13:53 General rule of travelling: Every time you stop somewhere use the facilities, and in rural and wilderness areas (national parks, etc) NEVER pass up a toilet.
And know where they are located.
Great advice! 😆

i loved that sign
@@ProfessorWolters It’s an all timer that’s for sure. BTW, Mark. You gotta delete and report all the cryptocurrency reply bots using your name.
@@tosht2515 I have been reporting them and banned all crypto type words, but RUclips is slow at actually doing anything about it
Lol! These distances are a joke. Grizzly can ran fast. 100 yards will be covered in 5 seconds and then you will be feeding the bears. Every tourist under estimates how fast those animals really can move. Maybe you should do a video on over crowding in the western states. No camping places. I watched tourist camping on the side of the highway so many times this year. Wyoming is getting loved to death.
@@wyomingadventures You should probably alert the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services as well as the state of Wyoming’s since they continue to recommend those distances.
wipe your camera off if it was sprayed with mist from geysers. The spray contents, silica and calcium carbonate, will cause issues and difficult to remove when dried.
don't forget: alcohol + high elevation= extra potent
Having been to Yellowstone, it’s amazing!! Stargazing at night is a glorious sight in and of itself. The Montana entrance has a gas station and a saloon too.
I think stopping by every visitor center is a MUST when visiting a National Park. Especially your very first time. Pick up your map. Ask the Rangers for the most recent park updates. Whether it be road/trail closures, recent bear spottings, or weather forecast. Also the visitor centers sometimes have awesome displays like antique/historic items, fossils, etc.
Man - you and your family REALLY make me want to visit Yellowstone!!! THANKS.
cool!
I went there as a kid, and its unforgettable. Totally worth the crazy traffic jams and wacky weather.
As always, thank you for the videos! My family and I are in Yellowstone now from North Carolina and anytime we vacation, we watch your videos for the best tips.
This is one of the few Yellowstone information videos I’ve seen that’s actually well thought out & accurate, nice work.
This almost moved me to tears. Powerful work. Keep it up.
Yellowstone is so gorgeous! But those animals definitely come up close and personal. One time my Mom went to the bathroom and when she came out a giant bull bison sat down outside the bathroom. Right where the stall my Mom was in. Because of this and many other funny memories I would definitely want to go back!
that is hilaroious.. probably scary for your mom but hilarious for all of us :)
What's your favorite part of the USA,mine is San Francisco
Wow!! What an experience!!!!
Love your channel !! big fan :) keep up the superb work !!
Thank you
Viewing before planning my first trip. Thanks for the informative video! 😊
Going to Grand Teton and Yellowstone this week. Cant wait to get fishin! This video helped a lot. Thanks.
I AM A
FOLLOWER!!!!!! Thanks body for put my country so
high.
Went to Yellowstone last month, it was awesome. Also went to Grand Teton....AMAZING!
Glacier National Park is also a good place to go to. (Just make sure the vacation is extra long, but it's worth it. :) )
@@boardcertifiable that was the trip I made. Glacier to Yellowstone to Grand Teton. About a two week trip for me. It was *wonderful*!
Very Helpful :-) Thanks for the Video :-)
I witnessed an idiot being charged by an elk because he thought he would just walk up and pet her calf. He was lucky he could run fast and she decided not to abandon her baby.
Thank you.
Yellowstone is SO awesome!
We visited in June 2020. It snowed our first day in Jackson Hole. Day 3 we went horseback riding in t-shirts and sun hats because it warmed up so much. Be prepared for every type weather when you go there. Bring layers, rain coat, waterproof shoes, hats and gloves. Awesome advice.
Thank you
I love it that you let the fish go or whoever that was let the fish go after filming it kudos to you!
Yellowstone is definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I really hope to come back some day!
One other don't I have: don't drive in the dark, or at least try to avoid it. It gets really dark inside the park, with winding roads along side ravines and large, dark animals possibly popping up right in front of you, it can get a little scary.
When planning my first visit to Yellowstone I was talking to a ranger on the phone with some questions. I was going to be staying at The Old Faithful Inn and that's exactly what she told me. To avoid driving at night.
Can always count on Walter for the best information 💚❤💙🧡💜💛💖👍🏼
thank you
Great video! This is my new favorite channel! :)
Don't forget to carry bear spray and be familiar with how to use it when hiking trails. Also get information from the visitor's center on what to do to avoid a bear attack so you don't have to use the bear spray unless absolutely necessary.
As far as fishing goes, spoon fishing can be fantastic, especially on larger rivers and lakes, such as Lake Trout on Shoshone Lake.
So lucky and thankful to work here. It's more special when you see it in person even if you've loved it for years from home. Great tips!
so cool in person
I've been to Yellowstone. You're observations are right on.
Thanks for this post!
Great video and awesome tips
be extra careful with wildlife during their rut season
indeed!
Thanks for the tips- that was very helpful!🌄
you are very welcome!
You always have such good ideas about travel!
