  • This is a hike in the northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. On this hike I saw a lot of wildlife as usual. This is a great day hike for anyone that wants to see beautiful country along with lots of wildlife including bear. This hike was 9.5 miles and 2150 vertical feet. Part of the last half of the hike is off trail to go in areas that the grizzly bears will be hanging out during mid day. But remember that you can also see them on the trail during early morning. The grizzly bear in this video was videoed from the top of the mountain; the bear was down in the green field below. You can expect to see people and horses on the first half of the trail during mid day.

    Thanks for sharing your passion and talent. I LOVE all of your videos I've seen so far. I love the outdoors. Your videos are educational, as you've represented them. But they also therapeutic. I'm able to view the things I love and love to do vicariously through your videos. I hope after me full-time job commitment is done (in not too many years) that I'll be able to more of first-hand viewing in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Not to say I don't get out some, because I try to live my passions along the way and not just live in the future. Thanks again!

    • @waltdurling9487
      @waltdurling9487 4 года назад

      No, not many people have grizzly confrontations, though that is a popular misconception. Our man Stan knows the country well. In all of his videos he's only come close to bears a handful of times and never had a confrontation, and most of them with the bear departing even before Stan arrives. That is the norm. I also hike alone but have my head on a swivel, don't walk silently, and carry 2 bears sprays. The whole idea is to minimize surprising a bear, or any other large mammal.

    Another beautifully edited video, Stan. Do you think that the wildlife, especially the grizzly, can tell that you’re a human that they don’t need to be concerned about? I would think that they’re aware of your presence , yet they don’t need to be too concerned. What are your thoughts as you’re hiking in their territory?

    I was a park ranger naturalist in Yellowstone1970-71, I’m surprised with all the hiking in Yellowstone you’ve done , that you’ve not been surprised by an attack. I applaud your courage/precaution but still it seems a law of averages that it will happen. I hope not, since I like have enjoyed the back country as you do. Thanks

    • @StanMills
      @StanMills  4 года назад +5

      B C, don,t you and other people drive cars every day. With your “law of averages” theory it’s like you are saying to yourself “sooner or later I will be killed in an auto accident because the law of averages are against me”. Sorry, I don’t buy into that kind of wisdom. I don’t think God created his beautiful and inviting world and then say “oh by the way, don’t go out there because I put grizzly bears out there”. God can give the wisdom that you need to be at peace with his creation and the wild animals will be at peace with you. Listen to God and not the so called experts. I am not trying to tell you how to think, I am just suggesting there may be a different way to think about things. But that thinking can only come from God. With all the years of experience that you have and with wisdom that God can give you, you can be totally free out there in His wonderful creation. There is no “law of averages”. Thank you for all of your comments.

      @@StanMills Stan, God helps those who help themselves and He will not do your job for you! Use your head and do the best you can. That is all any of us can do! A man in church is not safer than a man in a rowdy bar. There are bad people everywhere even in the house of God. , as we have seen lately. If you cross an angry bear mama with cubs 100 prayers won't do you any good. The last thing you hear will be God saying:" Dang Dan! You knew this mama could be there; there are bear-signs out here! What are you dong on that mountain alone?"

    @marct9587 4 года назад

    It seems there are two Teepee Creeks in the area. One is just west of the park boundary in Montana and it runs down to US 191 just north of where US 287 branches off. And there is also a Teepee Creek and trailhead northwest of the park, which enters the Gallatin River right at US 191 near a place called Middle Basin. I guess you were in that Teepee Creek that is farther north, but that creek does not seem to enter the park, so I'm confused.

    • @StanMills
      @StanMills  4 года назад +1

      You are correct. This is Teepee creek on the northwest corner of the park. If you hike to the ridge like I showed you then you can follow that trail to the park boundary like I showed. You can stay on that trail and it will put you onto the Sky Rim trail.

      @StanMills  4 года назад +1

      Scott, I did look at the time when the grizzly went into the trees and stayed, it was 10 AM. The second bear, I think it was a black bear, was close to the junction that takes you over to Daly, would have been around 11AM so that is one you could have seen.
