If we have learned anything traveling full time for 6 years, it is that no matter how many times you visit the Grand Tetons, it is still magical and breathtaking EVERY SINGLE TIME!
And - there is always something new to see and experience even when you have been to the same location multiple times. It is one
of our favorite parts of this lifestyle.
After all of the hikes and favorite boondocking spots in this area, we couldn’t believe there could actually be an experience that would top everything we have done in these beautiful mountains.
Grand Targhee Ski Resort offers boondocking at their facility for $35 a night and offers rides on the Dreamcatcher chair lift for $25/person in the summer and fall to reach the most spectacular view of the Grand Tetons we have ever seen!
The chair lift runs from 9am-5pm (10am -5pm if you are bringing a mountain bike up with you) and a one day ticket allows for 3 trips up the mountain on the lift. The ride itself was absolutely stunning and so very peaceful. But the real treat awaits you as you walk about 50 feet past the lift and summit house to see the back side of the Tetons.
One of the employees told us to keep hiking past the summit viewpoint out to Mary’s Saddle. We were so excited to see the view from the top of that ledge, but we realized 3/4 of the way into the hike that we had forgotten something very important and needed to turn back. Don’t make the same mistake we did. Always be sure you are prepared for any excursion to turn into a longer hike than anticipated and pack accordingly!
Stay tuned for next week as we see if we can grab a first come, first serve site at Craters of the Moon National Monument! Be sure to like and subscribe and click on the bell icon for notifications when we release new video!

Lilly cracked me up when she said they never found their someday.

[@snowbirdlady7221]

I was concerned when I saw you intended to do a longer hike. Yes, there are lots of grizzlies around Targhee. I came so close to retiring there and found an amazing and COOL log house in Tetonia with the views! It was rather remote, but high up enough to have the views.....in the end I decided it was not a good place to be a single elderly lady, but oh how I wanted to be there! Glad you enjoyed the hike.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It would be a spectacular place to live but definitely something to consider if you were to live in that area. Glad we turned around, too!

[@sherriewilson4379]

First trip to Snowy range this summer, it was beautiful. We stayed at Vedewoo between Cheyenne and Laramie, very cool

[@sky02148]

I love your videos, Corey you should be making movies. Your skill are above and beyond. Thanks for sharing. Love ya, Nancy

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you, Nancy, for your extremely kind words! They are so appreciated!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

“They never find their someday” 🤣 I too, had forgotten how quiet a peaceful chairlift was (until you had to get off). Gorgeous views! Wise choices too.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That kid never fails to make us laugh! And that chairlift ride was the highlight of our summer!

[@thomasheffernon3276]

Love the Tetons, I am sure it's where God lives ❤ Thanks so much for sharing 😊 Love your videos 😊 Bless you all

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I get emotional every time I see the Tetons. There is not way to describe it to people who have never seen them before. I think places like this are a glimpse of Heaven! - Jess

[@soniamurdock5825]

Alta WY is where I am from. My uncle was one of the biggest influencers of building that resort. The little cemetery on the north side of the road coming down the canyon is where my grandparents, parents and uncles and aunts are buried and where we have our burial plots. The Little Rock church is where attended church when I was a child. It is truly the most beautiful place on earth. Also. Those mountains are whew Yellowstone dumps their naughty bears so you probably made the correct decision on not getting too far from “civilization” and the view from that side is by far the best view.

[@johndoyle6697]

Beautiful photography as usual.

[@theathjr]

“I’ve never ridden down a chair lift” . That made me laugh. Safe Travels Amigos

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It was such a cool experience! Thanks so much for watching!

[@kayperkayful]

Your family inspired us to take our 15 year old grandson on an epic adventure to go from Coast to Coast this past summer. I had watched every video you ever produced and learned so much. Not only on how to address issues that arise while traveling with a travel trailer but, how to do it with teenagers and l am forever grateful to you for that. We made it 7 weeks of our planned 11 week vacation before our trailer was t boned in corn country Ohio and vacation was over. While the accident was so terrifying to the point that we will never tow a trailer that big again, l can’t stop watching your videos of your wonderful family out there living life. The videos bring tears to my eyes filled with joy. I love your girls, l wish only the very BEST for you all and if you ever get to southern Oregon again, l would love to be your person tour guide. Keep doing what you’re doing ❤

[@carlsanders4680]

I know now you can fix a photo on the computer in a couple of minutes. I miss the days of 35mm film where you had to fix every thing in the dark room. Where 5 seconds in the fix could make or break a photo. If it was broke, start over. Time consuming. But, if you were right. What a feeling !!! Your composition is your key Corey. Always spot on. What needs to be in focus is. Background, in focus or not is spot on. Time laps are really cool. Aerial photos are spot on. When it comes to photography, there is nothing you do wrong.

