I've watched a million Yellowstone vids for a project I'm researching and hands down I've learned more from this video than all of them. Great job. Thank you.
I have been to Yellowstone multiple times (I live in Bozeman, MT), and by far my favorite time to go has been in August for colors, and around May for the wildlife including the grizzlies.
One October we went to wait for Grand Geyser which is a predictable geyser, but has a pretty large +/- window. We went and took a book and some cards and camped out. There were a few other hardy people doing the same. We chatted and had fun passing the time. When it finally erupted it was so worth it! Grand Geyser is the best! So tall, so beautiful! and a long eruption too.
I think if we were closer to Yellowstone and could go more often, that would be a great way to spend an afternoon. Unfortunately we only had two days and we wanted to see as much as possible, so we'll have to save Grand Geyser for next time. :)
12:26 I have pretty much the same exact video from about 2.5 weeks after you posted this. Yellowstone was definitely a trip of a lifetime and am so glad my family made it out there from Pennsylvania last year. We visited 11 of the locations in this video. Grand prismatic springs was by far my favorite. Aside from the list you have, my all time favorite part of our Yellowstone trip was a hike up a mountain (1,100 feet up) to see the Petrified Redwood forest/petrified giant redwood stump. The view from on top was absolutely AMAZING and so worth the very strenuous (and "inhumanely steep", not my words), non-managed trail to see it all. To anybody who sees this, definitely go to Yellowstone if you have the chance (and spend more than 4 days there if you can!). Also, the cross-country drive was really amazing (being able to see the changing landscape, as well as Mount Rushmore and Wall Drug-in South Dakota on our way back)!
Glad you got to see so much. We stopped in the Petrified Forest in Arizona on this road trip (ruclips.net/video/-Kh4YY8qirw/видео.html) but we had no idea there was a petrified forest in Yellowstone. Do you remember the name of the mountain you hiked to see it? -Brian
When I was younger I think I've been to Yellowstone two or three times. And watching your video I just cried. It Has changed so much and it brought back so many memories. And you're right you will never see anything like this. It has added things it didn't have when I was there. But I'm glad they have made it safer and giving you more information like the big huge visited Center and safety platforms and things like that also. I think everyone should visit there at least once because it is a phenomenal place. And I'm glad that you got to visit there with your son hopefully you'll get to visit there again when he's old enough to appreciate it. But for now he sure looked like he was having a good time. He's darling. Thank you guys so much for sharing and by the way this isn't the first time I watch this video. It happened to pop up so I thought I'd watch it again LOL. God bless and take care of each other. I also wanted to add that there are a lot of things they didn't have their new geysers have popped up from what I see from when I was there and with all the talk of Yellowstone becoming dangerous of late, he knows what things will be like in 10 years maybe. Anyway again God bless and thank you for sharing.
Always a pleasure to see new comments from you, Denise. Glad we could show you the updated version of Yellowstone. I'm sure it's changed a lot, even in just the last few years. I really hope we can bring Kai back to Yellowstone when he's older. Next time we want to go out to Lamar Valley and see all the wolves and bears and bison. We think he'll really love that part of Yellowstone. -Brian
The off-season is best. It looks like May is awesome. I have never been there in May. I have been there three times in October. One time it snowed like crazy! It was awesome to see the geysers and hot springs in the cold! Lots of steam like you had. Grand Prismatic Spring was hard to see, but the geyser basins were awesome!
I forgot to add that the one time it snowed we were trapped at Old Faithful area for half a day until they cleared the roads. It wasn't such a bad place to be trapped. After the roads cleared we went over to the canyon and falls area. It snowed more and we got trapped there for a bit until they cleared roads again. Again, it wasn't closed down all day. Just for a few hours. There was a lot of snow, but it was beautiful and we enjoyed!
We actually visited at the end of October (I uploaded this in May because it takes me forever to edit). This was filmed on October 27-28, 2018. We got really lucky with the weather - it just flurried a little bit, but didn't shut any roads down or delay us at all.
Yeah, our cousin went the week before we did and all the roads were shut down from heavy snow so she couldn't explore a majority of the park. It's risky to go this late in the season, but it's worth it if you luck out with the weather because there is hardly anybody else there! -Brian
So fun to see your perspective of Yellowstone. Since I grew-up in Idaho, going at least once or twice each Summer I forgot how truly amazing it is. I remember spending many a week during the summer with my aunts, uncles, cousins and family members at Fisherman's Bridge. The plan was to eat fish that was caught everyday. I think that is when I developed my dislike of fish. I think that Tom and I need to plan a trip to Yellowstone.
