Visit in May. We spent 7 days in mid-May 2022, camped at the Madison campground, and had very small crowds comparatively. Yes, there was still snow in many places and it even snowed on two of the days, but we didn’t hit traffic jams, and had the Lamar valley to ourselves. Also we had no issues finding parking. It was cold the entire time, but I’d gladly take cold over huge crowds. Yellowstone is such a magical place.

Just want to thank you for everything you did to contribute to an amazing cross country trip we had in Early August. I purchased and downloaded your Yellowstone audio guide, and it made our one day (yes, one day!) drive through Yellowstone efficient and enjoyable. Following your guide, we entered at the South, and were able to see Old Faithful, Geyser basin, the Grand Prismatic Spring, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, and Yellowstone Lake, before exiting in the East towards Cody. We entered very early (7:00 a.m.), had very light crowds and traffic (until later in the day), and found plenty of parking. Our only regret was seeing very little wildlife! Road construction was a nuisance, but did not cause much delay. Wish we’d had more time, but we’re on a deadline to get from California to Minnesota in 5 days! We will go back one day to see more. Our final thanks is for your other videos regarding Jackson Hole, Cody, Mount Rushmore,and Custer! We used those to decide what to do while in those spots. You helped us get the most out of a rushed but memorable trip!!! Thank you!!!

No kidding about the parking! We went mid-September. We got to the Artist Point parking lot at 7am and there were only a few cars. I didn't think it would fill up bc it wasn't "busy" season, but by the time we finished our little hike around 9:30, the lot was nearly full-- although plenty of people were going in and out. Go early and see the lovely morning sun! Also, pay attention to road closures and check the latest park conditions. At the time we went, West Thumb was closed due to unsafe conditions regarding a power station or something. There was also a section closed in the south loop from 8p-6a for road work.

ALSO : Do not honk car horn at elk, moose, or bison...they get angry...especially mama's with little ones. ( then often here comes dad and he gets mad too ). Do not think you can walk up and pet a bear, elk, moose, or bison. Getting a selfie isn't worth getting hurt. If going in August...be aware that is " rut " ( mating ) time for elk and bison...and things can go from good to bad in a second. At the geyser thermal areas...stay on the boardwalks...to get off onto thin crust will really mess you up, or kill you. Always keep your pet on it's leash. Do not allow young children to wander off alone...again...dangerous in all areas. Be aware there are some nice size Bull snakes around the Mammoth area....they will just scare the wits out of you...but they do have a nasty temper. Manners...use yours...because you will see some who will not...they think they are special people. lol lol

"There are plenty of gas stations...." Depends on the time of year and how much extra you are willing to pay! Also, it's not unheard of to be stuck, idling, in bumper to bumper traffic behind a bear jam or bison jam, for an hour or more. This can use up a bunch of gas while you are getting close to zero miles per gallon! I highly advise that you not enter the park with less than a half a tank, and if you are concerned at all about keeping costs down it is not a bad idea to top off outside the park. That makes a lot of sense if you are staying outside of the park anyway. If camping or lodging inside the park, it makes more sense to fill in the park, but still advise you keep the needle in the top half of the tank before starting off to explore.

Another very important NOT: If you have any doubt about how road-worthy your vehicle is (think about the age of your car, your home starting place and how far and how much elevation your car will be making to get to Yellowstone), RENT A VEHICLE INSTEAD. Our transmission died our first day in Yellowstone. The tow to Boseman, MT (the nearest auto repair) was $786.20. (This was back in 2001!) Then, we had to wait a week before a proper transmission could be brought to Boseman and installed. Of course, that required us to rent a car for the week to continue our visit until our car would be ready, and it required paying for unanticipated lodging in Boseman a couple of extra nights, not to mention extended costs for the extended vacation. Nevertheless, our visit was enjoyable. Yellowstone is a great place to be stuck! Luckily, we already had our campsite at Slough Creek and could return there for the duration of our Yellowstone vacation. Lodging and a campsite would be a lot trickier now. In those days, it was easy to keep one's campsite as long as needed.