[@joyofanimation]

Beautiful view! This is at the top of my bucket list now. Thank you!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Really hope you are able to make it there SOMEDAY! It was spectacular!

[@veronica0406]

The night sky at Craters is spectacular! ✨

[@jolenecreech7648]

Fantastic view! So glad you guys turned around! 😊❤

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We are as well! Something didn't feel right so it was time to turn back!

[@JJs-ClassC-Adventures]

Looks like a great hike. I am so glad some chair lifts are open outside of ski season. It's such a nice way to access hiking trails.

[@johndark4728]

Be sure to go back this winter and SKI this place. Better yet, work up there all season.

[@user-xt2zr7dj6u]

My wife watches your channel all the time but I just saw this episode today. We lived in Idaho and spent a lot of time on that hill, winter and summer. We have a special attachment to Grand Targhee. I thought that you might like to know that the flat area you saw on the back side of Fred's Mountain is called 'Beard's Wheat Field". Apparently Mr. Beard, when he first saw it, thought it looked like a good place for a wheat field. I guess he didn't know that it is solid rock. And just up the next hill, where you decided not to go, is the site of one of the high ski cliff jumps ever done. You can look it up on KZbin.

[@PSC9634]

We were glad you listened to your gut on the bear situation. When we were in Yellowstone this year, a person was attacked in West Yellowstone. The views were spectacular. Thanks for sharing. Condolences to Maine. Our heart breaks for the senseless loss of life.❤

[@cumminsdieselgt]

Cool, neat, fantastic, all those descriptions, Corey! Great, great video, and seeing that fox in the parking lot was enough. No bears needed! Glad all are safe. Happy travels!!!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you so much for your kind compliments! Glad you enjoyed it! And the fox was great! Glad we turned around.

[@karenenglish4900]

Wish we knew of this side of The Tetons when we were there 5 years ago. With limited travels from GA, I don't know of chance to be there in person. Thanks for showing us the less busy beautiful side. Stay safe.

[@teressarenslow5992]

"Better than Disney!" I love it!!

[@1MillionMileRoadTrip]

We stayed a week in the upper Teton view, you are correct, best Boondocking location in the lower U.S.

[@barbarapalmer268]

Spectacular views.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

The best of Tetons we have ever seen!

[@captainkirk8806]

Your videos are always so beautiful and inspiring. Right now, our family is going through a rough time as we lose my father-in-Law to lung cancer. This video gave me 22 minutes to escape. Thank you!! I don't know what was said about bats, but Bats are one of the most misunderstood animals. People imagine them to be blood-sucking, rabies-ridden, hair-tangling, night-stalking, loathsome creatures. The truth is, very few bats (less than 1 percent) carry rabies. Even fewer bats are bold enough to come near people, and most feed on pollen or insects. Bats can eat up to 1,000 mosquitos an hour.

[@SCWanderer]

Another video where my brain just hurts when it ends. I really don't think a full length movie would be long enough. It's almost like "I can't stare long enough" at your videos. 😅 I hate that our 'Someday' has to wait until retirement. I know it's not supposed to, but it does, then we can stare at these things for ourselves. Love you're videos.

[@philsmith6583]

Guys , save your dollars , we have these in use in the summer up Mt Ruapehu, an active volcano with stunning views and NO BEARS haha, in New Zealand, we'd love to have you.

[@meepmopmoop1839]

We always say, "When in doubt, pinky out!" 🤣

[@natangell8470]

we spend most of a week there a few years ago when our travelling companions motorhome developed shifter problems when we stopped at the top of Teton pass for photos. A beautiful place to be broke down

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So glad you have gotten to see our favorite mountain range!

