[@JKFella925]

Oh man, this is the first actual video I’ve watched of someone going into the park and showing the different trails, only seen pictures before. This is definitely going to the top of the list of parks to visit, so incredibly beautiful.

[@roxannegordon6162]

My husband and I spent a week at Yellowstone then drove south up up up and down down down a white knocked mountain pass to Grand Teton. We were pulling our little Winnebago. We stopped at Mt. Rushmore along the way, then Badlands, then Devils tower. Every night curled up snug as a bug in a rug in our Winnie. At Devils Tower we spent nights staring at the stars over the tower. We did most of our driving on weekends when national parks are busiest. We visited those on a weekday. My husband has a long lens camera so we didn't have to be dumb tourists trying to get close to wildlife with a cell phone camera. We noticed the paved wide bike path at Teton. It's on the right side of the main road going for miles. We had our bikes on our SUV so we stopped at one of the parking lots in Teton, got on our bikes and what a backdrop riding along in perfect weather for a 5 mile ride. It was tough getting off the bikes. We had dinner at Jenny Lake $$$ and walked around the lake. I was a bit nervous since a rather large Bear had just passed us. Even though my husband had bear spray on his left hip, his right hip had real bear spray by Sig Sauer. When we returned home we read about a woman who was killed by a bear. Her bear spray can was empty. At the 2:35 mark when you mention 'this is a beautiful trail' can you point the camera at the trail? Actually, we can hear you very well as you walk and point to where you are walking. I will give you credit though that you don't keep the camera on yourself as much as so many videographers do. It's amazing to think there are people who ski down those mountains. We noticed snow on the mountains even though we were there for the month of Jully 2023. Good video. Clear and concise.

Hi Josh. My husband and I are fairly new to your channel but have been watching it daily since we found you. I love your voice, your information, your videograpy and everything about your channel. We are sheep farmers in Canada with a daily vlog. We are having lambs right now, so we have been in a sort of lock down for the last few months. We love nature, hiking, travel and photography and do as much of it as we can when we are not working on the farm. Just wanted to thank you for your great work and to let you know that I am telling my viewers about your channel as well 🙂

We went last year and it was beautiful! We did the hike at Jenny lake and then took the boat back which was nice to give ourselves a deserved treat😊 you can never get tired of seeing the mountain range. We miss it so much we are going back this summer again.

[@interstateruler]

I really love the beauty of this park. It's really peaceful

[@robinraddatz982]

The cascade canyon trail is my favorite trail in the national parks. I’ve been to lake solitude twice and the walk back seeing the backs of the Tetons is just stunning. Every time I’ve been on the trail I’ve seen moose. Pretty cool!

I hiked to Delta Lake in 2018 and it was gorgeous. It wasn't hard to follow and find when I hiked it, just really steep. I also hiked through part of Cascade Canyon on a different year and it's one of my all time favorite spots. I lived a few hours away until 2021, and I miss making trips out there so much.

[@chriscombs3170]

I've wanted to go to Grand Tetom so bad and have been contemplating planning a trip for some time in the future. But this video has cemented my decision to go! You showcase it at its most beautiful.

[@EdCook-f4q]

Discovered you not too long ago and now watching everything you present. I like our style, and to the point. So many folks puff it up with useless crap. Just tell me if it great or sucks. I can see from the vids. You have an easy presentation that you were born with or learned. Doesn't matter to me. I like it. One thing I and suspect others would appreciate (and you might hate) is how dogs fit in where you are. A lot of us travel with dogs and you might not care about them or even be irritated by them but the fact is, you have many folks watching. Consider talking about the subject. Like if dogs are allowed or not where you are and how they must be handled. Most National Parks are not dog friendly, especially on hiking trails but some are. As a travel guide, you need to be educated as to the rules wherever you are. Beyond the dog thing, you are great and precise to what we want to know.

GTNP is beautiful and such and iconic park! When I visited, we took a boat across Jenny Lake and as we arrived to the other side, we spotted a Bear literally walking RIGHT BEHIND a hiker on the trail. Luckily they weren't hurt 😊 Would love to return to the Tetons one day.

[@kiethj7]

I get the feeling with the moose. My wife and I ride a bike trail often in North Idaho and every time we see moose. We will stick around 20 mins just watching them do whatever they do. Of course at a safe distance. Sometimes when it snows up here, the moose will just lay down and chill. Some roads will just have moose laying down the whole drive. It never gets old. I love the Tetons. Every time I go, I think that Yellowstone is a decoy to keep people away from the Tetons lol. I prefer it over Yellowstone

Also, we spent the majority of one of the days at String Lake. The water was clear and not that deep throughout almost the entire lake! Perfect beach day.

[@ThroughMyLens]

That is such a perfect area to relax! I did that on a previous trip but not on this one

[@theLifeofTahir]

Do Delta Lake next time as well! Suprise Lake is beautiful. Amphitheater Is even more beautiful. And Delta lake even moreso!! I hiked it before it got insta-famous, so I am not sure how it is now, but back then there was no trail once you leave the Amphitheater lake trail. I've been going to the Tetons every year for the past decade! Just listened to 16:50 haha I think it's worth doing. I have done a lot of off-trail hiking in the Tetons.

Another great video, Josh. Grand Tetons is at the top of my favorite parks list. I drove from San Diego to Yellowstone in September 2021, stopping at GTNP on the way up and the way back and was enthralled by the massive mountains jutting up from the surrounding plains. Sadly, wildfire smoke and haze made it difficult to see them on my northbound leg, but a fresh rain cleansed the skies for my southbound leg. It was great. If I may make a suggestion: It would be helpful if you put the actual travel dates either in the description or as a brief graphic in the video (or both). It would help those planning a trip understand what they may experience.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for sharing your story with us! Bummer the smoke made them hard to see! Good catch about the dates, I always forget to include that, and will update the description with it. This was in August.

[@reneeslider1466]

Worked in the Tetons for two summers. Colter Bay is the best place for views of the Tetons. Also best pizza goes to Leeks Pizza at Leeks Marina.

[@Ranger_Omar]

I do highly suggest doing the cascade canyon trail as early in the morning. I started my hike at 6am from String Lake trailhead. Beware you will probably be the only one on the trail until the last part of the return CC. I had to stop multiple times waiting for animals to wake up from sleeping on the trail. Like moose and smaller animals. It does add around 3 miles unless you do the whole Jenny lake loop as well, which I did.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Wow that sounds like an incredible experience!

I have to hike to Surprise and Amphitheater lake very soon. Delta Lake is a MUST DO. It is my top 2 favorite hike there. Unless if the park tells you that you can't hike it, I think you're okay to do it. It's not too difficult to find it.

[@ThroughMyLens]

Thanks for the suggestion, would love to see Delta someday!

[@indylaura99]

We got married in the town of jackson and hired a private guide to take us on a nature tour the grand tetons after. Moulton Barn with The mountains in the background is one of the most stunning places i've ever been. We asked some locals. For suggestions on where to see wildlife and they said stay along the Gros Ventre river. It definitely did not disappoint. We were there mid may and there were no crowds, but a lot of stuff was not open either.