These videos keep me sane 😌 ty
glad i can help!
Went there last year. Going back in about 2 weeks. Map out what you want to do before hand to reduce back tracking.
Thats a lot of information. I would love to go there... Your advices are really helpful
Yellowstone is awesome!
I live about 6 hours from Yellowstone. Our family is going for our nearly annual visit next Friday. Great list Wolter’s World! Well done as always sir!
We’ve been five times since moving to the area. We’ve stayed at Old Faithful Inn, Lake Yellowstone Hotel and Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel, and we have camped in the park. I haven’t stayed outside the park and driven in. I can say that staying in the park lodges and camping are both awesome!
I love this channel! 👍🏽 I've been watching since I was in highschool, and I just graduated college
Glad you have stuck with us for so long!
All great things to know. I really enjoyed visiting Yellowstone recently myself, but I definitely did not spend enough time there. Must go again to see more!
Yellowstone looks incredible from what we've seen online 🤩
Nice shot of the bison taking a poo! 😂🤣🤪 Cracked me up cuz...well...I’m like a little kid!
Great stuff. How bout walkie-talkies? And pre download offline map for GPS to work.
You gotta do one for the smokies
+Cades Cove
we will!
Respect, Respect, RESPECT THE RULES IN THE PARK!
Would love to go but hate crowds. Is it less busy after Labor day?
Yooooo, that country fried steak and mashed potatoes looked amazing. Do you remember where you had it???
I was just there last week! I need to go back... ❤️
I love you man!
That is a beautiful park 😍
“Don’t sleep in” is probably the best advice for any National Park. A mistake we made with Yellowstone was thinking we could just tack the Tetons on as we drove thru to Jackson. Regret not having the time to fully enjoy them!
They make me want to visit everywhere
Awesome video
Hope to go someday. Good information to know
@@user-de8fy1gy2e You aren't the real Wolters World
How far in advance should I make dinner reservations in Jackson if I visit in early June 2022?
我好喜欢这个频道的节目哦💖😳😳😳😳
Carry bear mace, too.
Yeah! Yellowstone national park is one of our favorite places in the world to go backpacking. The best way to leave all of the people behind and really have some fun!
♥️
What is the museum with the T-Rex skulls at the 7:09 part of the video?
1st video watching in this channel
Why are JAC flights so costly? I'm only going if I use ff miles! Also, how to visit as a person who doesn't drive?
Like your videos
I love this dude
Thanks Ed!
@@woltersworld All the best Wolter :)
You are looking so healthy! Good to see!👍👍👏👏👏
this was filmed a bit ago. so probably not looking as healthy, but i am trying
@@woltersworld You keep going. Loving the videos. 😊
If a person wants to avoid large crowds, when is the best season to go or when is off season
I've been twice, once in mid May and once in mid September. I had no problem with crowds either time. It was SO NICE! Avoid the summer. I've heard it's very busy and crowded then.
Never been need to go seeing how I only live 140 miles away. Happy Father's Day Mr. Wolters ✌😎👍🇺🇲🍻
Thanks Brent
Remember that part of why food and gas are so expensive is because it all has to be transported in an extra 2 hours 🤷♀️ also, the main reason you sunburn so quickly is because, with the altitude, you literally are closer to the sun, with less atmosphere between you and it 😅
Quick Q Mark, What happens in the event of emergency there with the lack of mobile phone coverage?
Look awesome though & another thing to add to the list.
Did laugh at the " you will see all parts of nature"😂😂😂😉
Is it realistic to stay in one hotel (close) outside of the park for three days and be able to see most of the park?
Looking for answer too
I did it. I stayed in Gardiner, Montana at the north entrance. I did a lot of driving but it was not an issue as it's all a beautiful drive and you never know what you'll see from one moment to the next. It worked for me. Some people do split their visit and stay at different different areas of the park throughout their stay.
I think we were in the park at the same time. We booked cabins in Yellowstone 10 months in advance.
To late i already did it. 😆 i went back in may. Saw alot of bison and deer. Also went back into Jackson wy and ate some elk and bison steak at the Gun barrel.
Pro-tip: If you don't have children, don't pick the prime summer months. It's already far too crowded. Wait till September, or October, do research about when. Early fall is usually the best time for animal viewing. And avoid the crowds.
I use that tip when traveling anywhere.
Exactly! I've been to Yellowstone twice, in mid May and mid September. It wasn't crowded either time. That was before COVID I think more people discovered our parks and the great outdoors during COVID and now many of our parks are dealing with more crowds.
Going there in August! Thanks!
cheers! have fun!
Great advice! Many people take a look at Old Faithful and get back in their car. There are great board walks "behind" Old Faithful: Grand Geyser, Beehive, Grotto, Castle, and Riverside Geysers. I could easily spend a whole day there. The best time to visit Old Faithful is the morning and evening. The lighting is awesome. Great video and spot on. The places in the park with wireless signal are Old Faithful, Grant, and Canyon. Verizon works best.
How come he got such power,to talk positive things to other people.
