Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Arno and if you haven’t seen it in person, I hope one day you can. It is an amazing place.
Great Video,Great Job, thank you ❤ Greetings from Germany 🤠
Very kind words Hubert. Thank you. If I ever fall into money, I would LOVE to visit your neck of the woods! Yellowstone is on the edge of my comfort zone as it is quite far from where I live, and a having a captive audience, it’s a challenge keeping costs down. It might just be cheaper to vacation Eur way! 🤣 See what I did there? Very witty for an old redneck from Oklahoma! Thanks for taking the time to pat me on the back sir. I honestly appreciate it. 🫎 Anderson
Hey Moose - You probably aren’t aware of this, but at exactly 46:30 into your video, you show a rather large boulder in the Firehole River with two trees growing on it. Every July, someone swims out there and decorates the taller of those two trees for Christmas, as all of the employees of the park celebrate “Christmas in July” every year.
I was not! We saw them decorate Old Faithful Inn this last trip in 2023. It was really pretty. It’s so crazy to see a tree rooted in a boulder. Glad I didn’t miss it. That whole stretch of the Firehole is just beautiful. I can’t wait to return. My wife wants to do September next time and catch the Aspens turning. Even a winter trip in the snow would make me happy! 😉
Wonderful video!
Thanks so much Lisa. I hope that it shows people a typical day in Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Parks, and helps them decide what they want to see or skip, based on the time they have. Most people can’t take 2 weeks off work. These were very long days in August, so we had lots of daylight to do it. By watching the other Yellowstone movie on my channel, it shows how much stuff we had to skip in the first trip…and we still did not get it all in. 😂 Honestly, you could spend a day, sitting by a brook, having a picnic and staring at landscape & nature, and not feel like it is wasted time. Honestly my favorite place, with an endless variety of things to see and do. Beyond words! 🥰
2:49:28 - SADDEST SCENES … “MASKS.”
Yeah they were not good times. 🙁 What a mess!
I have watched both of your Yellowstone & the Tetons movies over the last two days. Absolutely amazing quality, narration and information. Can’t wait for my turn to visit in September. Thank you Moose.
Thanks Christie and thank you for no crying about the music! 🤣 So since you watched the second one, you have gathered that my wife loves to prowl around and shop. In September, they start to run out of stock on tourist stuff like tshirts and such. The first trip I ever made, was without her. I went in September and although the weather starts to get unpredictable, like all the rain this August could be remotely predictable, September is a great month! We have already discussed why our next trip will be in September. She is willing to forgo a few tshirts, and see the Aspens turn, the risk of smoke decrease, and clear blue skies. It becomes easier to see Moose, Bears & Elk, as they are more active in the cool fall weather. I love September, and so will you! 🫎
I spent four summers working in Yellowstone! 1982, 1983, 1985, 1986. Old Faithful Lodge, Lake Hotel and Canyon Village. Fabulous experiences. I encourage everyone to spend an entire summer in the park. You'll meet great friends from allover our country as well as the world. JUST DO IT!! (Patty)
I am seriously thinking about it for a little retirement gig. Then run from the blizzard at the end of season! 🤣 It is honestly, a place like no other. Thanks for watching Patty! 🫎 Anderson
What a phenomenal movie. Great job Moose! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful journey with us.
Thanks Candid. It was a work of love for Yellowstone & Grand Teton National parks. I can’t get enough. 🥰
I live close to Yellowstone. Though I've been there several times, I have yet to see everything and never will. Thanks for letting me have the experience through your eyes and lense.
Hi Sonja and it would be soooo nice to live close to a place this fantastic. Obviously my movies are rather lengthy! 🤣 So far I have 2 Yellowstone/Teton movies on my channel, and there is still stuff I have not shown, so I completely agree with you. I have a few other places I have to squeeze in, but there will be a return trip to this area, with new adventures and experiences. No trip to here is ever the same. 😉
I just spent the last year planning our summer vacation and these two gems are on the list. Of course our trip is much longer
Very smart planning. I just don’t see how you can wing it and get as much out of it. Drive safe, and I’ll be eating my heart out…literally!