[@Brazosfishing]

I always carry a 10mm

[@tombrown8522]

We are doing Tetons & Yellowstone next summer. I've checked all state and federal laws where we plan on hiking and with my valid carry permit, it looks like I'm all legal. I also plan on having my 10mm handy!

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Always a good idea!

[@673Piper]

Beautiful area, AND always listen to your gut 👍

[@FindingOurSomeday]

It was incredible! And we totally agree!

[@dennisdickson2892]

I am retired and work in either Yellowstone or Grand Teton every summer. I recommend having bear spray any time you are outside in those two parks as well as Glacier or Denali. Twice I have walked out of a park building and have been startled by a bear.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That was what was strange for us, we always have bear spray when we do anything out west. We weren’t even in a rush to head out the door🤷‍♂️

[@lindamaurice9923]

Glad you clarified about bat. You worried me. Glad your dtr is ok.

[@dorothytokarczyk2644]

We have skied there and have been on that chair lift. So cool to see I the summer.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I bet it is incredible in the winter! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@1adventure.outdoors]

Ya'll are sooo fun to watch! Another great video! ❤

[@randlayman2668]

When in doubt,trust your gut. Great video and another place to visit once I retire next spring, love your descriptive vocabulary it all works for me!!!

[@jimandellenmeadows6244]

Have to agree, when in doubt turn back. Nice quick stop. Seems like a good place to visit. You guys cracked us up with the one-liners. Looking forward to the store opening. See what's new.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Definitely not worth the risk. This was one of our favorite view points of a mountain range in a long time. We can't wait for you to see what is new in the store this year! Store is open TOMORROW with the release of this week's video!

[@jimandellenmeadows6244]

@FindingOurSomeday Yea! For the store. Video coming on Monday?

[@ldawn1540]

Always go with your gut, and good lesson to ditch the instagram view and be safe. Kudos.

[@richardmeyer7649]

Amazing view. Always look forward to your videos. They never disappoint.

[@roadhog6603]

Epic. We are full time RV'rs and roam the country hiking all the best trails. America the Beautiful. Amazing.

[@pattinewman5186]

I'm so thankful you and your family's at home are ok. Thank you for such beautiful videos.. Corey !

[@carlsanders4680]

Love your channel. I went to the Art Institute of Atlanta for photography when I was young, late 20's. While I was into my career as a union ironworker. Am 65 now. That is when I loved taking pictures, taking stills, nature, and learned to love black & white photos. Infrared was also fun but hard to get right as you want in the dark room. Point being. Saying goes, the cream rises to the top. Well my son, the way you shoot you are at the top of the cream pile. The way you shoot the landscape you are just begging us to go there. There are no words. You are the Ansel Adams of the RV channels. Thank You !!!

[@BK-dv1hh]

I’m with you , Lilly, after many, many trips to my favorite mountains, the back side is my all time most enjoyable views!

[@TravelingonAdventures]

You guys have done some amazing hikes this year and this one ranks right up there. So amazing!

[@carlsanders4680]

Looks like the chair ride down in the chair lift is worth the trip.

[@jaysmith9062]

That was such a cool place. So proud of y’all making the choice to turn around and be safe and like one of the girls said that’s a great excuse to get to go back.

[@garyhahn3450]

Sad about the situation in Maine. Glad to hear your family and friends are OK. My greatest memory of the Tetons was when we stopped at the chapel on the east side that had a large window behind the altar, facing the Tetons, awesome!

[@woofersd2383]

So Beautiful. Thank You. You do know spray will never stop a very determined Bear. Glad you all had an amazing experience.

[@jimmyrants4342]

Incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing this one especially. Stay safe.

[@TheRm65]

If you guys happen to meet a hungry grizzly on the path, at least the girls have nothing to worry about. The bear would go right for Corey because the bear wants a meal, not a snack.

[@johnsubic3599]

Good call, turning around.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We think so, too!

[@AlanBarry-do6mh]

Thank you for this wonderful episode. Beautiful views of the Grand Tetons and great wisdom, go with your gut!

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Tremendous. Thank you. Blessings

[@habigscrapbooks]

Your family does such amazing hikes! And awesome photography. I want to take lessons from Corey! And glad all your family is safe. Such a sad and senseless tragedy.

