Top 8 Places to Spot Wildlife in Grand Teton National Park

[@khumbusdad]

This video blew me away. I'm a wildlife and scenic landscape photographer and frequetnt visitor to GTNP and just now, January 1, 2024, I happened to click on your video entitled "Top 8 places to spot wildlife in Grand Teton National Park." So I'm enjoying the video and Low and behold, there I am at approx. 13.50 and again at approx. 16.55, standing with a woman I had just met while we both waited for a bull and cow elk to leave an island in the Snake River and cross to the opposite shore. What are the odds of finding oneself in someone's video on KZbin. My photos tell me it was Sept. 27, 2022. I couldn't believe it. I hope this means it's going to be a fun year. Happy New Year to you both and safe travels always. Thumbs up on the video!

Thank you for this video! We are headed to the Tetons in a couple weeks and are excited to venture into these recommended areas!

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

You'll love it! Obviously the weather will be colder. Snow on the mountains and hopefully still some fall colors. Should be beautiful. You'll see lots of animals, and fewer people. The bears will be getting ready for hibernation. Enjoy!!

[@narinthip3058]

Great footage guys, love it! Hope to go back there again.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thank you. We're going back again in August.

Just got back from the Grand Tetons, but we didn't have luck in finding much wildlife. We drove between Coulter Bay and Jackson several times and checked out nearly all the spots you mentioned, but strangely we didn't see any buffalos, elk, moose or pronghorns. But we did enjoy the scenery, the hikes and checking out the town of Jackson, so it was still a great trip.

Glad you had a good time. We were also there last week. Saw quite a few grizzlies and elk. Surprisingly few bison. The ones we saw were in the Elk Flats area. We also went up into far northeast Yellowstone. LOTS of bison there. At times surrounded by bison. When you go back, make sure and go down to Cattleman's Bridge in the Oxbow Bend area. Elk, bald eagles, otters, beavers, osprey, bears, etc. It's our favorite spot and right on the Snake River.

Makes me want to go back! Thanks for sharing.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Grand Teton is a fantastic place!

[@martinjdesmond]

Great video about places to see wildlife. My spouse and I are going to Grand Teton this summer. I will definitely check out many of these recommendations.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

You'll love it. We'll be back in August.

We missed 399 last September on oxbow. Went to wrong place that evening when she crossed. Didnt see her next evening. She was spotted lil over week ago for first time this year with one cub. Great video. Missed few of your spots. Will definitely visit these next visit. Thnx for the video

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thank you for watching. Some of our best memories are watching 399 and her cubs. We're heading back in August.

[@xochiltrodriguez428]

Thank you. Great stuff. I plan to go next year for wildlife photography. Should I leave my dog at home? Do they have areas where dogs aren't allowed?

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thank you. Dogs are not allowed on national park trails. They are allowed elsewhere including campgrounds and parking lots. Enjoy your trip!

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Have you been to the top of the cable car lift area?

[@crittaker]

Thanks for sharing...well done

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thank you

[@briantodd4887]

Glad I ran into your video as I am planning my solo trip to Teton and Yellowstone this July. Staying at Jenny lake campground and signal mountain for about four nights each. Any recommendations for Yellowstone camping? I’ll be car camping in my Subaru Outback. I’ve heard great things about dispersed camping in the national forest . Can’t wait! Thanks again for posting

We are volunteering at String Lake . We are String Lakers. Seeing the video of you crossing the Bridge at the south end of String on the way to Hidden Fall or the String Lake trail gives us the chills. We look forward to our adventure as a Volunteer Ranger at the GTNP. Just wondering if you remember the location where the String Lake trail bears off of the main trail? We call that Confusion Junction. In the video it is 25.09. Where you missed the sign about Bear Spray. Since the signs are not adequate people sometimes go the wrong way, as we say they got confused and trek the wrong direction.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

That area right near the bridge is certainly so beautiful. It's one of my favorite scenes to photograph. I do remember well Confusion Junction. As we mentioned in the video we had forgotten our bear spray, went back to the van to get it, and then later came across the Beware of Bears sign. We're going back in August. Can't wait. Maybe we'll run into you.

[@rvfuntimes6144]

@@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle We will be there on the weekend and we stay at GVCG in Loop E look for the Vilano.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

@@rvfuntimes6144 We've stayed at Gros Ventre a few times, but we usually stay up at Signal Mtn. If we're in the area, we'll stop by and say hello.

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Planning a trip late September early October,hoping to get lucky with the wildlife. The Reagan poster for the win.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thanks. That's the perfect time to go there. Fewer tourists and great colors. We were about a week early for the colors last year. I think first week of October would have been perfect. Of course, it changes a little every year. We're heading back there in August. Glad you noticed the Reagan poster!!

[@chipsrafferty8362]

Thank you,you are a delightful couple.

[@rvfuntimes6144]

If you come to String Lake on the weekend Look us up. We are Volunteers Rangers at String Lake for the season. Ask for Rush or Lola. See ya then.

[@rmyr4359]

Wow i was thinking visiting Yellowstone and tetone together. Now im thinking two trips ❤

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

You can do it if you have at least a week. More like 10 days. There's so much to see and do in each place.

[@MariaAlves-br3gu]

Great video. I am planning to visit maybe May or June. Was this video from March or you just posted now?

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Thank you Maria. We just recently posted this. We have several podcasts on Grand Teton from our trips there in the winter, summer and fall. This one was from those trips.

[@OsamaAnzar]

I will be visiting great teton soon but we are not hikers so what spots would you suggest are must to see? Unfortunately i have only one day to visit park.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

What makes Grand Teton National Park so great is how easy it is to get around. You don't need to hike or even get out of your car to see some gorgeous scenery. The mountains can be scene from just about everywhere. I would suggest Schwabacher's Landing which is just off Highway 89. Oxbow Bend is another great spot along the road.Also, look up Moulton Barns along Mormon Row. Really easy to get to. And the Snake River Overlook made famous by Ansel Adams. You can see and experience all of these and more easily in a day, even just a few hours. Enjoy!

[@allancortes5716]

What song is that at the end “I wanna be a cowboy’ song ??

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

It's called Cowboy by Moody Bear from Artlist.io a subscription music service. It's a good song isn't it?

[@waltsimonson2556]

Black bears are consider the most dangerous to humans , because of their unpredictable, temperament.

[@georgeblank2648]

There are no buffalo in Grand Teton

[@tooter1able]

TOO MUCH TALK NOT ENOUGH FILM.

[@letstalkwithmarkandmichelle]

Huh? I don't do film. And there's plenty of video.