Yellowstone NP is what we've been planning to visit by the end of July next year, and you guys give me so many useful tips! Thank you so much for sharing and what a lovely baby you have! You guys are so blessed :)
That geyser at 8:01 (the Twig geyser) is my favorite as well! It and the other four main geysers in that area erupt almost constantly. If you're lucky, you can catch several of them going off at once!
@@PerfectLittlePlanet Definitely. I can't quite place it, but the awe-inspiring power of Yellowstone is really strong there. Perhaps it's because of the tragedy surrounding the Celestine pool, or simply because of the geological diversity in that particular area. Definitely one of my favorite places in the park.
Thank you for sharing! Excellent quality video; keep 'em coming! I agree with others' assessments: you have happy, cordial personalities, providing viable information for anyone contemplating a visit to Yellowstone.
Hi Kenn, thanks so much for the kind comment! Glad the info we provided in the video was useful. :) We've got lots more coming, just need to find the time to edit. Hopefully soon! -Brian
This is the best video I've seen. You two are so genuinely adorable and the excitement in your voice is so great. My husband and i are planning our trip to Yellowstone late August and I am so excited to go there, so is he but he hitch hiked through yellow stone in 1971 so i guess i can say he's been there...LOL. Anyway you guys have a great video. and your baby is adorable!
Thank you so much, Yolanda! I imagine things have changed considerably since 1971, so it'll feel new to your husband, too. Hope you have a great trip! -Brian
Oh my gosh it's so good to hear from you guys. Hey little guy! I've been to Yellowstone two times in my life and it took two days to go through then but I'm here to tell you you have so much better access now than there was when I was younger. I'm sure it's still stinky! But it was very beautiful and now you can see what we were only able to see at a distance. Your are Lucky. A lot has changed obviously. I'm glad that Kai is able to enjoy this with you. I'm very thankful that every year we went on the massive vacation and see a lot of wonderful things almost like your route 66 trip but every year. To different places. In the states of course but that's not the point. Who knows what it's going to be like when Kai has a family and takes them to Yellowstone. But hey, not so fast right? LOL. Well I think I watch this again. Good to hear from you guys and you have a very blessed day! I also meant to tell you that it has grown the Aries here talkin about like the painted pots and butthole view of all the Steam and many many different bubbling pits have gotten bigger from what I can see. I just know that it appears to have doubled in size and I guess maybe it's because now you have a better access than we did. Okay I'm done hope to hear from you again soon. Take care.
Denise, it's good to hear from you also! I'm glad they've improved Yellowstone over the years to give better access to these amazing natural phenomenons. It will be really interesting to see what it looks like when Kai is older. I'm sure we'll go back again. He loves animals, so we're planning on going back in a few years to check out Lamar Valley with all the bison and wolves and bears. Take care! -Brian
First of all ,you guys have an absolutly beautiful child ! And thanks for sharing the video. The grand canyon is another place that the camera just doesn't do it justice You guys do have a beautiful son
Great video footage. I am planning a trip to Yellowstone and I watched or clicked through several videos in preparation. Very much like this one for clear crisp video footage, some explanation, inspiration, and enjoyable camera people. No annoying stuff like on other videos. Thanks.
We are planning to go to Yellowstone next month after the park reopen, I’m watching this to get an idea on what to see you there. Your baby is so adorable!
Just came back from vacationing in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Both were unbelievable. Grand Prismatic Spring and Mud Volcano were my favorites. Unfortunately Uncle Tom's trail was closed. Stayed 3 days in Grant Village and 2 in West Yellowstone, MT. Upper and Lower Falls were pretty awesome as well. Great vid!
Glad you got to Upper Falls. We only saw that one from a distance. Too bad Uncle Tom's trail was closed. Sounds like you had a great trip. I haven't been to Grand Teton in ages. Time to go back and explore, for sure. What were your favorite parts of Grand Teton? -Brian
Hello again Brian, Isa and Kai....nice to hear from you guys again....We visited Yellowstone many years ago....pre-kids and didn't have much time to see everything... you three really saw lots.....gives us a reason to go back!!!!Your video was one of your best....well done!!!....Just got back from our yearly Summer road trip....saw lots, but didn't get to Yellowstone....All the Best.....Hank Pam from South Texas...
