So the grizzly bear you saw is known at 399. She is an old female that has lived in the park to close to 2 decades. She, single handed has birth close to 65% of grizzly bears in yellow stone and teton region. I lived 2 miles from where you saw her for 5 years before covid. My heart belongs there
That was not near 399. Bear 399 had and successfully raised 4 cubs over the last 2 years. This spring those cubs were as large as momma bear and were sent out on their own.
Yes awesome 👍 I was not able to see this when I drove Semi 🚛 Truck at US 1992 - 1996 not aloud to drive it in National Parks. Be safe Noraly, take car , from Germany.
Watching her excitement at Teton and Yellowstone national parks was very uplifting for me. My friends and I have motorcycle tent-camped several times there. It would have been fun to have her with us.
I found ITCHY BOOTS when she had the accident that hurt her foot in Season 6. I decided to go back to the beginning of Season 6. I watch this until she reached the Mexico USA border and decided it was mistake not to go back to the beginning. Three weeks ago I watched season 1 and then season 2. I skipped three, four and five so I could finish with her on the USA tour. I have done some serious binge watching and it all has been quite enjoyable. I'm a retired American sailor that has traveled the world and had many adventures but nothing like your travels. Thank you much Noraly.
Your excitement seeing the grizzly bears made my day and I can relate to it with the bison!! Driving around Yellowstone my dream came true seeing a herd of about 20 bison and their babies walk along the road. Some were bigger than our car and yes eyeballed us as they walked past! A true lifetime experience we will never forget! 🤗
Noraly,,,, I'm 62 years old and I've lived here in the US all my life and now I've learned more about the geological aspects of this country since you've entered the US than I think i would've ever known about it. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge of all these interesting features of my country. Really enjoyed learning about the Grand Tetons in your last episode. Stay safe young lady !!
To hear the joy in your voice and seeing your smile talking about Yellostone’s features and all of the park’s animals is just wonderful. Thank you , Noraly, for bringing us all along.
Literally just had to pause the video to make the exact same comment. (Thanks for already having done the job 🙏) Yup, your enthusiasm and 'geekiness' , as you called it Noraly, has made me laugh out loud various times already, so good to see you enjoying yourself so much while sharing it all with us. 🙏💗
Yes, she is very engaging and pleasant and of course she is a geologist by profession. I'm happy to have her for the guide on this Yellowstone Park tour. Thanks Noraly!
So very true. It's nice to see the joy in her voice and the genuine reaction to these natural phenomena. I hope she gets a chance to see things like Crater Lake, the Olympic Peninsula, Pacific Rim nation park, Banff, Jasper, and beyond. The next few weeks and months should be really entertaining.
You make Discovery channel and Nat Geo completely overrated! This is how a documentary should be like. Pure and to the point, no one over and over repeating how dangerous the bear is and how slippery it might be. Love it !!! Dankjewel Noraly wederom!!
Momma Grizzly: "I can't believe we saw Itchy Boots and Alaska!" Big Ol' Bison:: " I almost got an autograph!" SO fun to see Geologist you in Paradise. Thanks for the excellent lesson. Happy trails to you!
I was thinking the same. 🤣 It’s funny the video started late because she was enjoying a conversation with a nice family. I’m sure they were equally thrilled to be speaking with her.
The absolute pure joy in your voice talking about geology and wildlife make watching your channel so joyful and rewarding. With all the chaos in this world you Noraly are a shining star. Thank you.
Does anyone know what month this video was taken ? I doubt August. I lived in Wyoming for 16 years and worked in the northwestern area of the state a couple of years. There is never that much snow on the ground in summer except above 10,000 ft.
I love seeing Yellowstone and the Tetons through the eyes of someone who appreciates their beauty and amazing geology. Your enthusiasm for the pools at Mammoth Hot Springs was great--I think they've always been an under-appreciated asset of the park. Thanks for brining us along!
@@ffarmchicken Funny thing. My wife a kiwi was gob smacked when she showed up with the park and all. I live on the Idaho side of the park so I am kind of numb to the beauty that surrounds me. I am looking at it now through this young ladies eyes and seeing it again for the first time again.
