Great info! We are planning a road trip through Idaho and will hit 7 of the places mentioned. Woohoo! I would have liked to hear a little more of each place-- especially the iconic places to eat as you did with Stanley.
Yes, Yellowstone is partially in Idaho, BUT, there is no entrance into Idaho, or from Idaho into the park. BTW it is pronounced “Show-shone” Falls, by the locals.
Stanley does not have a population of "just a few thousand people." It's population of year-round residents numbers in the low hundreds - around 300, give or take. 4:22 The animals in that herd are bighorn sheep, NOT mountain goats. 4:23 That single, white animal is a mountain goat, NOT a bighorn sheep. 4:54 You fail math. 600 feet is NOT equivalent to 800 meters. 800 meters is 2,624 feet, whereas 600 feet is just under 183 meters. Oops. 5:57 It's sho-SHONE Falls, or Sho-SHO-nee Falls, named after the Shoshoni Indians. It's NOT SHOE-shone Falls and they were not and are NOT the SHOE-shone Indians. 8:34 While it is true that a relatively narrow sliver of Yellowstone National Park lies within the boundaries of the state of Idaho, most of the park lies within northwest Wyoming, and there are no geothermal features/attractions or park entrances on the Idaho side. Park entrances are located in Wyoming and Montana. That being said, visiting Yellowstone National Park should be on everyone's bucket list.
Bummer--I wish I had read your comment before I just spent nearly 30 minutes correcting various errors, including those you've mentioned. Consequently, it made sense to simply delete my original comment. The only exception that I have with what you wrote pertains to the population of Stanley. When I lived there the sign at the edge of town said Population 99. The 2020 census says it is 116. Hard to tell what the real count is of permanent residents, but I doubt if it is anywhere near 300. In that range though, the numbers don't mean all that much.