What were your top spots from your road trip? You did AZ, NM, UT, and CO, right? I'm sure it was awesome. Definitely get to Yellowstone again some time. It's amazing!! -Brian
Hey Brian....I see you remembered our itinerary....We went North to Amarillo and got on Rt. 66...Cadillac Ranch, Adrian(midpoint of Rt.66), Glenrio, Tucumcari, Grants, Gallup(Visited the El Rancho Hotel....home of Movie stars... really a must see), Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, Winslow and the "Standing on the Corner Park", Meteor Crater, stayed at the La Pasada Hotel in Winslow....really cool spot, Sedona, Williams, Seligman, Grand Canyon South, Monument Valley, the Forest Gump Road(dozens of people there taking pics on the yellow line like Forrest did) Page with the Horseshoe Bend and Slot Canyon tours, Bryce N.P., Kodachrome Basin, Capital Reef N.P., Goblin Valley S.P., Moab, Canyonlands, Arches, and Dead Horse S.P., The old steam engine....Cumbes- Toltec Railroad was really cool...7 hour ride from Charma to Antonita and bus back, then White Sands N.P., and back to Texas via the El Capitan Hotel(really nice spot)….I remember when you guys were driving your 10000 miles.... well we did 4138 in 2 weeks!!!! All the best to you and Family
Oh wow, I didn't realize that platform was so new. How much farther back did you have to stand to watch Old Faithful before the platform was constructed?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet You had to stand on the asphalt walkway going from the old faithful inn to the visitors center. They had a long log fence by the trees that you could lean against or sit on while waiting. The other option was the old faithful inn viewing deck, its up higher but a bit further away, anyone can go up there and enjoy the view, you didn't have to be a guest there or anything to be there which is nice. I like that one for colder weather months more since you can duck into the inn for warmth if needed fairly quickly.
When we drove through Montana on our road trip we decided to go to Glacier National Park instead of Yellowstone. Glacier has some epic views but Yellowstone is a whole new world! Did you visit both when you lived there? -Brian
If you continued on the loop trail past artists point, there is a mini mud Volcano section that is not labeled and does not have boardwalks. There is about 8 mud volcanos that you can get right next to (but obviously don’t) it is near sour lake
Wow, thank you so much, Martin! So happy you liked it. We had such a good time at Yellowstone and I'm glad that seemed to come across in the video. :) Take care! -Brian
It really depends on the experience you want to have. A guided tour is a lot more informative so if you want to focus on learning about Yellowstone and the different geological features, definitely take a guided tour. But if you want to just enjoy being in nature and taking your time wandering through the different areas, definitely do not take a tour.
Yeah, early June would be a great time to visit. It's before a lot of schools get out, so you should beat the highest tourist activity. And the weather should be amazing. Have fun! -Brian
We visited at the end of October, so you won't be quite as cold as us. :) My brother lives in Florida and he sent me pictures of frost on his lawn, so Yellowstone might be nice compared to that. Have fun!!
We went at the end of October. It's a risky time to go because if it snows, they close roads so you might not be able to access things. My friend went a week _before_ we went and it snowed the whole weekend and the only thing she could visit was Old Faithful. But if you get lucky, like we did, the place is empty and it's awesome. -Brian
Wonderful! You picked May to go??Lots of baby animals?? Was Old faithful Inn open? If not you got to go back !! 😂 I love the smell of Yellowstone! Crazy 😜 me 😂
We were actually there in October, but it took me a while to edit and upload the video. I don't believe the Old Faithful Inn was open. Should we stay there in the future?
That's a nice little video you've got there. Well done. Thanks for the safety messages at 4:14, 5:50 and 7:08. A couple of other notes ... (1:30) please don't run on the boardwalks ... (3:47) not all geysers are predictable, just six (five in the Upper Geyser Basin plus Great Fountain Geyser) ... that's Lower Falls (@ 8:53), not "South Falls." It is clear why some people think working in YNP is the best job in the world. Nice video. Be safe, be well.
Thanks for the added tips and clarifications. Sorry for running on the boardwalk, I can definitely see how that could be dangerous. Do you work at the park?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet I took the summer of 2020 off due to the pandemic. Please understand that my comments are just my own and I don't speak for any possible employer.
@@billzager4874 for sure. We appreciate any comments that help us learn. We know hundreds of thousands of people watch these videos, so it's important to us to be good examples. So we really appreciate any time somebody calls us out on how we can do better. Thank you!
Wow this is a very informative video and will help a lot of viewers who are planning to visit the park with kids or baby =) You guys are awesome! I have a question though, with the 2 days exploring the park where did you guys stay/hotel? After each day did you just go back the same hotel? Thank you this will help a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much. We stayed at a hotel in West Yellowstone. We tried to plan our visit so at the end of each day we'd be on the west side of the park so it wouldn't be too far to get back to the hotel. -Brian
I love this so much. You guys explained everything almost perfectly. My only question is about time. We're planning 2 full days at Yellowstone at the end of Sept. I'm guessing it's enough time to do all of this correct?