16 hours? Wow., 34 for us. Stayed in Gardiner near the North entrance, which is always open 24/7. 6 days for us, wonderful experience. Also, went to Little Big Horn, which is a must see. Did you actually see any bears?
Hey FA! Thanks for watching! We actually live more than 16 hours away, that was just the first day. 😆 16 is about my limit for a non stop drive. I still think it is practically necessary, to maximize my time in a place like Yellowstone & Grand Teton. We have seen bears. Our best area seems to be at Oxbow Bend area in the Tetons. Purely luck in August. May & June would be best, but the weather is not as cooperative. I say that, as August is the least rainy season, and in my second Yellowstone film, it rained almost 1/3 of the days we were there. 😏 We would get out for about 4 hours, then the rain would move in. We stuck to driving and looking for wildlife, gift shops, and visitor centers, to stay dry. We are going in September next time, to see the fall foliage. First time I went in the 90s, it was September and it was the best, but some of the places are shutting down and I wanted my wife to have an unrestrained first experience, so August it was.
Back to bears and wildlife. Early months are best, and I would not waste precious time, staking out a spot. We have done this but it is actually not as productive. In Lamar Valley, you can’t miss on Bison, although you can’t miss them anywhere else either. Wolves, bear, and most anything else, will be very far away as it is a wide valley. I recommend just keeping on track going to each stop, and keep yours eyes peeled. Any traffic jam is a great indicator as well. Bear are everywhere and anywhere. Even Moose are in Yellowstone, but I have had much better luck around the Gros Ventre & Snake River areas in Jackson Hole. I hear, they even go shopping in Jackson! 🤣
So glad you got to go, and I have no doubt it was an amazing trip! I can’t imagine a bad one…unless you find a bear at the wrong time, or pet the fluffy cows!!!🤣😂🤣😂 🫎 Anderson
this is crazy. we live in collinsville and our family vacation this year is pikes peak,4 days in yellowstone then mt rushmore . enjoyed and got ideas for our trip. thanks.
It’s a smaller world than one can imagine. Let me know if you have any questions and I’d be more than glad to help neighbor. Boomer! 🤣 And for those outsiders reading this, I just fired a shot across the bough. James and crew handed our asses to us for a final goodbye and good riddance! I know, cause my son is a Poke!
What a wonderful video, You did a great job filming, It was a pleasure to watch it and it brought back a lot of memories.😊❤ 2:53:14
Thank you Aztec. I’m glad you liked it, and even more happy to stir those memories. In the end, it’s all that really matters. The ones we make, the ones we keep, and the ones we give. 😊
@@MooseAndersonProductions Is quite true,, quite true indeed.🙂
Beautiful
It’s not a bad place to be! 😉
This was spectacular❤. I have been there in 1988 and to travel there again through your eyes was stunning!!! Thank you😊😊😊. I agree it is a unique breathtaking place!
Wow! 88! You were lucky not to get caught up in all the fire. So terrible. The place still has not recovered. 😢 Thanks for watching, and a pat on the back…I take it on the chin occasionally. 😂 I prefer the pats. 😁
Yes we were able to see it before the fires hit so may have been 86 or 87. Brain is getting fuzzy😆anyhow yes, there is no place like it!!! Filming was fabulous!!!
@@susanjenkins6628 yeah I’m not enjoying fuzzy. It’s a weird stage in my life. It’s good you saw it then. It is crazy how long it takes a forest to recover from a fire. The Grizzlies like the burn areas, so as with life, when one door closes, another opens. I just can’t remember if I closed the door, or left it open! 😂
My husband, who,s father worked for the parks road department in the summer, lived in Yellowstone as a boy during those months. The whole family lived in a camp trailer. Late 50,s. Boy can he tell you some stories about tourists and wildlife. Crazy!!!! I told him after we visited the park that I wanted to put up a cabin and live near the Madison river. He promptly laughed and said " you won,t like it in the winter when it is 60 below and there is 20 feet of snow." Burst my bubble I tell you😆
@@susanjenkins6628 honestly, I didn’t show any of the Madison River in my video, but we love it and go every time. Not because of West Yellowstone, but because it is such a beautiful river & valley. I think we could deal with the 8 month winter! 😂
Excellent video!
