Some of Our Favorite Travel Videos We Think Other Travelers Would Love

Camera Sony Alpha Series: We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

Western Dynamics 4 TB external hard drive. This let's you save your pictures and videos from your SD cards while you travel without having to use a computer.

Manfrotto Tripods: We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

I’m a local and let me just thank you for putting “Avoid the wildlife” high up on your list, a literal life saver.

My family lives near there and unfortunately I've always just taken the mountains and animals for granted. Maybe someday I should go and play tourist.

I went to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone National Parks last summer. It was amazing. I agree with all your tips. But, particularly with the wear layers. It was June and it got cold every night. We’d been there before and I knew to bring something heavier. And let me tell you, it would have less than fun to walk around later in the day if not for the heavy layers. Great tips, great video.

I’m from Australia and visited in Oct 2 years ago. I had a private guide for 2 days cos I didnt want to drive. Such a Gorgeous place. Amazing hiking. Had a great time and got the best photos! My guide and I got there really early both days and I saw all the animals I wanted. Bears on berries, moose, bison, etc. was awesome! :)

This year(I was there beginning of September) at Grand Teton and Yellowstone was great because they did not have tour buses coming through. It appears to be warmer there than in September-there was snow in September(it was below zero most mornings). Bring an ice scrapper you may need it early morning. I spent one night in Yellowstone-the best sleep I had in years-no TV no Wi-Fi no distractions-just an open window and a comfortable bed!

I can't reemphasize Mark's point about giving the animals a wide berth. Last time I was out there, my grandfather mentioned about some idiot photographer in Yellowstone that was about 30' from a bison. Guess who ended up getting gored! A hard lesson learned for that chap. I started my career with the Dept. of Natural resources and I can't tell you how many times people messed with animals thinking they were like the cuddly things they see on Disney, they too ended up paying the price. So not only can you get a rough lesson from the animal, the Park Service Rangers will give you a hefty monetary reminder as well.

I've visited that part of the country many times but Jackson Hole only twice. Yes. Tons to do. Camping, hiking, rafting on the Snake River, fly fishing, rented mountain bikes in Jackson. Even took rock climbing and rappelling lessons. <- I have a fear of heights so that was rough. 😬 Really loving this road trip, Mark.

So glad to see you promoting the USA for travel! Many children never see their own amazing country and end up thousands of miles away in other countries never realizing our treasure RIGHT HERE! Our National Parks are spectacular and each state has its own unique history! Pray for the forest fires PLEASE!

I can't wait to go. This is high on my bucket list.

[Maribelrodriguezlacantante]

I love your videos ! Straight to the point ! Simple and informative

Another heads up is check for road closures due to fire. We were there a few years ago and checked to find that the road we were going to take in two days - the one between Yellowstone and Grand Teton was closed and the detour was very long. A miracle happened (for us) when it opened just 24 hours before we were going to use it. Here in the east, we don't hear about all of the fires in the west. My daughter in CO often is affected. She was walking the dog while it was 'raining ash' in Ft Collins a few days ago. And let's all start taking care of the environment...

I've been watching your videos for the past few years now and I was so excited to see that you visited the Grand Tetons! I went on a solo road trip to the Grand Tetons last year when I was 18 from Minnesota and this was my favorite destination. From someone who has been there, I must say you did a great job, as always, to cover the dos and don'ts of visiting the Grand Tetons! Especially to wear layers because oh my gosh I didn't come prepared and it got almost to 40 degrees when during the day it was 80+

Horseback riding is fantastic in the Tetons. Did a guided fishing trip on horseback a couple of years ago.

Interstate 80 is a bit south at Rock springs. Turn of early and go north until you're north of Jackson. Great view going down into the valley.

[MsFoxy-hwjp]

Very informative!! Great tips and points throughout the whole video!! Seriously a lot of stuff you wouldn't think about and forgetting even just a couple items could really slow your vacation down.

[travel-bestdestinations]

Thanks for the video Mark. We took the Wyoming, Idaho road trip two weeks ago. It was amazing. All your tips are very valid.

[janiceschroeder]

Also, be careful driving in the dark. Obey the speed limit or go a little slower. I almost ran into a herd of elk crossing the Rockefeller parkway because the headlights from oncoming traffic made them impossible to see. Watch out for any little flicker of movement in the corner of your eye. It could be an animal or animals!

[ecurewitz]

I'd dtotally love to go there. The scenery looks fantastic.

[joselozano]

These videos are inspiring me to take a roadtrip across the US with my old creshed