...to do everything we did, yes. We filmed this over two days, so you can definitely do the same. However, if you want to visit Lamar Valley or spend more time exploring a particular area, you might want to stay a third day.
Fun! Here are a few tips: bring a lot of snacks and toys for the car. Learn how to (if you don't know already) change diapers in your car - we use the passenger seat with a travel changing pad. Use a good baby carrier backpack like we have, one that's comfortable for you and the baby. The more comfortable the better, because the swaying while you walk will help the baby fall asleep when you explore. Normally when we travel, we try to plan around Kai's nap, but Yellowstone is so big that it's just not possible. Assume your baby is not going to nap and it's going to be awful. Just be ready for a fussy, whiny baby. That way, if they do nap, it's a pleasant surprise. We found that Kai will fall asleep eventually if he really needs it. Hope you have a great trip!
Thanks. Sometimes it takes us a few days to reply, but we really enjoy interacting with everyone in the comments. It makes it feel more like a community. :) Thanks for commenting! -Brian
I'm planning a trip here next August so your video was extremely helpful! I have a question, I'm bringing my little pup with me and wondered if you saw any pets on the boardwalks where you took some video, I'm wondering if he can go on the walks with me. Thanks!
We did not see any pets on the boardwalks. Sadly, National Parks are not very pet friendly. Yellowstone is so treacherous with all the hot springs and boiling mud that I'd be scared to bring a pet in there anyways. Check out this blog post I found for lots of helpful info about dogs in Yellowstone: blog.gopetfriendly.com/achieving-balance-with-pets-in-yellowstone/
We went the last weekend in October, just before the roads closed to cars for the winter. We got lucky with the weather - it was cold but it didn't snow. It's risky to go that late in the season. Yes, the place is practically empty, but the weather could turn bad and roads can close at any moment. My friend went the week before this and half the park was inaccessible due to snow. Just watch the weather closely before you go. -Brian
Definitely enjoyed your video, but little guy had me rolling {laughing hard} everytime he laughed. what a happy boy. I thank you for posting. since ive never been ,i can die tomorrow and say i did, { I suppose in heaven, lol}
Yes, we got really lucky with such a happy boy. And I hope you can visit Yellowstone in real life because it's even more amazing in person. Thanks for watching! -Brian
We were there at the very end of the season, in late October. June is a crowded time to visit, but there are lots of animals out so that will be really nice. The earlier in June, the better, since the weather will be a bit nicer and kids won't be out of school yet so there'll be fewer visitors. -Brian
We had some friends go mid-June this year and they had a great experience. It was definitely a lot more crowded than in this video, but it wasn't as bad as July 4th or other weekends in July. Just plan on going to the most popular sites you want to see earlier in the day. -Brian
FYI ... Its still a volcano, your just able to walk on it . Old Faithful isn't as predictable as her has been in the past . Sometimes she goes off on time and sometimes she doesnt . That info came from a couple Park Rangers we have talked to .
You're right - I misspoke. Yellowstone is definitely still a volcano, and with the magma not too far below the surface, it's not as dormant as so many other extinct volcanos we've hiked before. Thanks for the comment! -Brian
Thanks for the great video! We just left Yellowstone today after spending two days there. Very beautiful but crowded this time of the year. BTW, what kind of camera are you guys using for your vlogs. Are you on a gimbal or stabilizer? It captured some awesome footage!!
We use a Canon G7X Mark II. It's a great camera with built-in stabilization. I add a little more smoothing in Final Cut Pro when I edit the video. I don't use a gimbal or any additional stabilizer. Thanks for the compliment! -Brian

Used to live/work at a ski lodge near W Yellowstone. Really is a beautiful place.
I bet that was such a great experience! We would love to live closer to Yellowstone so we could visit more frequently.
You guys did a GREAT job on this video. I have never seen such a good view of Yellowstone. I'm truly impressed. I'll be sure to watch all your videos.

To different places. In the states of course but that's not the point. Who knows what it's going to be like when Kai has a family and takes them to Yellowstone. But hey, not so fast right? LOL. Well I think I watch this again. Good to hear from you guys and you have a very blessed day! I also meant to tell you that it has grown the Aries here talkin about like the painted pots and butthole view of all the Steam and many many different bubbling pits have gotten bigger from what I can see. I just know that it appears to have doubled in size and I guess maybe it's because now you have a better access than we did. Okay I'm done hope to hear from you again soon. Take care.
