Historic Yellowstone National Park Flood: reopening and wildlife update

[@TwinSister1957]

Closure is a blessing for the wild life

[@newmoon54]

Should be closed for a few years to general visitation! Wait till you see how much prettier Yellowstone would be!!!

[@lisabuckner6562]

Thanks for the information. I live in Colorado. When we had historic floods in 2013 the wildlife thrived while we rebuilt roads and bridges. Our wild spaces are getting too crowded.

[@Molly-ILJVM]

We visited Yellowstone June 6 - June 12. We were Blessed with good timing and weather. We really enjoyed the beautiful Park and wildlife.

My son is out there and said it has been awesome with out all the people roaming around.. He is in canon village and is loving it.. makes me jelly..

Makes us jealous too. Is he a concessionaire or working for the park service?

Thanks for the update and the condition of the animals. Remember these are wild animals and your in their home treat them like you would treat a guest in your home.

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

We very much agree

[@penelopelopez8296]

Closure of the park will definitely benefit the wildlife. The flooding and other climate issues is Mother Earth and the animals will adapt to it like they done before. Life has come back to Mount St. Helens. It’s natures recycling process. I think it’s nice that the wildlife will have some peace from humans for a little while.

[@loramaclean476]

Terrorist , i mean tourists can be rude. I have seen some things that they have done that would make your blood boil . They have no respect for the wildlife there . You are correct about the wildlife enjoying the peace from humans .

[@jonhawkins7510]

Enough with the climate change crap please. Yellowstone will heal itself like it has for billions of years. Humans are nothing more than a case of diaper rash living on the planet. The planet isn't going anywhere we are.

[@texasaggie8449]

I love Yellowstone. As a Texan I have been to there only 8 times but it’s my favorite place outside of Texas.

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

It’s a very special place. You’re doing quite well to have visited 8 times.

Nature happens, I hope to see it before I die. I served this country and I can't afford to see it, I guess that's the sad part. At 63 not much time left I feel. Great video it keeps my hopes alive.

Grand Tetons National Park is a wonderful place to hike and bike. I was planning on a trip to Yellowstone in August. I think I will just hang out in Grand Tetons for a bit. Nice video.

Thank you for all of the information and updates and glorious footage. I'm a 5th generation Montanan, lived in Bozeman for 3+ decades. Let Mother and Brother Nature take back the Earth! That's what Yellowstone is supposed to be about. Tourism can wait

[@georgecarberry9222]

Thank you for this video & the info it contains. Frankly, Yellowstone should've already implemented a reservation system for visiting the park. There are just too many visitors nowadays for it to be safe for the animals & the rangers to be able to insure ppl follow the rules. Ppl don't respect the park rules & regulations posted to protect them & the wildlife. It will be a little easier for rangers to do their jobs if they can control the numbers of ppl visiting the park & have more info to identify exactly who's in the park & when they're in the park. The more info rangers have about visitors the more likely visitors might be to respect the park, the rules, regulations & the park's inhabitants. Also, rangers will know where to find offenders more easily, when they're reported by other visitors, as they always should be. Everyone suffers when just a few ppl break the rules. The wildlife suffers, as well. Everyone needs to report those who offend by feeding bears, wolves &/or coyotes, as well as attempting to approach them. Everyone should know "A fed bear is a dead bear". That goes for wolves & coyotes too. If predators lose their fear of humans they'll usually end up attacking a human & have to be killed. Those who attempt to feed &/or approach a buffalo, an elk &/or a deer should also be reported as they risk their life & also the lives of others. Grazers that are in rut will attack & kill humans on foot but ppl refuse to believe or follow instructions. It's an excellent course that Yellowstone take regarding reservations w/the addition of license plate registration & various restrictions to maintain better control of & further identify visitors to the park. Sadly, our spectacular park & its amazing wildlife needs serious protection from the public at this point in time.

We will be there in a few weeks cannot wait

AWESOME; THANKS for this thoughtful view…. 👍🏼👍🏼😃😃👍🏼👣

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@wyomingadventures]

With over 5 million visitors to the Park last year the wildlife will get a break. So true about the wildlife not staying in the park all year. Every spring and fall lots of the animals migrate out and in the park. I personally wouldn't mind seeing a limited amount of people allowed in the park each year. The park is getting loved to death. Please remember to pack out what you pack in. Every time I go to the mountains I'm taking home more trash than I brought in. Please pick up any trash you see. Doesn't matter if it wasn't yours. Don't drive off the roads or trails. Our lands need to be repected by all. We're just visitors. This is their home. Respect the wildlife. Buy a telephoto lens for your camera. Best way to see the wildlife in their natural surroundings.