[@forester057]

Bats - worked for Ozzy - oh wait never mind. Chocked and rocked TM (dont steal it 😂).

[@thomasbanks9805]

Thanks Guys ... So sad about what happened in Maine ... So glad your family and friends are all okay ! Thanks again for a great video.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

We are heartbroken at what happened as well. Thankful that our family is safe but so very sad for those who can't say the same. Thank you for joining us and taking the time to comment!

[@Obsession96905]

Tips for those who visit bear Country... Good news girls, you only have to run faster than Corey. Those with bear spray is just seasoning for the person the bear eats (yum pepper)! 😱

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I’m actually pretty quick 😳😂

[@polymath5119]

Beautiful, thanks FOS!

[@kirstenstrobel4387]

So glad you got to see the Quiet Side of the Mountains!! That was my view for 4-1/2 years when I lived 10 miles due east of Tetonia in the early 80s. Thanks for taking me back down Memory Lane!

[@georgesims6339]

You guys are our favourite RV channel in the states.

[@ellenchaffin4604]

The Tetons are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@ejs6010]

Great ski lift journey. You captured the view of the fox in the parling lot too!

[@mountainskyaerialphotograp3921]

Very beautiful, glory be to God! I remember proposing to my wife going up a lift in Colorado. 31 years this November!

[@elizabethlarose3632]

I’m from New England and have climbed a few of our Mountains…but when I saw I saw the Tetons for the first time I was just overwhelmed. They are beautiful. Thanks for showing us all the different sides of the Tetons…that hike was awesome.

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Fantastic episode. I really want to go there. The views are amazing. I want to try the down hill bikes. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@martysmith-BonneyLake]

Grand Targ is a legit ski area. No one on that side. Great pictures! Perfect weather.

[@srameypr]

Wow, I'd never thought about ski lifts to scenic views! I'll have to research other places that offer this! This video was simply beautiful!

[@annamaybeekman5152]

GOOD CALL ON TURNING AROUND GRIZZLIES ARE NOTHING TO FOOL WITH

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Something just didn't feel right!

[@dennymoore4502]

I always worried about bears in Teton's so we only went on guided hikes when we were there, as we didn't have bear spray. Since I've gotten older things that didn't worry me now do so I would say that's a good decision to turn back.

[@brianacker7318]

Good day, we were inspired by your Maine trip and drove there to see Bar Harbor and Lubec. It was so beautiful. So sorry about the loss people experienced from the horrific shooting incident. We were in our hotel in Freeport when shelter in place came through. Our prayers with the whole community

[@asadventures_moriicoddiwomple]

Wow! Really beautiful view from the top of the lift hike! You mentioned Medicine Bow-Routt and we want to thank you for the original video you did from there. We went to Sugarloaf CG for three nights on our recent 4 month Pacific Northwest trip and loved it. Thanks for all the videos that inspire great travel!

[@drewbdavis1927]

Ok. I will waxx poetic... once again AMAZING footage of a wonderful lovely place bringing us all SPECTACULAR views!!! Thanks again for the wow-zo wonderful job you all do for your viewers!!! Love your channel!!! ❤👍

[@justinebuckleywright1302]

Thank you for the beautiful video. Made me teary eyed... So awesome. Love you all.❤ , it was so gorgeous.

[@kathiebauer5165]

So many people ride, hike, mountain trails & have no protection and an altercation ends bad for both. Especially having the kids along I would need more then spray. Many have relied on spray & lost.

[@ghostpepperrides4805]

Beautiful.

[@sudo_rideurbike2792]

We were hiking in the park at the Grand Teton's last summer and at about mile 8 of a nine mile hike with two family's and 3 pre-teen kids we came around a stand of trees and were 20 feet from a grizzly sitting in a clearing Winnie the pooh style tearing a log apart eating bugs. It looked over its shoulder at as as we slowly backed our way up the trail. We did have bear spray with us but luckily it decided to get up and walk off into the woods. Looking back it was amazing, but in the moment not one of us even felt comfortable going for a phone to take a picture.

[@juliebowers550]

Such a sweet family!!❤

[@annamaybeekman5152]

PRAISE GOD ALL YOUR FAMILY IS SAFE IN MAINE

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So grateful that everyone is ok. And devastated for those who can't say the same!

