off on a solo road trip similar to this. Left Seattle, drove to Bozeman MT, then to Yellowstone camped out just outside of the park, drove down to Grand Teton and Jackson Hole back through Idaho and Oregon... one of the most memorable trips I've ever had. Highly recommend everyone to see that part of the United States.

[@sarahr5513]

Can you PLEASE make a video on being safe while traveling alone?? I admire you for being so adventurous!!

I did an internship at Yellowstone when I was in college. It was one of the best summers I ever had. If you like hiking, I recommend some backcountry trips. There is so much untouched land and beautiful views. I can’t wait to go back.

[@noraxu7541]

Good for you for getting there so early! I was gawking at how empty it was in your video, usually it’s packed

[@amberlaunstein]

Thanks for all the tips! We just got back from our trip to Yellowstone and grand Tetons and I appreciated your perspective

Lol when you first pronounced Teton I was like wait have I been saying it wrong my whole life? So it was funny when you started questioning yourself later.

Same... I was like maybe it is suppose to be tee-tin?!?!??!

[@Fruitopee]

I am actually moving to Washington in a month, and we'll be driving through the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone on our way up there. I decided to go ahead and take a couple days so we can explore the parks, and after watching this video, I'm even more excited to do it. Thank you for this video!

Did you stay in an Airbnb or a hotel? And what area? I stayed in an Airbnb in Victor, Id and went to Teton and then I stayed in a hotel in West Yellowstone. I can’t wait to go back. You should sell some of your shots. I’d definitely buy them!

[@jimgreen5788]

Allison, I just watched this being reviewed by someone, and have to say that you did a great job of taking us along. It took me 3 times to actually visit here, and then part of it was closed off. The first time was back in '58 when I was 11 years old, and the winding mountain road with no guard rails at the time really made my dad nervous. So, we turned back. The #2 time was about 15 years ago, when in the middle of the summer, it snowed all day. I finally made it back in '19, and sadly, although I saw a lot, the Lamar Valley, as well as Yellowstone Lake, was closed for some reason. If I remember correctly, it was long needed road repairs.🤨

As a touring musician, also from Washington, I've seen so much of this beautiful country of ours. Though there is SO much more I haven't been able to see! Since Covid has about destroyed the entertainment industry, as well as getting in front of this new administration, inflation, and everything else that will follow, I have been converting a church shuttle bus into an RV for me and my Blue Heeler, June. Like Allison, I am an introvert by nature. Life is poetry in motion so I will plan my 'retirement' around travels. Seeing the REAL World that's around me! The secondary plan is to drive to Belize and live there (Central America) when they reopen the borders to do so. Allison, well done on the videos & photography. I hope to meet more people like yourself on my travels, instead of the grumpies i see daily these days. Our soul needs Nurturing and Love, too.

There's a binocular post that some family put up for a memorial right before you made the right on Wilson road to Teton village on a foot bridge over the river which you can use for free and see in every direction as far as you want which is really nice.