You can't perceive the thousands of miles of pristine mountain ranges in our great country. Most of it available to enjoy. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. In the Olympic Mountains. I choose to live surrounded by lush trees and a flowing river in my back yard. I have thousands of miles of dirt roads, trails, coastline, all to be explored. I'm not sure what you thought we had going on here, we might not have a bunch of ancient architecture layin around all ove the place, but the American Continents got something else. A bunch of land that ain't been messed with. Be well, and have fun.
Doubtful there is anywhere else on the internet where a lady says "he was giving me the side eye", and was referring to a bison! You are winning the internet! I learned more about geology in this one video than I ever did in school. Safe travels!
Just to let you know. People have gotten gored by bison . Because they don't follow the rules of stay back from the business. They want that close up selfie or video.
Loved seeing Yellowstone through a geologists eyes. The drawing was pretty amazing considering Noraly was sitting on top of Alaska with all of her gear on. Noraly, is simply the best! Thank you, Noraly!
You sounded like a little girl attending her first visit to the circus! So happy you are enjoying our wonderful country and all the wonders it holds! Many more to come too! 😘💕

Oh how I love when you get your full geek on! Even though it had to be boring asphalt for riding, the scenery and animals are all worth it. Great video, Noraly !
Itchy Boots your educational lesson about Yellowstone and the volcano paid off. There was a quiz programme on TV, Tipping Point here in the UK and one of the questions was "which US national park in the US is the largest. Straight away I knew it was Yellowstone listening to Itchy Boots educational lesson. Well done Itchy Boots. Yours Respectfully Gregory Bauer
I've crossed the US years ago and I understand your emotions travelling through this incredible landscape. I've been following you (sounds creepy😁) since day 1 of your adventures. You are genuinely a good person Noraly. Thank you for sharing your travels. 👌🤝
This is just beyond enjoyment and entertainment. We get to see Yellowstone, the beautiful wildlife and animals and get educated on the earth and how she works. And I like the way you draw by the way 🙂. Thank you Noraly, thank you so much!
I’m an addicted rockhound-the geologic information is as priceless as your videos. I’m sure I’ll re-watch all your uploads more than a few times. Thanks for all of your hard work NS
I dug up my little 'Golden Book' about ROCKS AND MINERALS, been looking though it again after Noraly's lessons. I don't know much about geology but have always been fascinated by rocks.
@@Britspence381 I have one too! Bought it over 12 years ago. I used to sit in the sand in school on the play ground in Tucson and collect sand rubies. Everyday during recess, I was out with the monkey bars and sand. , Love Rocks!
Your on the fly drawing, use of both cameras to inter-cut, and the preamble on Alaska while riding... you are truly a master of "shooting for continuity". My hat is off to you!
Lovely but What No Grand Canyon tour that would be a great adventure on your bike 🚴 I love ❤️ to see the Grand Canyon by Noraly 🙏🏼God bless and stay safe!😇
@@siry5164I think she was going to see the Grand Canyon before she got hurt but because of time limits she has to get to Alaska before winter starts summer is very short up there
I for one, really appreciated the geology lesson. Especially the drawing. I knew bits and pieces but you helped clarify my understanding of the Yellowstone area.
I .live in Ecuador but am U.S. I've never seen my country look so good, particularly now that so much of it is over developed, so homogenized. Thanks, Noraly. I'm 79 and going blind, because of you I may try to get up there one last time to see what you are showing.
All any US citizen has to do to leave the “homogenous” portions of the country is to take the drive off the Interstate or hike/bike out of the cities. Most of the US is still wild and available. We must preserve it wild and clean in perpetuity. It’s the most important thing we can leave to descendants.
I live an hour from Yellowstone. I have gone dozens of times and never get tired of going. I love having guests so I can take them to see the majesty of this place.
Noraly, my husband and I have been following your adventures for a few years already, and we both love it! Keep safe, and continue sharing the amazing wonders of God's Creation!
I discovered Itchy Boots just recently. I am frenetically trying to catch up on back-episodes! while staying current as well. As an "old" dirt biker I find EVERY episode so very uplifting, joyful and informative. Noraly's off road endurance is at such a high level! Thank you for sharing your travels. What a breath of fresh air!
