Winter in Yellowstone: 4 Magical Days in a Winter Wonderland

[@timwoody3835]

Thanks for the balanced reporting on the hunt. The views and wildlife were awesome. A very worthwhile video.

[@WereintheRockies]

You’re welcome, and thank YOU for watching and giving feedback!

[@joanies6778]

Yes, very balanced. 👍

[@longjh1953]

Nice to see Yellowstone in the winter from our warm and toasty living room. Thanks for the trip.

[@WereintheRockies]

We were thinking the same thing when we watched it today! 😂

[@carolhaffield6749]

Really enjoyed your trip to Yellowstone. We have visited twice, via Jackson Hole. I was taken aback on your Liberty Bell comment. I grew up in Philly and visited Independence mall frequently. I encourage you to go there, take the tours, carriage ride and explore why you and I are able to enjoy our freedoms. It is quite humbling. Go East!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching.

[@scottphillipy9831]

What an amazing video. After my first trip a couple years ago I've put the winter trip on my bucket list. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@WereintheRockies]

Scott, thanks for always supporting us! We always appreciate you

[@jymnmeier3527]

You both are amazing ! Thank you for sharing this adventure and all of your adventures. My little family has visited 27 National Parks since 2021 (15 this year alone) and used your videos as a trusted source. All of which were flawless, thanks to your guidance:) Wishing you both a wonderful New Year.

[@WereintheRockies]

You are always so supportive of us - thank you so much! You’re right - it was a special moment that probably only us history people could appreciate. 😂

[@GregPrince-io1cb]

OMGeeeee!!!! I took my 88yr old Pop's out there in late September early October in 22..... the winter views are outstanding!!

[@WereintheRockies]

September is awesome! Hope you and pops loved it. Thank you so much for watching

[@MooseAndersonProductions]

Loved this video and SOOOO proud & happy for Matt. He belongs in a museum! 🤣 A classic piece of work! His pamphlet that is! 😂 Seriously, I have always thought about doing a winter trip just like this. Even my wife commented how beautiful Yellowstone was with snow. Also loved Matt’s new shades! Very stylish.😊 Happy New Year guys!

[@WereintheRockies]

Haha! Thanks.

[@jrivera6343]

Thank you you both for a great video. I appreciate your balanced explanation of the hunt. Cheryl, your compassion for the animals is evident in your voice and I cried just listening to your description. Thank you for your honesty. ❤

[@AplinsintheAlps]

Guys, I LOVE this video! It's helpful to see how you planned your time and which activities you did. You always have the best little facts and history tips to keep things interesting. And I love seeing more of your "vloggy" personality on the camera too. So proud of you guys!!! -Jana

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks Aplins!

[@Klittle67]

Thank you so much for sharing, Yellowstone in winter is on my "list". Happy to see where you stayed in Gardiner, we stay there every year and love it.

[@rv2travel]

One of my favorite videos of yours! Its a something I always wanted to do but probably never will. As for the hunt, its a fact of life and thank you for sharing.

[@cchambersglenn]

Yellowstone really is lovely in the winter. I used to think snowshoeing would be boring but I have really enjoyed it. Thanks for a great video!

[@WereintheRockies]

It really is!

[@robiness6019]

How awesome to be included in the archives! Thank you for another great video, can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store for you guys!

[@WereintheRockies]

Happy new year!

[@lindahughes583]

We just finished this video! You all convinced us to try Yellowstone in the winter. I loved that your guide is in the archives, what an honor. Your guide was so great for our first trip to Yellowstone.

[@WereintheRockies]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pjreads5014]

What a great video! You added a lot of information that is useful to those of us planning our own trip - thank you so much!

[@najruqwi7008]

Wow! It's so beautiful in the wine.

[@ncmetalfan5267]

Very good and informative video. Watching it on the plane as I am about 2 hours away from landing in Bozeman for my 3rd winter trip to Yellowstone

[@WereintheRockies]

Awesome!

[@gwennelson6580]

Great video !!! I enjoyed it very much. I am in Texas where it is warm. Seeing that much snow was fun. Take care.

[@WereintheRockies]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@PirateKing615]

Great video and commentary! Thanks for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching it. Appreciate your effort in making this fantastic video. It's such a magical place...thanks again! Another Yellowstone enthusiast here!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks and you're welcome.

[@1smethvin]

Looks like a great adventure. Kind of makes me want to go in the winter. Maybe…

[@WereintheRockies]

Maybe…haha. You can do an all-day snowcoach tour from West Yellowstone and you barely have to get out at all!

[@1smethvin]

Oh my goodness. No. I want to do the fun stuff. The snow shoeing looked like a lot of fun!

[@jilmorby1188]

Great Video! So fun to see things through your eyes.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you Jil!

