Hiking 90 MILES in MOST Remote Place in AMERICA | 8 Day Backpacking Trip in THOROFARE | YELLOWSTONE

Follow our 8 day adventure into the Thorofare of Yellowstone National Park. This was by FAR our longest, wildest, and most challenging backpacking trip we've ever done. The Thorofare in Yellowstone is considered to be the most remote section of wilderness in the continental United States. Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Elk, Bison, Moose and more call this area their home. This roughly 90 mile trip tested our bodies like never before, but also allowed us to escape into the wild and create one of the most epic memories of our lives. It was truly a dream come true! Shoutout to "My Own Frontier" and "Long Wilderness Walks" for the inspiration and much needed information on trip planning--be sure to check out their KZbin pages.

This might have been the most enjoyable KZbin video I have watched. I almost didn't click on it because it was so long. Now I wish it was even longer. What a great place to backpack. If I were 30 years younger I would be doing that adventure. Thanks for sharing.

Mike, this is outstanding that you and Maggie escaped Manhattan to hike Yellowstone. I am a lifelong Wyoming citizen and have never done such a trip. Congratulations. I am so impressed that as a New Yorker you so appreciate wilderness. Always cherish it and stand up for the preservation of wilderness..please! Come back again Wyoming holds many such places!

Goes to the most remote part of America. Gets caught in traffic.

[@mandysteinback7387]

really like your documenting style. feels more like a well edited home movie instead of a super gimmicky and trendy tik tok. I do hope you are thoroughly drowning those morning campfires until they are cold to the touch before leaving camp.

As a lifelong city boy it's my dream to visit a place like this, but I know without experience it's basically suicide.

You forgot Alaska! You haven’t even seen anything close to remote! Try hiking 90 miles up there off our few roads! Old Alaskan saying “ fly an hour, or walk a week”!

WOWOWOW....HOW INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

Great video. Thank you. I was a Wilderness Patrolman for Teton Wilderness in 1966. I was at Fox Park Patrol Cabin just a few miles south of Mariposa Lake. Caught an 18 inch cutthroat there. Spent time at Hawks Rest as well. Had two horses and probably rode about a thousand miles that summer. Best summer job ever. Went back in 2003 because a friend was writing a book for NatGeo. It is Hawks Rest by Gary Ferguson. I live near northeast entrance of Yellowstone so I go by Nine Mile trailhead. I always stop there to search for a couple of grizzly bears that are often seen in the area. Thank you again for sharing.

Man, I love Beaver too. When I was a young buck I loved Beaver so much. The smell, the taste, and their just so beautiful and soft. I wore them like a hat sometimes also! Now that I'm older I still love Beaver a ton. Maybe even more than when I was younger but I just don't get to be around them as much. Now I just mainly look at pictures of them. Great video!

They are called bison. Buffalo are native to Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

Guys what a trip. I’m in my 60’s and have Lived 30 years in and just outside of Jackson. I have never been able to take a week off from my job in the summer to experience the Thorofare. It on my bucket list.

I like Northeast. Beartooth. Yellowstone is quadrants, and loop around the lake.

Mike, I devoted my Saturday night off, yes I did watching your videos plus I ended by watching this one which was simply absolutely beautiful! You both are very brave for doing that adventure. I loved that remote Ranger Station. Just gorgeous. Linda

What a great video. This was one of my favorite trips in Yellowstone and I loved seeing all these places again after 20 years.

[@e.j.thorne3349]

Great video. I did the Thorofare solo in 2002. It was epic and a life changer. Congrats.

[@fredmaguire88]

Thanks for the great video! I've taken 7 canoe trips down the Southeast Arm since 1987. 6A3 is my favorite lakeside campsite!

[@ChasingTadpoles]

What an incredible adventure! Thank you for the experience ❤

[@Randomstlhero]

I just finished the Thorofare to South Boundary a few weeks ago. This trail brought it all! I appreciated you uploading this, it was great!

[@robgrey6183]

Thorofare is beautiful country.