Denise, it's good to hear from you also! I'm glad they've improved Yellowstone over the years to give better access to these amazing natural phenomenons. It will be really interesting to see what it looks like when Kai is older. I'm sure we'll go back again. He loves animals, so we're planning on going back in a few years to check out Lamar Valley with all the bison and wolves and bears. Take care! -Brian
First of all ,you guys have an absolutly beautiful child ! And thanks for sharing the video. The grand canyon is another place that the camera just doesn't do it justice You guys do have a beautiful son
Thank you so much for the compliment. :) And yes, we've been to the Grand Canyon and it really doesn't come across on camera. -Brian
AMAZING! Thank you for sharing:)
Thanks for watching and commenting! -Brian
Cant wait, I'm coming all the way from Louisiana to visit in August. Excited!
Are you road-tripping up or flying? How long are you staying?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet we are doing a road trip. This will be the furthest in the states, we have traveled. We are coming for 3 days.
This is my first video of yours... you two (three) are darling! Brian you create GREAT videos, thanks for sharing.
Aww, thank you so much for your support. We really appreciate it! -Brian
Well said!!!
Thank you.
Great video !! I truly in joined it.
So glad! Thanks for watching!
Great video footage. I am planning a trip to Yellowstone and I watched or clicked through several videos in preparation. Very much like this one for clear crisp video footage, some explanation, inspiration, and enjoyable camera people. No annoying stuff like on other videos. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the compliments. Glad you enjoyed our video and that you found it helpful. Hope you have a great trip!
We are planning to go to Yellowstone next month after the park reopen, I’m watching this to get an idea on what to see you there. Your baby is so adorable!
Aww, thank you! :) Have fun on your visit. Yellowstone is amazing!!
Perfect Little Planet will do.. thank you. 🥰
Just came back from vacationing in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. Both were unbelievable. Grand Prismatic Spring and Mud Volcano were my favorites. Unfortunately Uncle Tom's trail was closed. Stayed 3 days in Grant Village and 2 in West Yellowstone, MT. Upper and Lower Falls were pretty awesome as well. Great vid!
Glad you got to Upper Falls. We only saw that one from a distance. Too bad Uncle Tom's trail was closed. Sounds like you had a great trip. I haven't been to Grand Teton in ages. Time to go back and explore, for sure. What were your favorite parts of Grand Teton? -Brian
Beautiful video and family. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We hope you have a great day! :) -Brian
I used to work at the Terrace Grill in Mammoth Hot Springs and I got to see a lot of cool things while I was living in the employee dorms
I'll bet! To live inside Yellowstone would be so cool! -Brian
Wow! This video is so helpful. We’re headed that way next week!
Have fun! Yellowstone is so fun and unique! I hope you have a great experience! -Brian
Super fun video! Thanks for the insight!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching! :) -Brian
Y’all are so Cute! Made it fun to watch.
Thanks so much, Bob! That's so nice of you to say. :)
Hello again Brian, Isa and Kai....nice to hear from you guys again....We visited Yellowstone many years ago....pre-kids and didn't have much time to see everything... you three really saw lots.....gives us a reason to go back!!!!Your video was one of your best....well done!!!....Just got back from our yearly Summer road trip....saw lots, but didn't get to Yellowstone....All the Best.....Hank Pam from South Texas...
What were your top spots from your road trip? You did AZ, NM, UT, and CO, right? I'm sure it was awesome. Definitely get to Yellowstone again some time. It's amazing!! -Brian
Hey Brian....I see you remembered our itinerary....We went North to Amarillo and got on Rt. 66...Cadillac Ranch, Adrian(midpoint of Rt.66), Glenrio, Tucumcari, Grants, Gallup(Visited the El Rancho Hotel....home of Movie stars... really a must see), Petrified Forest and Painted Desert, Winslow and the "Standing on the Corner Park", Meteor Crater, stayed at the La Pasada Hotel in Winslow....really cool spot, Sedona, Williams, Seligman, Grand Canyon South, Monument Valley, the Forest Gump Road(dozens of people there taking pics on the yellow line like Forrest did) Page with the Horseshoe Bend and Slot Canyon tours, Bryce N.P., Kodachrome Basin, Capital Reef N.P., Goblin Valley S.P., Moab, Canyonlands, Arches, and Dead Horse S.P., The old steam engine....Cumbes- Toltec Railroad was really cool...7 hour ride from Charma to Antonita and bus back, then White Sands N.P., and back to Texas via the El Capitan Hotel(really nice spot)….I remember when you guys were driving your 10000 miles.... well we did 4138 in 2 weeks!!!! All the best to you and Family
Wow, that sounds like an incredible trip! You saw SO much in just two weeks. That's really amazing! We're jealous!
