We made it to Yellowstone National Park, America's first National Park and the 5th most visited, and WOW, it blew our minds!!! From the colorful and beautiful hot springs, to the erupting geysers, to waterfalls, to a surprise bison encounter, we had the best day on the road so far exploring the southern part of the park. Yellowstone National Park is unlike anything we have ever seen!

Yellowstone is a real highlight! We were there last fall, it's incredible how impressive this area is. At the Grand Prismatic you should definitely do both routes, down and up with a view, both a real experience.

You guys are just living the dream. I am so happy for you. I am a very recent subscriber to your channel. Thanks for getting me more and more excited, each and every day. I have 1 year and 8 months until I hit the road full time. Thanks for keeping me inspired. I can't wait to work from the road and spends weeks at a time in our National Parks, Forests, etc. Be safe out there my friends and thank you again and again!

@AdventuresofAplusK 4 года назад

Thank you so much Billy! The months leading up to hitting the road were extremely hard, but so far it has been worth the headaches. It truly is an amazing lifestyle and we can’t wait for you to experience it too!

@@AdventuresofAplusK Just got your message. Thanks! I am used to being on the road and across the country, just not quite yet as a nomad. I know that it will be so worth it. I have been educating myself so much. I have finally decided on my build out and choice of travel. Planning on (self) building out an 8.5x16 cargo trailer for full time living. Again, will def look forward to meeting you on the road, shaking hands and hugging it out in appreciation for all you guys are doing to encourage me and educate me through this process. Let's set a date, place and time (that's not too weird, right?). :)

Just spent 2 days in Yellowstone and had to rewatch this video to compare. What a new-found respect and appreciation we have for you all to put together such wonderfully-edited and enjoyable videos. It’s challenging when you’re in a new place to get your bearings and figure everything out. There were moments we were very hot and there were a lot of people - I personally may not have been so “camera-ready” if you know what I mean. Lol. But it’s an amazing place and we are so grateful to have experienced it. You guys keep adventuring!

@AdventuresofAplusK 3 года назад

Oh man, it’s tough at times to film, figure out where we are going, and also enjoy the experience simultaneously! Thank you for appreciating the work that goes into it! We sometimes have to take breaks to let our frustrations get out off camera lol, no one wants to see that 😂 We hope you had a great time despite the heat and people!

@mamabear9646 Год назад

The cool thing about Old Faithful is that the eruption is pretty much the same every time and it goes off every hour and a half or so. By the visitor center right by it, they have a board out that shows a few times in advance for Old Faithful as well as times for other geysers right there in the area that you can walk to. There's also a hike that takes you to the hillside above the basin so you can watch multiple eruptions.

Yosemite is a beautiful park! Been there 4 times and loved every time. I actually hiked Biscuit Basin a little bit too! My sister and I did a Thelma and Louise road trip and she had never been so that was one of our stops on the way to WA. We took a little short walk off the main path and it was soooo gorgeous! Stayed in one of their rustic cabins for one night and then treated ourselves to a better night in a lodge. Have yet to see a bear : ( but have seen buffalo, elk and moose. Still want to see a bear, preferably from a car. : )
