Twilight at Wapiti - Hiking the Yellowstone Ecosystem 

Thanks for taking us on the trail again, Stan. Your friend Kasey must be thinking about the punchline of the old bear joke: "I just need to be able to outrun you!!". Your SX70 sure hasn't lost its "reach". Your artworks are outstanding.

Never too soon to teach the younger generation respect and conservation of Mother Nature's gifts.

Thank you Stan, I am always happy when a new video from you pops up. You are the only hiker who takes us into the middle of the wilderness as though you are not there. That comes of course with big chances you take running into dangerous wildlife.by being as soundless as possible. I know you take chances when you approach chest-high underbrush; anything can be lying in there...I of course am thinking grizzly. Today was a rarity...you were not alone. :) I hope you consider leaving some of your wildlife art to the Smithsonian. There are many artists popping up and the world is never short of any art desired, but there are very few outstanding wildlife artists. They still inspire awe and no photography can take its place. I tried to figure out why that is and even if I was right about that, but at the end I realized that is how it is. People get immense pleasure looking at the hand-drawn eyes for instance of a wolf or bear. Perhaps it is the intimate relationship between the artist and the animal. With true wildlife it has to be imagined by the artist that comes from getting to know the animals in their habitat. Why was Rockwell so famous? Many artists painted people. But Rockwell did one thing different! He did not imagine scenarios for the people he wanted to paint. . He traveled and painted people in their own environments as he found them. It showed! His paintings are a true-life moment of real people's lives. Wildlife paintings are the same. Except the models are not exactly easy to come across and not many artists cherish the thought of getting eaten by their own models. All of us who subscribe to Stan know he is an artist who does just that and all his beautiful art shows a moment of the artist's and the model's real life....not imagined! No middleman! Long comment? ( Some may call it babbling instead. ) Yes... and I hope I didn't bore too many of you but not all thoughts can be handled in one or two sentences.

Amazing views and I love all the wildlife. We're going back for our second visit in a couple weeks, I'm so excited!!😁

Thank You Mr. Mills

The map is back! My husband & I enjoy exploring Northwest WY & the Big Horns when we can get away from KY. A big thank you for leaving the park cleaner than you found it. As always, thanks for sharing.

Can't fault the grizzlies. Those spring beauty bulbs are pretty good fare! Nice video Stan - blessings to you.

Super cool! Amazing wildlife. I also find a good amount of balloons in the Washington Cascades. People don’t realize that when they let go of the balloon, it eventually comes back down. Thank you for picking them up!

I say ban all party balloons. Great hike Stan as always.

That was a great day in Wapiti looks like it’s starting to get green . Moose are always nice to see an the wolf an beautiful owl loved it . Great digs a lot of nice spring beauty’s for the bears .

I thought Wapati was closer to the east gate of Y stone..the map you pointed to at the beginning was North of Y Stone. Wapati is between Cody and The East Gate..its my happy place! We used to hike and fish that area all the time when we lived there.I hate Florida where I live now.

Great video!! 👍👍

Thank you! I’ve learnt a lot from watching your videos.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

What a gift. A Stan Mills hike thru Yellowstone. Have to say that Moose looked at you like ‘what the heck ya looking at tourist?’ 😂😂.

Again another epic vidja stan been thru youtubes yellowstone vidjas most are loud music and talk alot doco's - They should learn from you why stans the man for yellowstone Videos .

I enjoy your videos, thumbs up to leaving the park cleaner than you found it. 👍🏻👍🏻 There is no telling how far that balloon travelled before dropping where you found it, those darn things are everywhere.

You're a lucky guy...

I've had a similar owl in my backyard a few days this winter. Must be difficult for them to find mice.

The magnificent Great Grey Owl!

Good video. This Fall, I have seen a lot more Bears than last year. I am not sure if making noise works. Happy Trails.

Is this region currently undergoing draught conditions?

👍👍👌🇨🇦✌

Disturbing that you are finding party balloons or any kind of trash. No excuses , people need to respect nature and what we have
