Thank you Stuart for bringing us along on another incredible hike. 🌟

[@HowestheHike]

Thanks so much. More to come!

Great video! Love your enthusiasm and appreciation for the wonderful outdoors. Thanks for taking us along!

[@HowestheHike]

Thanks for watching!

[@ricklarry4212]

Some great vistas on this, Stu. You and Scott proved your mettle in your ascents here. Your commentary always provides a smile. Particularly enjoyed Scott's exchange with the horseback riders at the end. Thanks for sharing,

[@HowestheHike]

Many thanks!!!

[@stephenbouchard8075]

Thanks for sharing! Stunning views!

[@HowestheHike]

Thanks! It is SUCH a cool place. Already plans to go back and very remote in September.

[@jjinthemountains369]

Good to see you out on another hike, Stu. Yellowstone is an amazing place.

[@HowestheHike]

It really is! I have another video to post and we are planning to head back in September to do the Thorofare and South Boundary hopefully. I just love the place and can't wait to explore more of it.

[@kimchaffey9827]

Enjoyed as usual. Don't be to hard on yourself at least the hat protects you. Important when we hike a lot. I will be doing my 3rd trip this week. I'm warming up to the backcountry. Actually love it already. I'm in Kananaskis country. Looking forward to the rest of your adventures.

[@HowestheHike]

Well I was just a bit of self deprecating humor! Although it is quite a funny look :-) that said, super functional and keeps the sun off my head. I'm so excited for you! The backcountry is an amazing place with so many places to explore and so much peace to be found. Hope to run into you out there soon!

Good video Stuart!! You should check out the heather trail in manning park (with the brothers peak) and the cape scott trail up van island.

[@HowestheHike]

Thanks! And I'll check them out for sure. Looking for some new areas this summer.

[@tangenttrails]

Thanks, Stuart! It’s been awhile since I’ve watched a good Yellowstone trip video. Probably one of Joey’s.

[@HowestheHike]

Glad you enjoyed it! We are scheduled to head back in September for thorofare and south boundary!

[@tangenttrails]

@@HowestheHike That’ll be a great trip.

[@HowestheHike]

Looking forward to it. Only a couple weeks away now!

[@martybaer3050]

So you dumped the Go Pro? great picture quality on the I-phone. Wonderful hike...Good thing the Bison eats grass!

[@HowestheHike]

Yep. WAY too many GoPro issues over the years. And it fails in the cold? So much for all those skiing videos they use to promote the thing.... And thanks! Yeah, Bison, Moose, Elk during rut all concern me more than bears. This bull was not interested in us at all but SUCH an impressive animal! I sure need more Yellowstone!!