@@anitakristensen4679 we can tell you've never ridden before. Noraly has enough experience to know what she is doing, after all she has ridden motorcycles around the world. No worries.
@@ahsnap9103 you don't know me , I do ride . And I live just outside of the park. Animals dart out in front of you . Even the experience rider collides with deer , elk , moose , bear , and have had incidents with bison . Experience don't save everyone.
@@anitakristensen4679 yes you're right animal's will jump out in front of you, and depending on how fast you and them are moving and the distance in between determines outcome sometimes. Good to know I'm talking to a fellow rider. I once had a deer jump over the back of my car, when I saw it after i passed a hedge row the deer was running through a field and if was able to react quick enough and brake the deer would have run into the side of me. Been lucky a couple times on my street bike as well, a drunk driver crossing from turn lane to the shoulder inches behind me in the slow lane and an idiot on a scooter did a u turn right as I passed by going about 70 without looking..better lucky than good I guess. Be safe.
I started watching Itchy Boots from season 3 up to present for almost a month now and it's ADDICTIVE & UPLIFTING! Geology 201 Love it! Take care always, beautiful kind Noraly. 😍👍
This area takes your breath away . I have a friend that saw you north of Yellowstone In Montana and she was really fighting the urge to come meet you . She is a big fan , she was just giving you the side eye . I won’t say when it was because those are secrets we fans keep to ourselves and don’t post because we care about keeping you as safe as possible. Love following you Noraly.
It's not a secret...these videos are posted about 10 weeks after they are filmed! Basic detective work can ascertain that from watching the videos and determining time of year, season, major holidays or events taking place in the background, adverts on billboards in the background etc!
@@antonioveritas , I think he was referring to posting all over social media that I saw Noraly on 8/24/2022 in Banff National Park. Oops, did I just say that out loud? ;-) We know that the videos are behind, and we know her destination, but we don't know her route, or planned arrival.
@@antonioveritas That’s right. Major once-in-500 years flooding occurred in Yellowstone from the 12th of June, 2022. Major roads were washed away and the Park was closed for weeks. So Noraly definitely rode through Yellowstone much before June 12.
@@Dave-sw2dm Perhaps we ought to start confusing would be stalkers by giving lots of false sightings! I think I saw Noraly in the fish and chip shop in Whitby last week! There, that should throw them off the scent! 😁
Hi Noraly, the smile and excitement says it all, thanks again for a very informative geology episode, the look on your face when you saw mamma bear and her babies were priceless. You are such an inspiration to all of us and seeing Yellowstone was awesome. Some of us would have never seen the world if it wasn't for you. Keep safe and God Bless. 🙏🙏🏍🏍🇿🇦💪
Thanks Noraly for bringing everything to life. I have never been there. Seeing the wildlife and the geyser from your view was awesome. The Tetons are spectacular. Learning geology from you too! ❤
Noraly, as a newcomer to your channel and after watching this video, I was hooked and watched the 8 videos preceeding this one. Your traveling on Alaska creates the illusion of being in a virtual reality adventure narrated by a vibrant and sharp young lady. Your videography has a dynamic presentation which brings out all of mother nature's glory.
I’m about a year behind watching your videos. I’m only at Yellowstone. I’m completely hooked. The wonder of the knowledge you share about the earth and the mountains is awesome. You are a real pro. I watch about 4 videos a night trying to catch up. Your actually in Liberia while I’m trying to catch up. Your videos are contagious and your enthusiasm brings the wonder of the earth alive to us viewers. Amazing. Thankyou
Maybe one of the best videos ever! I'll watch it several times and I'll bet it holds up over time. Sharing what you see is part of it but, sharing your enthusiasm is more of it. I think that's the biggest part of human communication, letting someone else feel what you feel. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Noraly, always enjoy your enthusiasm and geology 101 !! I hope getting a”taste”of what you could experience in the lower 48 will bring you back down through the rest of the states when you’re finished in Alaska. Would be a shame for you to miss the rest since you’re already here. Stay safe 🏍
I’ve been to Yellowstone and the whole region many times. Glad you are enjoying the beauty of our country. And the geology lessons make your travels all the more interesting. Thanks 🙏
Your joy is so contagious. I can never thank you enough for sharing your travels and educating me about our amazing earth. I hope I can remember you geology lessons!