I need a DONT of Colorado your videos are the most informing!!
We will get there eventually. My cousin lives in Steamboat so probably will go visit her and stop a few places along the way.
In park the rooms open up a year in advance. The people in the cabin next to us reserved their next year cabin the day they checked out.
@@user-de8fy1gy2elike anyone believes these dumb scams from imposter accounts...
Get you Wolt !,,,,, the camera loves you, you are a natural beast- just like that Yellowstone. ( Jellystone )))
Been to yellowstone like 10 times at least as a MSU alum majoring in Earth Since
An additional reason to not drive over the speed limit is that some areas of the roads around Yellowstone is that there are cliffs nearby off sides of a road to suddenly have a 300 - 500+ ft drop off straight down, beside the chance of a random moose, bear, car, person to be in the middle of the road not moving. Also as mentioned for the mention on the cell service,.. the last time i was there, I had ZERO cell service while inside Yellowstone, several years back.
Not only that but the roads tend to sluff off every year especially going up dead Indian pass!😨
We have owned a cabin just across the border in Idaho and occasionally drive into the park for dinner at Old Faithful or a dip in our secret swimming hole on the Firehole River. Nothing is as irritating as tourists stopping in the middle of the road and holding up traffic for hours. Please be considerate people - some of us do not want to spend an hour looking at your elk or Buffalo. PULL OFF THE ROAD! PLEASE! Same thing if you are pulling a trailer, or for some reason want to drive 20 MPH. PLEASE PULL OVER FREQUENTLY! I cannot stress this enough!
Actually Yellowstone national park is the oldest in the world since it is the first National Park in the world
Omg drink another cup of coffee glamper!
Where do we get the loaded Tator tots, and the steak fingers
Is there anything prettier than Prismatic Springs
Warning Wyoming is over crowded with tourists. It's very dry here. No camp fires. No camping spots either.
Can the visitors center visually show me how far away 25 or 100 yards is? LOL I cannot visualize that to save my life...literally!
Some people don’t get IT!
When first timers don’t know what to expect
👍👍👍👍
And now we know the answer to the age old question: "Do bison poop in the park?" :D
Seriously though, Mark, I love your enthusiasm in these videos. It's clear to see you really enjoy yourself while traveling.
Don’t go between Labor Day and Memorial Day because parts may be close.
Don’t skip bear tooth pass just outside yesterday.
Yeah but between Memorial Day and Labor Day the place is mobbed and I’m sorry that’s just not any fun.
Missed one, don’t be that guy who wears his/her mask outside lol.
Yellowstone is getting so crowded I’m wondering when they’re going to restrict the number of cars that can enter and use some type of a shuttle service similar to Denali. It would lessen the congestion and given that there would be park employee drivers they could keep people from doing stupid crap like walking up to bison. It would also lessen the impact on the park itself.
I'm not sure if that will happen because the eco system is so fragile, just putting a pole in the ground could alter things dramatically due to such abuse of the land in the past, it's a very sensitive area and a worldwide concern. I'm not a foofoo type person but we must be careful about this area.
@@heidimarchant5438 i’m not sure you’re understanding what I’m saying. My suggestion is to reduce the amount of cars in the park in favor of shuttle buses that could be very eco-friendly buses that will greatly lessen the impact on the park and the environment. I’m not sure I understand your comment about sticking a pole in the ground. Anything that would lessen the number of vehicles in the park and thereby decreasing the impact of emissions would seem to be a bonus.
@@pjschmid2251 I understand your statement but maybe I'm thinking more advanced than your suggestion. If we're thinking above ground trams like at Disney world and such then that wouldn't work (hence the pole comment) if your thinking shuttle buses then they already exist however they can be spendy and cheaper if you have a car. And by shuttle I mean tour buses, totally different in other kneck of the woods I'm sure.
@@heidimarchant5438 i’m talking about buses. If you’ve ever been to Denali you know they aren’t horribly expensive and are required. There are only a very limited number of cars allowed into the park each year and it’s based on a lottery. So you really don’t have a choice but to use the park bus. In Denali it’s a bit more of a rustic affair in line with the feel of the park and so the park buses were just re-purposed school buses, very basic. I would never suggest introducing a Disney style tram service that would be awful.
DONT drive an RV to the top when its about to erupt..
At least if you don't want to die like Woody Harrelson did in 2012 ;)
In Finland you don't need any dumb fishing permit to fish in the country, too bad.
That's nice. 🙂
Scary moment my mom dropped her phone off board walks but i was able to get it by planking on boardwalk. Also loved visitor center i got cups hat and magnets. And i tried some slim jim type meat filled with cheese.
Wow. glad you were ok and got the phone
I woulda let it fall in! Aint no way!
You CAN leave your food in your car. Yellowstone bears are not like Yosemite bears, they don't break into cars. It's a learned behavior and they haven't learned it.
Yellowstone seems as complex as a country when it comes to planning, figuring out what to do, weather, and important things to know