That viewing platform for Old Faithful was in construction when I was there last time in june 2018. Good to see they have a closer spot now.
Oh wow, I didn't realize that platform was so new. How much farther back did you have to stand to watch Old Faithful before the platform was constructed?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet You had to stand on the asphalt walkway going from the old faithful inn to the visitors center. They had a long log fence by the trees that you could lean against or sit on while waiting.
The other option was the old faithful inn viewing deck, its up higher but a bit further away, anyone can go up there and enjoy the view, you didn't have to be a guest there or anything to be there which is nice. I like that one for colder weather months more since you can duck into the inn for warmth if needed fairly quickly.
Thank you very much. Really helpful
Glad we could help! :)
Definitely need to visit here someday. The sights and views look amazing!
We hope you can make it. It's even more amazing in person! -Brian
Amazing vlog and most adorable family! Going next week, Tom's Trail is closed :( But so many other sites to see!!
Thank you so much! You're so kind. :) How was your trip, Daphne? What were your favorite parts?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet It was an absolute dream, I'm sad to be back already! The Petrified Trees!! and dragon's breath and the mud volcano!!
Great video! Every year someone decides that prismatic springs is suitable for a dip, and end up getting instantly boiled.
It may look inviting, but stay out!!
Beautiful Vlog!! Loved to go to
Yellowstone when I lived in Montana years ago!!
When we drove through Montana on our road trip we decided to go to Glacier National Park instead of Yellowstone. Glacier has some epic views but Yellowstone is a whole new world! Did you visit both when you lived there? -Brian
If you continued on the loop trail past artists point, there is a mini mud Volcano section that is not labeled and does not have boardwalks. There is about 8 mud volcanos that you can get right next to (but obviously don’t) it is near sour lake
Great tip! We'll check it out next time we're in Yellowstone. Thanks!
Looks like an amazing place thanks for sharing.
We've been to a lot of National Parks and this one was so unique. We really loved it. Thanks for watching! -Brian
Hi Brian, absolutely loved this vlog, one of your best. 10/10.... Looks like you all had such fun. Can't wait to see next video. Cheers mate....
Wow, thank you so much, Martin! So happy you liked it. We had such a good time at Yellowstone and I'm glad that seemed to come across in the video. :) Take care! -Brian
Great video! We loved Yellowstone! It was our first National Park video on our BIG year-long adventure! #changingtheview
Looks like quite the trip. So glad you have the opportunity to share such amazing places with your family. -Brian
So cool 🥰
I know, right?! Such an amazing place to visit.
Going in two weeks...I know, crowds:) Thanks for the informative and beautifully filmed video! I subscribed.
I hope you can find parking and that you have a great experience. Have fun and thank you for the support!! -Brian
going there in 3 weeks
@@jsnantic Cool! I'll post a short comment when I get back home.
Yeah and let us know how expensive was too
@@lebiismaelbonilla4565 looks like it's going to be comparable to visiting NYC. The big variables are lodgings and extras.
Thank you! Excellent video!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. -Brian
I'm going in two weeks, awesome video!
Have fun! What are you most excited to see?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet I'm excited for artist's point and uncle tom's point. Just any beautiful scenery really, & also to see animals!
This is a really comprehensive video! Thanks for this! Planning our trip to Yellowstone this August from San Diego!
Thank you so much. Have fun! Yellowstone is amazing! -Brian
Beautiful!! Do you recommend guided tour?
It really depends on the experience you want to have. A guided tour is a lot more informative so if you want to focus on learning about Yellowstone and the different geological features, definitely take a guided tour. But if you want to just enjoy being in nature and taking your time wandering through the different areas, definitely do not take a tour.
Going early June! Hoping that’s a great time to visit
that's a great time. lots of baby animals.
Yeah, early June would be a great time to visit. It's before a lot of schools get out, so you should beat the highest tourist activity. And the weather should be amazing. Have fun! -Brian
Ah, yes, do check out Lamar Valley to see all the baby animals. That would be so fun!
Wow, Yellowstone we are coming to see your beauty next month. Beautiful place. Thanks for sharing such an excellent video
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great experience in Yellowstone. We sure loved it! -Brian
Waw this is amazing videos first time I come in your chanl. . Very happy to see this place I'm from Saudi Arabia Pakistani
Thank you so much for watching! You live in amazing places!