Thanks tomgle! I do plan to divide it up into some more specific, shorter ones. 🤣 3 hours can be a bit much! Some scenes are a bit much. I’m just hoping if people get a little impatient, they just fast forward a little bit, like I do. I got tired of trying to plan a trip to these national parks, using 10 minute snips. I hope others might be able to see how much ground can realistically be covered in a day, and use it to plan their own special trip. 😊
Did you have a drone following your truck? How did you get this video, it's really great!
Not sure how you can call the Great Plains ugly though...
@@allisonberner5042 🤣 Believe me, this is not the first hit I’ve taken over the Great Plains comment! Technically I live in them. I just prefer mountains & trees. I’m Moose Anderson. 😂 I did have my drone follow me for the opening scene. I’m going to try to use it more as I’m still a rookie, but not bad for 63! I’m still evolving and trying to improve. Thanks for the compliments on my movie. As for those Great Plains, I’ll take our BBQ over any others. Not a fan of Memphis or Carolina style. Now for the punches I’m going to get from Tennessee & Carolina. I’m partial to Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas BBQ. We all have our pluses & minuses, but I’ll trade my BBQ for the Tetons. 😁 🫎 Anderson
Thank you so much!!! It’s beautifully done ✅ fantastic job!!!
Thank you Candy. I’d rather you go in person, but I hoped this would fill the gap for those that couldn’t. I had never considered Yellowstone but my mom offered me a free trip to go with her & my stepdad when I was struggling as a young man of about 33. I couldn’t hardly afford an apartment but I couldn’t ask for more as I knew it could be a whole lot worse. I just had faith and worked hard and now things are good. Still no Mercedes or mansion, but not bad for a redneck in Oklahoma! 🤣 Well let me tell you, Yellowstone was amazing and really touched me.
Funny story, I skipped the canyon and falls on that trip, because I really didn’t know about Yellowstone. Never even peeked inside of a book or seen any pictures. I had already seen countless waterfalls and canyons in the Tetons and Yellowstone, so I figured I didn’t need to see another one! I had no clue it was actually so massive, and the literal namesake for Yellowstone National Park.
I honored my mom in the credits, I owed it to her. It crushed me that she was so far gone from dementia, she saw a few minutes of the movie, but I’m not sure she understood that I was the one that made it, nor if she even knew who I was. I can barely talk about it now. So I will stop! It was a labor of love for both Yellowstone, as well as for the memory of a mother, who Blessed me with a trip to Yellowstone, and being the best mom I could have ever asked for. Happy belated Mother’s Day to everyone, as well as you, even if your only child, is that beautiful, white fur baby in your icon! 🥰 Moose Anderson
Great impressive footage capturing the beautiful scenery as the awesome gift of the mother nature, thanks for sharing and bringing us to this wonderful relaxing place and stay safe always.
Thank you Aliwann. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’d like to do it without a camera plastered to my face sometime. 😉 You stay safe as well. 🫎
At 21:50 GRAND GYSER was going off in the background.
🤣 I have ALWAYS wondered about that! It was so beautiful to see it back there, along with Old Faithful in the foreground! Thank you very much as I honestly love that clip and never knew. I guess you’ve been once or twice? 😂 It’s hard not to return. I have been 3 times, and it won’t be my last. My wife does not like to revisit places and she has been here twice now, and wants to go back. This area really sinks her hooks into you! It’s always different and full of surprises. 🥰
@@MooseAndersonProductionsI have been there twice,in 2013 and 4 days around the Memorial Day weekend in 2021.I live in Minnesota so when i have gone there have taken all 3 roads from the east(which are the best if you ask me)and just wondering if you now of Sylvan Lake there?
I have heard of it but never been. The furthest out I have been on that road is to Pelican Valley for bear watching. No bears. ☹ I did google it before responding to you at it’s beautiful. I love the setting! Gotta cover this stretch of road on our next trip. I do hear it’s a great road for bear spotting. 😁@@stevemattson4863
The music is so loud, it has ruined the video for me. Best viewed muted! The secenery can't compete with the overwhelming music. Having to switch back and forth to hear the narrator is annoying.
Most people don’t have this issue, but I have heard from 1 other person that did. It comes through great on my sound system?
