Well done video. I have visited Yellowstone many times over the last three years. I would add that a common mistake is for people to go to the various sites late morning to late afternoon and it is hard to get parking spaces. I would suggest going into the park after 4:00 PM and the crowds have dissipated quite a bit. In June, July, and August, it gets dark late so there is plenty of time to see the sites.

I worked three summers in Yellowstone. When tourist would ask how long they need to stay in the park, I'd say at least 5 days, then I'd tell them what to see. And yes, Riverside and Beehive are two of my favorites. I've seen Beehive go off three times. Yellowstone is a big park, and I need to get back there. Even after three summers, there are still things I need to see. Plus I need to smell that special smell again :)

After decades of wanting to visit, finally going next week.
Thank you for this informative video!

I’m planning a 2 1/2 month road trip throughout the US and Canada. I will be spending 10 days between Yellowstone and theGrand Teton National Parks. 👍🏻

So glad you added a note about seeing the little geysers and thermal features. Anemone Geyser (near Old Faithful) is my all-time favorite. It's usually active every 10 minutes or so, and when it's finished splashing and spouting, it flushes itself. Makes me laugh every time.

Definitely a spectacular park with some awesome spots to see! The Grand Prismatic Springs and its nearby overlook, Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and Old Faithful Geyser in particular are must-sees. Thanks for making this video.

We just did the Tetons, Yellowstone and Glacier.
Be sure to do the Teton scenic bypass. You really need to get inside Grand Teton Natl Park. Seeing it from a distance is NOT the same.

I’m usually somewhat skeptical about videos such as this but, after watching this one, I was very impressed with your comprehensive and informative effort. As a long-time visitor to Yellowstone (it’s probably my favorite place on Earth!) I found myself totally agreeing with every single one of your tips. I especially liked the tips concerning the thermal features… I dearly love Old Faithful, but many of my favorite geysers are some of the lesser known, more interesting ones (such as Lone Star). My advice to visitors would be to get out of your car, get your feet on the trail or boardwalk, spend as much time as you can afford, and allow yourself to sink into the place and let the amazing details of this wonderland reveal themselves. Yellowstone (and Grand Teton) are genuine treasures that require some time and effort to truly appreciate, and I feel that your video will be a great help to first time and repeat visitors alike.

This is a great list. We were last there in 2019 and I think we did everything right lol. We camped at Madison campground for 7 nights, with a day trip to Grand Teton NP and plenty of time exploring the park. I told my kids at the time that Yellowstone could really be several national parks if it wasn't so close together (e.g. the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone could definitely be one).

I have friends who have done things like "15 National parks in 2 weeks" sorts of tours... I may never see as many parks as they have, but I'll have seen much deeper within the parks we did go to.

Thank you so much for a wonderful video really enjoyed. It did a great job shooting this wonderful video in Yellowstone.

[EnthusiastCarHangar]

Good advice but it also depends on what you are able to do physically and how much time you have.

[kimnowland]

I love this video so much. It's such a beautiful video.
And great information for those of us who are wanting to plan a trip to Yellowstone.

[SusanS]

I also was skeptical about your video, but you did a really nice job. Keep it up.

[virginianalangan]

Thank you. Great info . I never been at Yellowstone but plan to go there From Grand Forks ND

[tamm]

We need to go back in there again….so exciting park to visit. Didn’t get to see everything…

[martinjdesmond]

Great video. My spouse and I are looking forward to visiting Yellowstone this summer.

[diegoaduriz]

Great video.
Very informative
Thx for sharing

Is one of the mistakes stepping of the board walk and losing a foot? Or petting a bison and losing a kidney?

[seasonfilms]

If you decide to stay in West Yellowstone avoid staying at Hibernation Station. There are much better options. The management there sucks and doesn’t have the customer’s best interest in mind