[@veronicahartman1751]

New subbie and thrilled with your videos.

[@kennethcallahan7313]

My first time viewing your videos and listening to you and I am now more amazed how humans are very much the problem. Thxs

[@catsmith233]

I was there in the 80s when the park basically burned to the ground. Everyone acted like it was the end of the world. The park was back the next year better than ever.

[@cannkotlarz9371]

Rode thru it a year later on horseback, was amazing to see shoots coming up thru the ground floor, the devastation was unbelievable

[@SupaG777]

I was 11 in Bozeman in 1988 when the park burned. We could barely breathe in town. Its what nature needed to do. And whatever keeps the tourists out of my state

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

Nature does have the remarkable ability to regenerate. The flood is not likely to be detrimental to the park and other natural resources. Thought there were some riverside thermal features that may have been affected.

[@jjkaiser1954]

This ridiculous fire was caused by an increasingly dry atmosphere and landmass. This was not just nature, this was not just natural, we had a hand in such a blaze that burnt down so much of this park. Please don't forget that.

[@LadyYoop]

This is so well done. Thank you for the updates and the critters are gonna do well! WHY aren't they tearing down the blighted areas and redoing them, instead of taking our critter's homes? DUH...not rocket science! This is truly awesome! Thanks again!

[@rommelbillman2872]

I’m a huge fan of our national parks. Yellowstone and Yosemite are my two home away from home get always. I remember visiting both parks in the 50’s and 60’s and how much different it was. My last visit to Yellowstone was in late July and early August in 2020. It was an absolute nightmare. Never in all my years had I seen such stupid people doing stupid things, especially when it came to interacting with the wildlife. What so many people don’t understand is when you have a negative encounter with wildlife it’s most often than not the wildlife who pay the price. There’s an unspoken call it “camper etiquette” which those of us who are avid campers pretty much know, respect and adhere to. I encourage all who are lucky enough to get the opportunity to visit our National Parks to educate themselves prior to your visit and once there PLEASE READ in information packet handed to you when you enter the park. A lot of time and effort goes into these publications, both for your safety and enjoyment as well as the safety and preservation of the environment. Let’s all work together to preserve our Nation’s treasures.

[@frankong7523]

Yes stupid people grow like crazy these days, after the 2020 election

[@PackerManForLife]

Well said!

[@shirley1413]

The animals are most likely happy that they don’t have all the noise from the vehicles and people, they got to enjoy their home for once!!!

[@vka1751]

Well done! Thank you. Perhaps the Park needs rest periods or a lower max capacity?

[@HomeInWildSpaces]

Definitely something to consider.

Good report. Urban encroachment absolutely. They come in think nothing of building on the creatures habitat then complain because there is wildlife when in truth they are the trespasser.

can you make a video on your favourite places outside YSNP?

I used to go up to Glacier alot. It'd close for wintercand you could go up for free. Now the tourists have gotten si bad the traffic alone is a pain. And now it's exspensive to get in!!! I sure mis the old days before all these ppl invaded my state.🤬😟☹️🤬😭😭😢😥

[@nancysmith-baker1813]

I am shocked as how ignorent we are . We are predators on the wildlife , even site seeing .and we are stupid not the animals . I think they need to limit visitation and people get a reservation . The flood was the best thing for the park .it was so dry . As for the birds well have to wait and see . I have never seen how stupid people can be as in the last few years with the animals . Another thing they could do is bus people in and have bus tours. But we are so spoiled , and are government is lost . Thanks for the info .

[@grantparnes]

Those clips taken from the bicycle remind me of the chaos created by anyone on a bicycle. The entire park should be bicycle or vehicle but not both. One person on a bicycle if the vehicle traffic is bad can screw up the flow for miles as people try to pass on roads barely meant for opposing cars.

[@dianewolfe3056]

There should be strict numbers and reservations needed any year to get into Yellowstone, it has turned to an overrun zoo and a lot of folks don’t know how to act.

Well it's up to the ppl and whom ever calls the shots, Need to STOP building thereB.S sites for there pleasure, Yellowstone needs to be left alone period!!! Besides roads and higher demand areas should be fixed, but the rest, NO. No offense but why does Man always wanna build, take away, destroy, demolish, call ownership, take over, etc, when from the jump Hoss it's NOT yr's.

Hi Helen. Denying the reality of how humans have knowingly (and unknowingly) damaged our planet does not change the fact that humans have knowingly (and unknowingly) done damage. Shining light on this truth, no matter how painful, is the first step to turning it around.
