1. Don’t speed. 2 Don’t worry about running out of gas 3. Don’t expect to have cellular coverage. 4. Don’t always expect to have beautiful vistas every where you drive. 5. Don’t forget to notice small pine trees as you drive. 6. Don’t drive too slow. 7. Don’t expect to drive get around too quickly. 8. Don’t expect to avoid traffic jams. (Bison jams, bear jams) 9. Don’t expect to find parking everywhere. 10. Don’t get out of your car to challenge bison or buffalo 😅

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.

Thanks Matt for your insight into the Park ❤ I spent 5 weeks in and out of the Park in 2009 🎉 I see the speeds have went up from the 35 mph they were then... I also see much wider roads too... Can't really figure out why folks are in such a hurry in the Park in the first place as even Lodge Pole Pines are pretty and hide many creatures 🤔 I stayed in the double cabins in the old wooden Canyon Village ❤ before it was all rebuilt 😊 Too bad them floods took out so much Beauty in the park, especially the winding of the North Entrance road into Mammoth 😢 I also stayed in Paradise Valley for 10 days ❤

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

@alansach8437 Год назад

"Do not honk at elk, moose or bison!" As the ranger drives around you and blows his horn at the elk, moose and bison to get them off the road! In fact, they have loud "clickers" on their vehicles. They drive straight at the animals, blow their horns and turn on the clickers, "CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!" The animals go running in every direction!

@cierakitty Год назад

@@alansach8437 Ever stop to think......the bison know their horns...and are used to them. Now...think how many different sounding horns there are out there....sound means a lot to an animal. In other words...you don't want to get a bison confused...they get excited...you figure out the rest.

@boobtubeakatv1296 Год назад

YES... DO Honk if you need them to move !!! Otherwise just kick back and marvel at wildlife and the wilderness 🎉 P.S. They are NOT afraid of the size of your vehicles a bit...😅

@cierakitty Год назад

Which is why if getting a rental car...take out the ins. In August however, during rut...it don't take much of anything to get a bull angry

@b4peace1 10 месяцев назад

@Bigfoot-px9gj 2 месяца назад

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...

@WereintheRockies 2 месяца назад

Yes! April/May and Sept/Oct are great times to go.

@jimgreen5788 Год назад

Matt, another reason for adhering to the speed limit re. animals is that, in reverse, they can do a number on our vehicles, and wrinkle us up in the bargain. These aren't the size of kittens, folks. #8 is what disappointed me 2 years ago when I was there. I didn't get to see Yellowstone Lake, which was a real disappointment.

@ThePhotobug561 Год назад

@itsnotthesamething 5 месяцев назад

Don't know if I'll ever make it there, but it's on my wish list. Your video is very informative! I think visitors caught doing things that could be life threatening should receive bans from state parks. Maybe a five year ban to start, and if they're caught again, a permanent ban. And the chance of being banned should be clearly posted at park entrances and visitor centers throughout the park, plus nearby restaurants and shops. I'll check out some of your other vids. Thank you!

End of the 50's mom decided to leave the park early to avoid the traffic. We were in for surprises we weren't expecting. We were in "Time for bears crossing" we saw so many, they had shiny coats because they weren't bears that were fed by the tourists. 2 decided to have a brall in the middle of the road, what fun. Once their tiff was over they moved on.

#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.

@stokebailey 11 месяцев назад

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.

@alansach8437 Год назад

Of course.....if everyone takes your advice........ This is how the internet has ruined just about everything. In the past it used to take learning and years of experience to discover secret fishing holes, special times to visit special places, where to go to see the best sunrise. Where to see the best sunset. Where to find wildlife, or quiet places. And the places and experiences remained special for the next generation to "discover". Nowadays, people discover these things and immediately blab on the internet (social media!). Places with no crowds suddenly have crowds. Great experiences are ruined. When you find something special, tell a friend....maybe, but don't blab to the masses. There won't be anything special left!

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.

No, your phone would have to connect with cell tower and there are only a few at major places and unreliable. Best and most common way for groups are FRS radios.

But beware there are limited channels and lots of people using them in these situations, be prepared for an 8yo trying to reach parents and clogging up channel.

#ACCURATE Having been a couple times and headed back in July 2023, you are 100% correct on everyone of these tips. Great job!

@WereintheRockies Год назад

Great to hear! Have a great time.

One thing ya don’t don’t drive up to a bull Bison in your VW beetle and honk the horn to get him out of the road… he will put one of his horns under one side of the car and tip it over… I mean (up side down) … did see it happen… Some people are just stupid…

Wow! That's crazy.

For the parking situation, the lots get full with busses and RV's besides the cars. Please don't park illegally or on non-designated area. This could lead to fires from hot engines or oil drips ruining the grounds and eco system of the surrounding areas. Be respectful and responsible. Don't litter or leave your mark on anything. Let's keep its natural beauty intact.

@WereintheRockies Год назад

Agreed! Thanks for sharing.

@richardpearce2186 Год назад

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!

@WereintheRockies Год назад

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

I live in SoCal, I keep on forgetting that forest fires are also a natural occurrence. For almost all my life its mostly been of human cause

Went to Yellowstone in 2020. Every single time there was some moron driving like an idiot or parking their car in the middle of the road the car had California plates! Every-single-time.

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

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.

@donalddday7741 6 месяцев назад

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 6 месяцев назад

To see more wildlife, off season is definitely nice. However, most of the roads are closed in winter. Late fall is a great time.

@csiegel7672 11 месяцев назад

what about - don't stop in the middle of the road ????????????????????????????????????????????

@douglasdever6134 Год назад

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.

@jdinhuntsvilleal4514 Год назад

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.

@WereintheRockies Год назад

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.

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.