You're incredibly lucky to see those bears. Simply amazing. If you were able to go straight to Gardiner this must've been filmed before the June 2022 Yellowstone flooding that washed away that road.
What can I say but I am more amazed than the last. Big smile on my face looking at those beautiful scenery, extremely glad hearing and learning new things about geology, plus the bonus of passing by some animals, and you are sharing all of these with us... Truly thankful to you Noraly. Watching your YT channel is a habit I never regret forming. Haters will gonna hate, but they can never steal your charisma, your talents & abilities, and the contagious smile and twinkle in your eyes. The genuine YOU. You are unique that's why we are here to stay... Thanks again and just keep doing what you do.. Keep safe
@@williamlombardo43 there are people creating their YT channel using using Noraly's videos and along with it spreading like a hate speech against her. One was even imitating Itchy Boots with Ilchy Boots. Not nice
I’m 65 today, & as a treat I watched you latest vid’. It was a treat, one of your best yet. I know nothing of geology but I was buzzing. Finally, why oh why aren’t you doing stuff on regular TV about geology- you’re an ab-fab natural.
Your channel is a sanctuary from the chaos of the real world. One of the biggest reasons I started driving a big truck over the road 26 years ago to see all this, you are seeing right now. And I also carry my motorcycle in my trailer so I can go places where the truck cannot go. An entire lifetime isn't enough to discover entirely the western part of the US. This is the best channel on You Tube, bar none.
Then she need more time to edit and less to drive because of your greed. There are other motorcycle channels where people ride around the world. People always have to make demands, drive around the world yourself...
@@ytrebiLeurT Whoa, whoa! Where exactly does Eric make demands or demonstrate greed? If you have comprehension issues you really shouldn't be commenting. Of course, if you're just a nasty piece of work, you'll no doubt compound your idiotic comments.
In reading the comments I am always struck by the appreciation of the locals of whatever country you are in! Looking at your own country through a Noraly's viewpoint and eyes is so entertaining. Makes us appreciate where we all live. Thank you for a fascinating episode today. Last time at Old Faithfull we misjudged the wind direction and got a warm shower when it erupted, good times!
Yellowstone is one of those places I'm thankful to have seen while an adult, so I could really appreciate her full beauty and wealth of her resources. It's entirely magical, to say the very least.
Love your enthusiasm for all the natural wonders (who wouldn't be excited). So fun to watch your adventure unfold. Have fun, be safe! I think that itch is contagious!
*Ms Noraly, thank you for todays lesson. It's the same geothermal situation in Rotorua New Zealand with the geysers, mudpools & hot spring steam etc. Sadly our Pink & White Terraces disappeared during the eruption of Mount Tarawera, NZ in 1886. Wow you got up & personal with Bison's & a mama grizzly bear & her cubs.*
There is that 0.001% percent of extraordinary people in the world, and you are one of them Noraly. All of us have much to learn from your achievements and adventures. Much love from Colorado, USA
It's a real joy to see you riding through my country now, experiencing things I've experienced but seen with new eyes. A real revelation. Your geological explanations are better than I got when visiting Yellowstone myself. Your posts are always enjoyable. Stay safe and have fun!
Noraly, I never heard you só happy in every video in the USA! You have a blast in that amazing country. To be honest: these are my favorit vids. I love all your episodes all seasons, but this is absolutely my favorit! Enjoy, be happy, take good care (not worried about that) and keep surprising us all with your USA-adventures!! Thanks Noraly!!
I could listen to Noraly teach geology (big thing here in California where I live) for hours and still never tire of learning from her about the subject! ❤️
My wife and I have ridden our motorcycles through Yellowstone three times but it was never explained as well as you have done it. Thank you very much and please stay safe. We love following your adventure to Alaska. We have rode our motorcycles in all of the lower forty eight states and hope you get to do that also. God speed.
Those are some of my favorite states in the US (Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Alaska). I hope one day I can make that trip, even stay in the place with wagons and the teepees. In the meantime, I get to enjoy everything through your lense. Thank you for taking us through this amazing journey with you. With all your knowledge, your adventurous and joyful personality, you are the best guide we could have ever gotten! This has been a unique awesome experience!