WOW! Excellent vid! Thanks for taking us along. Felt like I was there with you. New sub here. Can't wait to check out your other vids. :)
Thanks so much for the support, Trish! We've got lots of fun adventures to share with you coming up. :) -Brian
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Planning on going Thanksgiving week. Can I ask what month you guys were there?
We were there at the end of October. Check the roads... They may be closed to cars in November. Snowmobiles only.
Ok thanks!
Great video! What time of year we’re you there? We’re going May 5th through the 11th so planning for pretty cold weather. And we’re Florida folk! 😂
We visited at the end of October, so you won't be quite as cold as us. :) My brother lives in Florida and he sent me pictures of frost on his lawn, so Yellowstone might be nice compared to that. Have fun!!
I love that sign of the kid jumping onto the hot rock. That translates to every language lol.
Totally. I love universal signs like that.
Hi, brilliant vlog, what time of year did you visit??
We went at the end of October. It's a risky time to go because if it snows, they close roads so you might not be able to access things. My friend went a week _before_ we went and it snowed the whole weekend and the only thing she could visit was Old Faithful. But if you get lucky, like we did, the place is empty and it's awesome. -Brian
Wonderful! You picked May to go??Lots of baby animals?? Was Old faithful Inn open? If not you got to go back !! 😂 I love the smell of Yellowstone! Crazy 😜 me 😂
We were actually there in October, but it took me a while to edit and upload the video. I don't believe the Old Faithful Inn was open. Should we stay there in the future?
Yes! It’s so incredible!! If you don’t stay there at least have dinner! Not for the food so much but the experience. It’s one of a kind
That's a nice little video you've got there. Well done. Thanks for the safety messages at 4:14, 5:50 and 7:08. A couple of other notes ... (1:30) please don't run on the boardwalks ... (3:47) not all geysers are predictable, just six (five in the Upper Geyser Basin plus Great Fountain Geyser) ... that's Lower Falls (@ 8:53), not "South Falls." It is clear why some people think working in YNP is the best job in the world. Nice video. Be safe, be well.
Thanks for the added tips and clarifications. Sorry for running on the boardwalk, I can definitely see how that could be dangerous. Do you work at the park?
@@PerfectLittlePlanet I took the summer of 2020 off due to the pandemic. Please understand that my comments are just my own and I don't speak for any possible employer.
@@billzager4874 for sure. We appreciate any comments that help us learn. We know hundreds of thousands of people watch these videos, so it's important to us to be good examples. So we really appreciate any time somebody calls us out on how we can do better. Thank you!
Wow this is a very informative video and will help a lot of viewers who are planning to visit the park with kids or baby =) You guys are awesome! I have a question though, with the 2 days exploring the park where did you guys stay/hotel? After each day did you just go back the same hotel? Thank you this will help a lot. Thanks!
Thank you so much. We stayed at a hotel in West Yellowstone. We tried to plan our visit so at the end of each day we'd be on the west side of the park so it wouldn't be too far to get back to the hotel. -Brian
Thanks you two for the video loved it i love nature can you say beatufil
You're welcome, Mary. Yeah, Yellowstone is one of the most beautiful and unique places we've ever seen. Can't wait to go back and explore more. -Brian
Cool video, Which month of which year was this?
Thanks! We were there at the end of October, the weekend before they close a lot of the roads to car traffic because of the snow.
beautiful vid
Thank you!
U a so cool nice job
Thank you! :)
I use this video for my students when we learn about the wolves of Yellowstone. So many good tidbits that the official videos just don't cover
Thanks for telling us! So glad you and your students find the information useful. :)
@@PerfectLittlePlanet The kids always mention how cute your family is :)
@@caroleondrovic2999 Your kids are so sweet! Thank you. :)
Awesome vlog! What time of year did you visit?
We were there at the end of October. It was cold, but empty and nice. -Brian
I love this so much. You guys explained everything almost perfectly. My only question is about time. We're planning 2 full days at Yellowstone at the end of Sept. I'm guessing it's enough time to do all of this correct?
...to do everything we did, yes. We filmed this over two days, so you can definitely do the same. However, if you want to visit Lamar Valley or spend more time exploring a particular area, you might want to stay a third day.
@@PerfectLittlePlanet Awesome. Thanks for responding so quickly.
