A Journey to the Head waters of the Yellowstone River Episode 2

Head waters of the Yellowstone River
Episode 2
Finding the upper head waters of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming on horseback. This journey will take us through the Bridger Teton & Shoshone Wildernesses. Up and over Deer Creek Pass down into the Thoroughfare Drainage to the Yellowstone River and Bridger Lake. Then up the river to the head waters where water starts on the mighty Yellowstone River. Then we will travel across the Buffalo Plateau and down Marston Pass to the South Fork of the Shoshone River, and travel out along the Canyons of the Shoshone River that Buffalo Bill help build in the 1880s
This will be a 3 episode video to show the massive journey it took to reach the head waters of the Yellowstone River where water starts and journey back. I tried to make a short version video of this journey but could not. It was just too wild, too big, and too grand of a landscape. So please watch all three episodes and enjoy this trip or Journey, to find the head waters of the Yellowstone River as we did.
We traveled by horseback over 3 mountain passes, three water sheds like the Yellowstone River that lead to the Missouri River. Head waters of the Snake River to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also the Shoshone River that continues down to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We traveled by horseback 126 miles in some of the wildest county in the lower 48 starts. Enjoy our journey on the biggest screen you have.
Please comment and share your feedback with us. We would love to hear from you.
Be sure to like and share if you enjoyed this video. and above all thanks for tuning in. More wilderness horseback trips to come.
Stay curious and explore
Special thanks to Lee, Hunter and Alex of Livingstone outfitters in Cody Wyoming for there help in making this trip happen [phone]

So cool that the horses get to run free and will come back when you call them like a pet dog 👏

[@cowdogflicks]

yes it is

[@franhunziker94]

that so demonstrates the magic relationship you have with these stunning horses and mules!!

[@hanksbud2544]

Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful scenery, excellant photography.

I rarely watch all of longer videos. But, I watch every minute of yours. Great camera and editing skills. “Pilgrim, can you skin grizz”? Sure glad that critter didn’t cause you trouble. “When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree; or I’ll begin to wander and soon you know where I will be.” Sure appreciate you sharing this great adventure. Wow!

[@cowdogflicks]

you bet Bob episode 3 coming soon

I'm amazed at how stable the horses are. I suppose some of the excitement is edited out but those trails get really rough and the thunder and all. Beautiful video. What a country!

I love the timeless quality of your wilderness rides. The trails you take through magnificent landscapes and the mix of video & photography make compelling viewing. I think I have now caught up with your back catalogue after finding the first Yellowstone headwaters video and have enjoyed everyone. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to the next one. Dusty trails to you all from over the pond.

[@DaveHoffmancowboyhiker]

I thought I knew something about the Yellowstone. I thought it began where the river comes out of the lake at fishing bridge. I didn't know it was also on the south side of the lake too! Now I have a new adventure to go find!

[@cowdogflicks]

sounds good

[@albertsumner7081]

I was working as a farrier , at Rosevelt camp back in the mid 70’s . Never got to see more than a small area around Hell Roaring Creek . I’ve enjoyed watching all you videos . This makes me want to come and see more ! Truly a spectacular place on earth .

Thank you for these videos! I traveled that same trail in 1978, going the opposite direction. The first time I shod a horse was at that big campsite where the Thorofare meets the Yellowstone, someone had packed in an anvil and left it there. Wonderful memories! Nothing like a thunderstorm up high. Loved watching you folks throw your hitches, well done on the video production as well!

Thanks for the video. Great pictures of the Thorofare and Younts Peak. I'm a history nut, so I am a fan of the pioneers like Harry Yount. His story would make a good movie. Cooked a steak below the Pinnacles with my grandson and sat there and wondered what was on the other side. Now I know.

[@Ziv-pm6ip]

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us! I can recall the ancient feeling of the Yellowstone Park and that was the area the tourists visit. The one thing I noticed about this series is the lack of wildlife. Do you think it's because of the wildfires or because they can hear the mule trains long before you would see any? Thank you so much for posting ;) rides of a lifetime for sure!

[@DjCjFoto]

Simply amazing, I enjoyed it a lot! BTW, can you describe, please, why you don't free up horses as soon as you get to the camp, to give them more time to feed up? It looks like, you were doing it when it gets dark, and through the night. Would they be roaming too far from you during the day light, or something else matters? Thanks!

[@cowdogflicks]

No horses know a habit and they want it that way it also gives them time to cool down