@@MooseAndersonProductions I also have my Sonos bar set to emphasize voice.
@@destravlr that is not a crappy sound system and I honestly am sorry it plays so crappy but!!! I honestly listen to the smallest voice. 😊 I plan on dropping the music level down further on the next video. I also plan on using a different “royalty free music source.” I will also reduce wind noise and have purchased a tripod to stabilize things a bit. Better is coming, and my apologies for any disappointments. Sincerely! 🫎 Anderson
I actually like the music and can’t wait to visit next Sunday for 4 days! Nice video, thank you
@@tomconley2458 Thanks Tom! I honestly have not heard the too loud issue but a couple of times. Sound systems do vary. Even between TVs with no sound systems. I will try to drop it down just a touch and see if it helps. My first release of this got 425,000 views, but it was not royalty free music so no $$$ for the Moose! I re-released it with this new royalty free music but I have to tell you…finding 3 hours of palatable music is a heck of a challenge! 🤣😂🤣😂
I made the same trip 20 years ago. You've brought these great memories back. Thank you for sharing such a great video. You made my day. All the best from Poland 🇵🇱
Come back!!! 😊 There are many beautiful places in your neck of the woods too. 😁 Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. 🫎
You sound like Peter Coyote
Thanks Jeff. I really appreciate that. I really hate how I sound, and I have many viewers asking me to narrate more. I am guessing because both 1, they are interested in learning about things, and 2, they hate listening to the royalty free music. 😂 Hearing things like I sound like a well known narrator, encourages me as I do listen to you guys. I will narrate more, I bought a tripod thanks to my friend Don, I’m looking for a better music source and to use less, I take all the viewers comments to heart, and try to improve these videos as I set myself up to transition into my retirement career as I am 63. Noe I just gotta figure out how to live to 100! Thanks for watching Jeff, and know there will be a little bit of you, in the movies that follow!
Sorry to hear you never made it up to the widow’s walk at OFI. You really missed out on that one! ☹
Thanks Super and yes, I was massively bummed out. Covid really put a damper on the whole thing. In my second movie from our last trip, I accomplished it but barely. I thought it was an unknown thing so I wanted to book it till a month before we went. They only had 1 slot, on 1 day left. And that day hailed & rained like you wouldn’t believe! I filmed it and because of my love of it, it’s rather lengthy, and my dad likes to give me crap saying I got lost up in the rafters for a half hour! 😂 Check it out on my channel. It’s got some stuff in it we didn’t get to do on the previous trip, like the rafters! Got the Beartooth Highway in it as well.
@@MooseAndersonProductions I will check it out - thanks! I am in Gardiner (north entrance to Yellowstone) by the way. 😉
@@Super_Chief 😂🤣😂🤣 You lucky dog! Just rub salt into my wounds!
@@MooseAndersonProductions Hey Moose, don’t get too jealous. Our winters here can be brutal! I just watched the other video. Glad you finally made it to the top! I used to work at OFI, so I could go up there almost anytime - just had to get permission from the bell desk.
Sometime, I would like to see you use a tripod in the future to eliminate the sway/shake that you notice in some of your zoom shots.
You would be surprised how compact they are making tripods these days. They are not much bigger than that gimbal you are using now. I used a tripod the entire time I lived in Alaska and loved it! 🎥
I usually watch these Yellowstone videos and wind up correcting the person who uploaded them about the misinformation they contain. I noticed your video contained 100% current and correct information. So, it was very refreshing to see an honest/open video out there that is giving people correct information!😁
@@Super_Chief 😂 I kid you not! I just hit the order button on a couple of light weight ones…collapsible. I have a big one, but it’s not convenient to jump out of the truck with, or lug around. Figured I will start stepping up my game and do better. I hate the sway as well and even see it in the wide angle shots as well. I’m a rookie, but the Moose is on the lose! 🫎 😊 Thank you soooo much on the advice. I’m working on a way to reduce wind noise, so I can play less music to cover it up. The royalty free stuff, that I even pay for, is not a big hit with many. Some have asked me to talk more, so more talk, and less music, and no swaying to the music!!!🤣 You are so lucky Super. I hope these compact tripods are stable enough. I think they will be. Otherwise I’ll just unfurl the bigger one, and hope people don’t trip over it. These collapsible ones have a much smaller footprint. I’m not opposed to suggestions. I may even break out my manfroto and see if it would be compact enough. Let me know of any recommendations you think would be a better solution, but with stabilization built into the camera, I’m really hoping they work. I just need a little extra…story of life!