Great vlog! My small family is going to Yellowstone in 2 weeks! Any suggestions on traveling with a baby? We have a one year old! 💕
Fun! Here are a few tips: bring a lot of snacks and toys for the car. Learn how to (if you don't know already) change diapers in your car - we use the passenger seat with a travel changing pad. Use a good baby carrier backpack like we have, one that's comfortable for you and the baby. The more comfortable the better, because the swaying while you walk will help the baby fall asleep when you explore. Normally when we travel, we try to plan around Kai's nap, but Yellowstone is so big that it's just not possible. Assume your baby is not going to nap and it's going to be awful. Just be ready for a fussy, whiny baby. That way, if they do nap, it's a pleasant surprise. We found that Kai will fall asleep eventually if he really needs it. Hope you have a great trip!
watch in May 2022. Thank you!
Woot! Yellowstone is still amazing after all these years!
Long distance between some sights. But it's definitely worth the drive.
Totally agree. Just get some good tunes or podcasts to keep you entertained while you take in the views along the way. :) -Brian
i like how you reply to every comment instead of just liking the comment
Thanks. Sometimes it takes us a few days to reply, but we really enjoy interacting with everyone in the comments. It makes it feel more like a community. :) Thanks for commenting! -Brian
I'm planning a trip here next August so your video was extremely helpful! I have a question, I'm bringing my little pup with me and wondered if you saw any pets on the boardwalks where you took some video, I'm wondering if he can go on the walks with me. Thanks!
We did not see any pets on the boardwalks. Sadly, National Parks are not very pet friendly. Yellowstone is so treacherous with all the hot springs and boiling mud that I'd be scared to bring a pet in there anyways. Check out this blog post I found for lots of helpful info about dogs in Yellowstone: blog.gopetfriendly.com/achieving-balance-with-pets-in-yellowstone/
Omgoodness since I saw your picture I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it...
please where in this world would a woman like you come from?
I wonder when was it? Looks very quiet. Nice
We went the last weekend in October, just before the roads closed to cars for the winter. We got lucky with the weather - it was cold but it didn't snow. It's risky to go that late in the season. Yes, the place is practically empty, but the weather could turn bad and roads can close at any moment. My friend went the week before this and half the park was inaccessible due to snow. Just watch the weather closely before you go. -Brian
Going the 1st of June with 11 yr son, cannot wait!@!@!
You two are going to love it! Hope you have a great time. -Brian
Cute baby!
Thank you! :)
Definitely enjoyed your video, but little guy had me rolling {laughing hard} everytime he laughed. what a happy boy. I thank you for posting. since ive never been ,i can die tomorrow and say i did, { I suppose in heaven, lol}
Yes, we got really lucky with such a happy boy. And I hope you can visit Yellowstone in real life because it's even more amazing in person. Thanks for watching! -Brian
what time of year were you there? We are thinking about mid to late June. Wondering if that will be a good time.
We were there at the very end of the season, in late October. June is a crowded time to visit, but there are lots of animals out so that will be really nice. The earlier in June, the better, since the weather will be a bit nicer and kids won't be out of school yet so there'll be fewer visitors. -Brian
My wife and I are thinking about mid June next year? Any idea how the crowds will be?
btw your family is wonderfuly adorable!
We had some friends go mid-June this year and they had a great experience. It was definitely a lot more crowded than in this video, but it wasn't as bad as July 4th or other weekends in July. Just plan on going to the most popular sites you want to see earlier in the day. -Brian
lovely smile
Thank you. :)
FYI ... Its still a volcano, your just able to walk on it . Old Faithful isn't as predictable as her has been in the past . Sometimes she goes off on time and sometimes she doesnt . That info came from a couple Park Rangers we have talked to .
You're right - I misspoke. Yellowstone is definitely still a volcano, and with the magma not too far below the surface, it's not as dormant as so many other extinct volcanos we've hiked before. Thanks for the comment! -Brian
Thanks for the great video! We just left Yellowstone today after spending two days there. Very beautiful but crowded this time of the year. BTW, what kind of camera are you guys using for your vlogs. Are you on a gimbal or stabilizer? It captured some awesome footage!!
We use a Canon G7X Mark II. It's a great camera with built-in stabilization. I add a little more smoothing in Final Cut Pro when I edit the video. I don't use a gimbal or any additional stabilizer. Thanks for the compliment! -Brian
How long it takes or days to see all this? Those areas look so beautiful
You can see everything in this video in just two days. We started a little late, so you can actually see even more than this in just two days. -Brian
Thanks!! And how expensive was 😂😂😂 just to start saving some money I love those natural areas
There's a active supervolcano under that park
I know! It's so cool. It's the reason all the hot pools and geysers exist! -Brian
That true
And with that volcano it can be the end of the world
@@Kamila1103k luckily Yellowstone National Park has been around for almost 150 years and still going strong lol
