Top 10 Tips for Visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks in the Summer

[@jenniferjackson2509]

Thank you for telling people to be smart and respect the nature.. too many people are ignorant and entitled. I’m glad you’re putting this out there

[@davidbergaragonzalez5653]

To all of you worried about how crowded it is, take the backcountry trails. You'll need a backcountry permit but it's probably going to be more fun than hanging out with the rest of the dweebs. Go alone; you'll get lots of peace and solace there. Also, spray bear spray on yourself to prevent bears from attacking. Make sure to keep your food safe from bears by locking it in your tent when you camp. If a bear sees you, do not run away. Instead, run towards it while beating your chest and making wild, ululating noises. Do not make any rude gestures or talk about it's mama because bears are sensitive animals and will charge if you provoke them. Good luck. Also, try not to get murdered, because your remains will likely be eaten before they are found.

I'll save this one next time we visit Yellowstone. WE just drive through it and hopped off some few spots instead of hiking. I wanted to go on a real hike but boyfriend was always in a rush for our next stop so we didn't really get to see the other spots. It was still beautiful and I will definitely go back there.

[@duanezuverink6129]

#1 don't put the bear spry in a pocket on your backpack. Keep it on your hip or chest where it is quickly accessible.

[@ldn0224]

#1 cut the tie wrap off the bear spray canister!

We are headed to Grand Teton next week. Yellowstone will be done offseason. Great video guys! Cheers

[@HappyTrailsHiking]

We already have our campsites booked for July 2018. Good video advice! Thanks!

[@Lewis-fr9mu]

Happy Trails Hiking which one you got

[@HungryForAdventures]

I just went to yellowstone 3 weeks ago! It was beautiful. I have footage on my channel. Wish i saw this before going though lol. Great advice keep it up

[@FotoHysteria]

thx for the info! I just got to East Glacier today in St. Mary's. RV park lady gave me a scoop on where some bears may be in the mornings for viewing, hopefully I get one with a looooong lens..haha

[@MortonsontheMove]

Good idea! We saw them off the road near mt washburn and on the road to the east entrance. They were also off the trail to inspiration point in the Tetons. Have fun, were on our way to glacier next!

[@leandrogaldino8949]

belíssimo o lugar.

[@lewismarchant1294]

Where is the jump and swim spot at around 2min 36secs?

[@moshpitsandbongrips6998]

My wife and I are thinking about moving to cody. I hope this doesn't get to boring cause there's almost nothing else to do in wyoming. I'm from southern california though so i'm used to having a bunch of stuff to do xD.

[@skywolf2012]

Sounds fun.

[@skywolf2012]

How far is Dsadwood from Yellowstone .Planning to go there and see the towns history.?

[@peteguard3571]

Great video. Very informative

[@Ella_ellie12]

I’m going to Yellowstone National park in August

[@rodrigorodriguez123]

thanks for this informative movie. i'm planning to visit grand teton and yellow stone in august, but i'm in doubt since it is really busy. to visit the park early is no problem, but is it not really crowded when you are hiking during the day in the park?

[@MortonsontheMove]

Depends on where you go hiking. The more difficult trails are not as busy, but most gysers, easier viewpoints, waterfalls etc get very busy. Mornings and evenings are still best.

[@franklisatravels9651]

great info we have plans to travel to the grand Teton and Yellowstone in August on motorcycle and trailer our plans to camp outside the park and ride in. have you guys seen and animals attack motorcycles we also vlog our trips also I just subscribe to you chamnel pretty cool video..

[@MortonsontheMove]

I don't think the animals care anymore about motorcycles than cars. During the rut elk may be more dangerous but only if you approach them... wont be a problem in august.

[@roseperez9684]

Where did you leave your dogs?

[@ShorelooksniceRV]

Good stuff!

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

ok, Just got back. 5 days in Yellowstone. NO BEARS! NO ELKE! But a lot of Buffalo north.

[@chipsachoy99]

how is dispersed camping in the national forests?