What camera do you use for the videos?
Hi Be Nice. Mostly a Sony ax53. It has a great zoom and image stabilization. Very compact handheld camcorder. On the truck & hiking, it’s a GoPro. Recently bought a tripod so it should help holding the camera even more steady, especially on zoomed in shots, but what you are seeing is with no tripod. That Sony is so easy to just jump out, and start filming. You will love it. I never have to change the battery in a long day, even though I carry a spare. I use a 256mb memory card, film in 4K, and I’ve never had to use more than 1 in a day. 😉 🫎
@@MooseAndersonProductions thank you. Beautiful footage. Been going to Yellowstone since 84 and haven’t been recently. Will a go pro have a good zoom like the Sony?
@@BeNice524 GoPro has no zoom, but they do have image stabilization and can even go underwater…very rugged. The Sony is more like a camera, but much less expensive. Many videos on RUclips are taken with cellphones, but I never went down that road. I figure each tool is designed for a purpose and each will excel in its intended design, but cellphones do a wonderful job, just not much zoom. So from no zoom to big zoom…GoPro
We are heading out to Yellowstone and Tetons in 2 months and this was absolutely amazing to watch!!! What month was it when you were filming this? The park and many trails seem surprisingly void of crowds…
Hi Liene! It was late August. Last year, we went the same month. It is known as the driest month so we don’t have to worry about getting rained out a day. RIGHT! It probably rained for half the day on 5 of our days. ☹ Good old Yellowstone weather…never know what you will get. The park is so big, that once you are in, crowds tend to spread out. Sometimes, you have to be a parking lot vulture, and just circle around a bit. You might lose 20 minutes trying to find parking, but it’s worth it. It’s just luck of the draw. That same parking lot might take the next car 5 minutes. 😂 Don’t fret the crowds too much. June is perfect for babies & flowers. July starts to dry out and days are longer. Every month has its pluses & minuses. You are going to LOVE it! 🥰 🫎 Anderson
@@MooseAndersonProductions Thank you! We'll have some serious vultur-ing issues with parking because we're going in an RV (and no car). 😂 Good luck to us! The weather - that's a whole other issue that's out of anyone's control. We went to Alaska for 2 weeks in June, 2 years ago, and it didn't rain a single day and we had 80 degrees!!! Come next month - it didn't stop raining for the whole month so I heard! It's just luck. Hopefully Yellowstone will be kind to us. Thank you for your amazing video and all the work you put into it!
@@lienepowell8308 🤣😂🤣😂 More like a condor! Lots of fantastic places for camping in an RV. Safe travels, and enjoy. 😊
Super avventura!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🔝🔝💯❗🙋❗
Thanks for watching Vittor! Glad you enjoyed and I hope you get to go if you have never done so? 🫎
Magnificent❤
Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. It was beginners luck. I have been listening to all suggestions from all you folks. Next up is Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I’ll try to have the video posted by December or January. I hope to do it justice, and make all you viewers pleased. Thanks for your compliment, sincerely. It means more to me than you know. 🥰 🫎 Anderson.
@@MooseAndersonProductions oh fantastic out neck of the woods!! It is beautiful! You will do it justice!!
Our neck of the woods
@@susanjenkins6628 It has been difficult planning as there is so much to see & do. I’m not sure how it can be done in just a week. We are planning on 2. I guess if you are close, you can just go every weekend! From Oklahoma, I’m gonna make it worth my while! 😉
@@MooseAndersonProductions oh absolutely!! We are very close so I understand the logistics of well planning for a trip this big! I wanted to tell you how very much my husband enjoyed your Yellowstone videos. He lived in the park during summer while growing up. His father worked for the road department in the park. He has many stories about his time there. He is dying of cancer and will never get back there again so I wanted you to know how very very much seeing it all again through your beautiful photography and narritive meant to both of us!!! We or me whomever is still here look forward to more videos and do not be discouraged!!!!
