We visited the 3rd week of October last year. The only crowded place was around Old Faithful Geyser. Other than, that, we had the park mostly to ourselves. It snowed one night and we had to miss the next morning in the park because of snow plows. We drove to Mammoth and Lamar Valley that afternoon - and it was absolutely amazing! We saw wolves in Lamar Valley from the road, and there weren't any cars or people around for miles. It's a very different experience than what you get in the Summer.

[@alexistexas2676]

I plan to go October 23-28 do you recommend I change my dates to earlier in October? He scared me when he said if there’s a snow storm the park closes :( traveling from Tx so hope it doesn’t

[@michaelshamman7780]

@@alexistexas2676 Late October is wonderful as long as the weather holds. With as dry as it's been lately, I think you'd be fine.

[@scottphillipy9831]

Great, thanks for spilling the "September" beans. Lol. Just a couple of weeks away and sooo excited. As always, thanks so much for all the hard work you put into your channel. Really helpful.

[@BrendaJBarNett]

Great info since we are going in mid-September ❤

[@tylerdurden2300]

We were there last week. Having watched your videos in advance made planning and navigating our trip so much easier. I think we got to everything we wanted to in our weeks time, except Lamar Valley. Crowds and traffic were nowhere near what I was expecting. What an awesome place.

[@leilasaukko3467]

Thanks for great and informative videos! We have booked in Yellowstone for next summer, hopefully borders will open soon so we can book flights:)

[@grubernaama]

Thank you I was looking for this type of video. I was A little scared with my visit plan, but now you reassured me it will be ok.thank you so much love your videos.

[@stevebrinkert8339]

Enjoy your videos and guide lots of good information. Retiring this October and planning a trip to Yellowstone for next September/October 2022.

[@fsusarge]

Omigod...I just put in the first two mile run, here under the 85 degree Florida spring sun, in the new Asic Gel7 you linked in your "what to pack for yellowstone" video some time back. Outstanding!!!!

[@reynam.1303]

Thank you guys!! I love your videos!♥️

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks for watching!

[@fsusarge]

Next September, you two! And you wanna see elk? Try Estes Park, CO!

[@sharonteeters6703]

I’m counting the days, we’re heading next month. 😍

[@astraseeker]

Another informative and entertaining video. You guys are great. Been to Yellowstone many times but not in the fall . This primer has put that visit to the top of the list. Thanks again guys.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you!!

[@karynhonor5046]

thank you so much for these videos :) hope they go viral

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks!!

[@davidandrew1078]

I plan to go in September 2022. Have to travel from Australia. Hopefully we can visit then.

[@JasonFiske]

Thank you for the update. We just got back and had a great time. Thank you for helping us plan. Of note, the food and restaurants are still a bit off due to COVID. There is very limited in-door dining. It’s worth researching and planning ahead.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks! Glad you had a great trip

[@larrydraper4451]

Thanks for the info. I have reservations at Madison for first 2 weeks of October. My first time to visit in the fall. Been there in spring and summer. Have reservations for 1 week in the Tetons prior to Yellowstone. We all have a Happy Place and Yellowstone is mine. Hoping to see snow but not enough to send me packing since I'm driving from Texas. Trying to correctly pack for the cold, cold nights that I expect. I enjoy your videos so keep 'em coming.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thanks Larry!

[@wncjan]

I would really love to visit Yellowstone in the winter.

[@antonecruz8165]

Me too! I love winter & snow!! To snowmobile throughout this park would be breathtaking

[@Forleaftaback]

Tent camping there in 2 weeks. Looks like it's been lows in the 20s and 30s. Good thing I've been prepping. Thanks for your help! 👍

[@antonecruz8165]

Yes plz bring layers! I just got back. Bring gloves, hats, coats. In the morning it was low 30s. Enjoy ur trip

[@sandraoettle1476]

I'm going for it! Lewis Lake Campground reservations from October 7th-11th! I've been twice before so I'm prepared to pivot if it happens to snow early this year. Fingers crossed it's crisp and dry like a good fall cider lol

[@WereintheRockies]

We'll keep our fingers crossed for you too. Have fun!

[@kkj1961]

Great video. We're visiting Sept 11-15 and then Grand Teton afterward. Getting a little worried about the smoke and air quality, as it seems to be trending in the wrong direction. Hopefully things clear up a bit by the time we go. Looking forward to our trip.

[@krisersn3092]

How was your trip?

[@Nick-wb9cz]

Hey Matt and Cheryl hope you are both well. Been a subscriber for the past couple of months and would like to thank you both for the great content. I have been organizing a trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone in early October with a group of friends for a little over a week and your videos have been a very valuable resource for me as I have begun planning an iteniary. One question about Yellowstone that I would like to ask: we will be staying around West Yellowstone during our time at the park and one place that I want the group and I to see is Lamar Valley. Given the distance from West Yellowstone, I know it is not the easiest place to get to and I am thinking about going there for one day in conjunction with Mammoth and driving the Northern road. Would you advise driving at dawn or dusk to or from Lamar Valley to heighten the chance of seeing wolves or do you think driving in the dark is too risky? Many thanks! - Nick

[@AceGoodheart]

I'm planning for next September 2023. It seems like it's been a good 12 years since I've been to Yellowstone and I'm so ready for another trip. I miss the wildlife, waterfalls, hiking, beautiful landscapes, and camping the most. I'm as big on the geo- thermal stuff. It's really neat the first time seeing but after that it gets a bit repetitive. The geysers going off is still enjoyable to see though.

[@WereintheRockies]

We're glad you're thinking of returning to Yellowstone. Happy planning.

[@jaredsmith6047]

Thanks guys! Been watching you guys for a couple of months now and you've been super helpful. Wife and me are going September 10th-19th starting from Mammoth to the Tetons. Needless to say you all have had tons of information I've embedded into my mind. Thank You!

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you and have an amazing trip!

[@DanielRodriguez-dw7ow]

I went to Yellowstone this past month for about 3 weeks with my family. It was a blast thanks for your helpful videos you guys helped me plan my trip. I stayed in the west then moved up north for the remainder of my trip. Lamar valley, Hayden valley and even gardens hole is where we saw a lot more wildlife. It turned out to be a perfect vacation I can’t wait to visit another park. You guys are great and thanks again for all the info.

[@WereintheRockies]

Thank you so much!!! Happy to hear.

[@shirleyduncan3653]

20 more days!!! Hope it’s not too Smokey!

[@julieslaton2607]

Can we get a highlights video of closings or what major spots are still open in early fall (shops, gas stations etc)? That's our concern for our FIRST upcoming early October trip.

[@alieshasalisbury1453]

This video was so helpful! Thank you! I’m going to Yellowstone and the Tetons the first weekend in October. I heard that a lot of things shut down October 1st. Like visitor’s centers, stores, restrooms, etc. in both parks. Is that true? And places/activities in Jackson and Teton village. I understand that the parks themselves are open in October, but do most of the services shut down October 1st? Thanks in advance.

[@WereintheRockies]

Yes. Not exactly sure on the date but basically they start winding down in late September and early October.

[@alieshasalisbury1453]

@@WereintheRockies Thank you!

[@fsusarge]

I'm 2 months 4 days from this bucket list trip. Any comment on the flooding impact from you two? Greatly appreciated.

Awesome!!! Yes, I am going to do a KZbin Live to talk about Yellowstone post-flood. It will be this Tuesday.