[@vickihogan8207]

Lordy, that makes me nervous! I don't do heights or ski lifts. Beautiful views.

[@aaronmkeith1622]

Got to get a new shirt! Have not purchased one since the first edition.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

I think you are really going to love this Fall's new logo that Lily designed! And we have some new items this year as well! Store opens TOMORROW with this week's video release!

[@stevej7139]

Nice hike, reminds me of the one in Vail, Co. that takes you up to Eagles Nest. I did Craters of the Moon when I did my Yellowstone trip several years ago and we camped at their campground, I was there in July so it was pretty hot on the surface(around 100F) but down inside the lava tubes you need a jacket if you plan to stay a while plus there's ice in the tighter places. Down inside some of the cinder cones is snow that will never melt as well, funny place but bring knee pads if you want to do some of the lava tube crawls because lava rock is not pleasant to crawl on without them.

[@kathykeene2092]

I have to say that I am more engaged with your videos since you are close to real time. In the past, when you were many months behind, it was very hard (for me) to be interested. You have an adorable family. Thanks for the videos!

[@karenshields6849]

Grand Targhee Resort ski lift! Is a don’t miss!

[@joyeyoder4783]

Great episode.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@jasongallo969]

Glad.your families ok, Your videos are great i always look forward to the next one.if your coming to the rv show in tampa in January i look forward to meeting you.

[@JanetsAppalachianKitchen]

I'm so jealous as I lived in Montpelier, Id for 2 years and traveled to the Tetons every other Sunday just to have picnics with my kids and they rode the lift up but due to my fear of heights I never did. Now I wish I had at least tried.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

Well we hope you are able to go back SOMEDAY and have that amazing experience!

[@robreber9355]

Great video as always guy's. Look forward to next weeks video. Travel safe and God Bless you guy's.

[@nickanderson170]

If you ever visit northern idaho Lewiston idaho has some amazing jet boat tours into hells canyon. There is also Coeur d’alene lake and lake Pend oreille that are amazing. Love your videos

[@gizzmo2875]

I also put blocks under the feet on the low side, I've had "Over stroke Error" on sloped sites when I didn't. Also, I X-Chocked the side that was on blocks. What you did with blocking the low side definitely takes the stress off the gear on the low side.

[@pamelamingus8991]

Jess, it is not your fault that you didn't bring bear spray. There are four adults in your group. Just because you always have taken care of them doesn't mean that you always have to in the future. Let them be grown and have some adult responsibility. That includes you Cory. I love watching your videos.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

In theory your argument makes sense , but since no delegation was set in place beforehand, and the fact she usually does it… Just like I’m in charge of all the camera equipment. Almost always there’s some checks and balances, but I guess everyone was just excited to get up the mountain 😃

[@caseyntrent]

Love this video… y’all should do a video on your top 10 hiking trails

[@martaleary5598]

Yeah… Bear spray is iffy “at best… specially for grizzlies… no thank you ! But I commend you for making it that far!! 🥰❤️👍Stay safe!!!

[@ourrvsunsets]

Beautiful stuff guys! Turning back probably just saved you from the 2 summit, lack of oxygen, raging headache! 😜 Safe Travels!!

[@edandsharonmoreland]

We love the Tetons but have never done a hike there even though we had bear spray 😂. Someone had foot issues from hiking Glacier but I won’t mention her name.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

There are some amazing ones that aren't very intense. Hope you are able to make it someday soon!

[@roadtriplover.]

Definitely BETTER than Disney! That’s a great slogan for ya, right? 😁

[@FindingOurSomeday]

That chairlift ride was just incredible!

[@viviandarin694]

Phenomenal

[@TomSpurlock]

What a nice place to visit. Problem is there's no campgrounds for at least 60 miles. I'm in disbelief. Thanks for sharing the sights.

[@larrylaker6376]

Appreciate the update on handling wild bats 🦇 ⚠️

[@terryderush2657]

Better safe 🙏 than sorry 😊. Great 👍 as 🇺🇸 always.

[@barbarapalmer268]

Enjoyed the video.

[@FindingOurSomeday]

So glad to hear! Thank you so much for watching!

[@scarlethenderson6510]

They were actually KZbinrs that had set up off-grid camp that did get eaten by a bear not too long this year, it was heart breaking