I've seen a bunch of similar videos and none of them tell you the best time of the year to visit a park. In the case of Yellowstone, there is a month before summer starts and a month after it ends when tourism is slower and there is less crowding, less traffic, more places to park, etc. The reason being in the spring people are afraid winter isn't over yet and it will snow again and they think they will get stuck in the park in a blizzard or something. It's the same in the fall, people are afraid it might start snowing and winter will kick in. I used to go to Yellowstone every year, and I only got caught in one serious snow storm, and that was before the park closed in fall. So technically, that was still summer...

Another well planned and well narrated video on Yellowstone. It should be shown at the Visitor Centers! A small addition to the speed limit section: At night, most visitors hunker down in their lodge rooms, RVs, or tents in preparation for the next day's adventures/travels. But if one is out after dark on the roads, realize that there are no street lights in Yellowstone outside of the villages! It is DARK! Speeds should decrease proportionately. Imagine sailing along after dark with only your headlights for illumination and coming around a curve at 45, only to see a bison in your lane less than 25 yards away! 'Nuff said.

Nowadays, people discover these things and immediately blab on the internet (social media!). Places with no crowds suddenly have crowds. Great experiences are ruined.

The animals on the park have been well trained and are very comfortable around people. Please stop your car and enjoy their company. Speak loudly and get close so they know you want them to pose for your photo!

Don't get too close...stay safe! Thanks for watching.

And leave wild animals alone. Don't swoop in to "rescue" any that you think need it

#11 Make sure you pee before going on an extended drive. Those Bison traffic jams can last a few seconds, a few minutes, or a few HOURS, like the one we saw where a Bison just laid down in the middle of the street and did not move for such a long time, the traffic jam extended for about 8 miles.

If you decide to stay in West Yellowstone avoid Hibernation Station. The management is terrible and doesn’t have the customers best interest in mind.

Why in this day and age they cannot put up a cell tower especially this place can be dangerous

Better cell reception would be nice.
@pattiheintz5625 ай бұрын
That's part of the point of nature. To get away from the hustle and bustle. If you need cell service that bad then this not the place to be. Go to the zoo.

go in the winter see more animals near the roads and no one running from being chased by a wolf or a moose or a bison or bear for teasing the animals
@WereintheRockies Жыл бұрын
To see more wildlife, off season is definitely nice. However, most of the roads are closed in winter. Late fall is a great time.

I go through Yellowstone about five times a year from Idaho over to Cody. I get cell phone coverage in quite a few places especially west of Fishing Bridge. Terrible video that tells a person nothing. I would easily recommend to fill up in Cody or West Yellowstone, not only to save money but to save time. As for speeding/driving too slow; DUH, that is for all roads, especially if the area is full of wildlife.

You should try to embarrass the bison guy! He deserves it. That's some major league idiotic behavior right there.

So tired of the stupid drivers who see a bison and suddenly turns into the drive in theatre
@WereintheRockies4 ай бұрын
Yes, it gets frustrating. We see bison all the time, so for us they're not worth stopping for but we try to be patient for the person slowing down. They may have never seen one before.
@drome0103814 ай бұрын
Yeah part of me wants to be patient. The other... realizes we just passed a switchback and will be lucky if the next driver doesn't rear end us because someone stopped to get a pic of a bison. The Rangers need to make it more a point to stop the drive by photo opps.

Why so much talking head narration stuff when there's so much scenery you could have cut away to? Nobody wants to see a talking head. They want to see the scenery.

I have to give a thumbs down on this. I thought you'd be reporting on the current conditions of the roads after all that flooding earlier this year, but not a word about that. My understanding from earlier videos is that it will take years to repair the roads.
@WereintheRockies2 жыл бұрын
I understand your frustration. Our reasoning for making a video not covering the road conditions after the flood is that accessibility of roads is changing so frequently our video would almost immediately be outdated and we'd be giving people wrong information For the most up to date information, check out the Yellowstone NP website and look at their alerts.