[@MortonsontheMove]

Depends on where you go, some good some not so good. Around the tetons there is lots, around yellowstone not so much but lots of campgrounds.

[@enforcerjj2943]

What area is shown at 2:35 where they are jumping off rocks into the water? How do you get there?

[@MortonsontheMove]

That is the Phelps lake jumping rock. Its about a 30' plunge and can be accessed from the Phelps lake trail. Its on the north side of the lake.

[@Confusedduckling499]

Is it always that busy or just at weekends in the most popular spots?

[@MortonsontheMove]

Its that busy during the peak summer months, June July Aug Sep , That was mid week and its most of the roads.

[@brettharsanye5633]

number 11 carry a gun preferably a 44magum or glock 20 10mm bear spray is ok until you piss off the bear need a back up hence a gun.

[@MOTOBLADE]

Brett Harsanye Agreed. My bear spray travels at 1,000 feet per second and is very shiny and loud. Would hate to do it, but if it's me or the bear, it's gonna be me.

[@muyangli8003]

No carry a bazooka

[@rosariodiaz31]

I would like to go but I'm too scared of wild life btw aren't there wolves out there?

[@heidimarchant5438]

Rosario Diaz the wolves are the least of your concern just don't try to take a selfie with a buffalo or bear and you'll be just fine. That's the biggest reasons why people get hurt. Other than some wanting to dive into the thermal waters.

[@finpainter1]

Son and family at old faithful today.

[@MortonsontheMove]

That's awesome. We hope to be there tomorrow or the next day!

[@enforcerjj2943]

how far is travel/distance to find cabins or motels outside the park?

[@MortonsontheMove]

Depends on what entrance. West yellowstone has lots of lodging just outside the entrance... same up north.. east side they are a long way out. Being close to the entrance could still be an hour drive from the attractions tho.. Best to look at some maps and plan what you want to see and do.

[@DrivinandVibin]

We didn't see any bears! We wanted to, but not up close :)

[@MortonsontheMove]

bummer, you guys still in the area?

[@DrivinandVibin]

We're leaving the Tetons tomorrow, by way of Idaho Falls - then making our way up to Glacier. How about yall?

[@MortonsontheMove]

+Drivin' and Vibin' we went the exact same way as you. we have been in Idaho falls for a while, doing craters of the Moon tomorrow then heading to glacier by way of West Yellowstone, we didn't do that side of the park yet. maybe we can meet up in glacier.

[@DrivinandVibin]

Sounds good! We'll probably be arriving around the 13th

[@MortonsontheMove]

We willl be there the same time, hopefully we can make that work.

[@honeybadgerstudios21]

Going in a week

[@hunsadersrockinranch]

Where do you get the bear spray?

[@goons123flofy]

Peter Hunsader buy it from outdoor type stores or rent it. Or see if the hotels have some to lend to you from previous guests

[@3DEditor]

Thanks for telling everyone to arrive early or late! Because of your tips on best times to go, those times won't be as secluded as it once was. It's like telling people where the best fishing spots are; dont do it!

[@baltsosser]

I tried for 2 months to get a camping spot at Yellowstone. It never happened, and the park vendor was rude about it. That killed my interest in visiting that particular park again. There are too many other awesome national parks to visit to give money to people that are rude.

[@Rock-ck7ms]

lol. Get off your high horse, bro.

[@baltsosser]

Not on a high horse, just really disappointed that something like a massive national park can't figure out how to accommodate anyone that travels in a random path. Not all travelers have a schedule of events planned down to the minute for a year out. Other parks were able to accommodate a single motorcycle traveler using a tent, but here it was a major problem.

[@bjfifi]

Volcano

[@rec-reation9620]

Why tf are your arms like that

[@memyself1176]

Don't bring your dog? Your dog just might save your life if encounter a bear!!! So yeah, I DO bring my dog every time!!!

[@Rock-ck7ms]

Alright, rocket man.

[@grigirg]

To eat?