[@marytroche984]

That was an awesome video, you gave a great perspective of Yellowstone in the wintertime. you definitely don’t run out of things to do. You have me sold on wanting to go in the winter!! Cheryl, I would have cried too seeing the hunt also and what brand is your jacket?? I love it!

[@WereintheRockies]

It was so sad. The brand is Boulder Gear.

[@marytroche984]

You guys are awesome. Happy New Year 👍😃

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you for the wonderful compliment. Happy New Year to you as well!

[@jupitercrash777]

I love your videos. I was in Yellowstone this past September

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you for the compliment and thank you so much for watching! September is an amazing time to visit!

[@bellati2006]

One of our favorite places to be! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing video with us! I have been several times in the fall...but never in the winter....Wow! It looks so different with all of the snow. Beautiful! Question...when you were snowshoeing-you mentioned that you couldn't get to where you guys were going in the other months...summer?...why? Just curious. Thank you again for taking us along on your winter journey!

[@WereintheRockies]

It’s back in the woods near old faithful. There isn’t an established trail there. But in the winter they can make their own trail, basically. :)

[@bellati2006]

@@WereintheRockies I see. Makes sense. Thanks for responding!

[@WereintheRockies]

You are welcome! 🙏 thanks so much for watching.

[@jeffdidier3737]

Thanks for putting together a nice video here! Can you reccommend a place to rent snowshoes in Gardiner? Thank you!

[@WereintheRockies]

We are not familiar with snow shoe rental places in Gardiner but Old Faithful Snow Lodge rents them.

[@peter71162]

Great video with a lot of information! Where did you stay in West Yellowstone?

[@WereintheRockies]

We have stayed at a variety of places. We've liked Days Inn (if with kids), Historic Madison Hotel, West Gate Hotel.

[@PeaceLily-qs4ey]

Loved the snow views. You guys are amazing introducing these wonderful videos! ❤Just wondering if a permit is required to film inside of park and post on KZbin? Thanks.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks! And yes, a permit is still required, unfortunately.

[@PeaceLily-qs4ey]

Thank you!

[@hamanda2319]

Loved your video and I’m anxious to make a trip like this! Just curious why you chose to stay in a cabin vs the lodge while inside the park?

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks! Honestly, I can’t remember if the lodge was full, or if the cabin was just cheaper.

[@hamanda2319]

Ahh gotcha! Thanks for the response!!

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Awesome memories..........thank you! There is a wonderful book, Shadow Mountain by Renee Askins about her struggle for wolf reintroduction @ Yellowstone

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for sharing.

[@stevencruse2026]

What is the time of year did y’all go for this video. Just curious best winter time to go and not freeze too much.

[@WereintheRockies]

February

[@wncjan]

I would love to visit Yellowstone in winter. But I have seen wolves. Actually a pack hunting bison back in July 2013.

[@WereintheRockies]

You’ve seen it all, Daddy Sage!! Thank you as always for watching and commenting!

[@jak488]

Lol... last time I was in Yellowstone in the winter, West recorded a low of -39

[@WereintheRockies]

Whaaaaaaat!?!? That’s insane!

[@jak488]

@@WereintheRockies Lol yeah but still fun. The snowcoaches were heated :) Colder temps also make the thermal features appear more impressive, too.

[@theguyonyourmind]

Can you see the night sky with all the stars??

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes! Some popular spots are Mount Washburn, Upper Geyser Basin, and Mammoth Hot Springs.

[@hudekhoustonartist]

Can you enter Yellowstone from the North entrance all year long, including the winter?

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes but only the road from Gardiner to Cooke City is open

[@hudekhoustonartist]

Thank you. @@WereintheRockies

[@totaljimbo]

You should tell us about prices would be nice

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@stephaniegarcia6452]

Which month was this?

[@WereintheRockies]

February

[@Gidaddy55]

Wow dont understand the significance of the Liberty Bell? How sad

[@martinjdesmond]

Thanks for describing the bison "hunt" last year. Nine Indian tribes slaughtered over 1200 bison last winter. These Yellowstone bison are quite accustomed to being around humans. The Park service did complete an environmental assessment in the fall of 2023 which looked at more humane ways. Yellowstone could actually sustain more bison, but the state of Montana in particular wants to kill more bison.

[@WereintheRockies]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@oddjobs3025]

You guys are too cute. I mean in a good way

[@TheIdahoNate]

I’m sorry but the bison are NOT over populated.

[@gldsmith61]

It 's Yellowstone but don't eat the yellow snow.

[@robhamilton8993]

Oh and any hunting of Bison should be banned. That is a disgrace no matter who is hunting them

[@WereintheRockies]

It's so sad.