I brought my family to see Old Faithful ten years ago. We would have seen more if we had you as our tour guide! Thanks for showing this as it brings back happy memories.
I love how Noraly geeks out in this episode. She must have visited there in May/early June, as she was able to travel to Gardiner. 4 miles of roads were reportedly washed away in June from heavy flooding. I’m glad she missed that.
Your geology lesson was a great refresher; you’re a great teacher Noraly 👍🏼 I too worked in the earth sciences for a period of my life, and then went off to do other stuff; always good to go back and visit my beloved field of study, I never have stopped looking down at all the little stones on the ground, they have so much to say! Love your journey through our beautiful Rocky Mountains!
Really enjoyed the professorial stuff, and all the rest of the amazing content. Instead of having a few hundred students in an undergraduate lecture hall in GEO 201, you now have countless thousands of students (and admirers) from all over the planet. What an amazing way to put the mysteries and the underlying science of planet earth on display. I think of Carl Sagan, of many years, ago, who had a stellar way of presenting astronomy/planetary science. You have taken geology, and so many of your fascinating ancillary day-to-day travel experiences from all over the world, forward by leaps and bounds way beyond what Dr. Sagan has done. By the way, if you need someone to help you grade exam papers down the road, let me know. 🙂
Grizzly Bear and her cubs! Amazing! Fantastic day at Yellowstone NP! That is the best view I have ever seen of Old Faithful erupting! Sooo Cool! Bison giving you the side eye! I love it! Terrific video and day!
Hi Noraly - love your videos. Having grown up in Montana, I have been to Yellowstone many, many times, but it is special to see it through your eyes and hear the exuberance in your voice as you see it for the first time . . . and thank you for the geology lesson.

Itchy Boots your educational lesson about Yellowstone and the volcano paid off. There was a quiz programme on TV, Tipping Point here in the UK and one of the questions was "which US national park in the US is the largest. Straight away I knew it was Yellowstone listening to Itchy Boots educational lesson. Well done Itchy Boots.

Your knowledge and passion for Geology is outstanding. I always feel like I learn something new after viewing your videos.
She is a university trained geologist and worked in this area before becoming a motor bike lady…lol
With all the crazy stuff going on in our country this is a reminder of the beautiful place we live in. 🇺🇲
I've crossed the US years ago and I understand your emotions travelling through this incredible landscape.
I've been following you (sounds creepy😁) since day 1 of your adventures.
You are genuinely a good person Noraly.
Thank you for sharing your travels.
👌🤝
What a Blessing it was to find you Noraly.. I just adore, admire thoroughly enjoy every video you upload!! Thank you.❤
"He gave me the side eye" 👁🤣 Thank you for yet another beautifully edited, uplifting, informative, beautiful video.
Love Love Love 🙌
This is just beyond enjoyment and entertainment. We get to see Yellowstone, the beautiful wildlife and animals and get educated on the earth and how she works. And I like the way you draw by the way 🙂. Thank you Noraly, thank you so much!
I’m an addicted rockhound-the geologic information is as priceless as your videos. I’m sure I’ll re-watch all your uploads more than a few times. Thanks for all of your hard work NS
Especially that she will make questions about geology at the end of the season. She said it. 👏👏👏🏍️🏍️🏍️
I dug up my little 'Golden Book' about ROCKS AND MINERALS, been looking though it again after Noraly's lessons. I don't know much about geology but have always been fascinated by rocks.
@@Minina-Nena-Celina Right? I need to go back and watch the geology lesson ones and take notes for the final exam. 🤓✍🧑🎓👷♀🏔🌋
@@Britspence381 I have one too! Bought it over 12 years ago. I used to sit in the sand in school on the play ground in Tucson and collect sand rubies. Everyday during recess, I was out with the monkey bars and sand. , Love Rocks!
'oops, through it again...'
Your on the fly drawing, use of both cameras to inter-cut, and the preamble on Alaska while riding... you are truly a master of "shooting for continuity". My hat is off to you!
I echo you sentiments. I know it must be A LOT of work to edited these videos. Her professionalism shows in the quality provided.
Lovely but What No Grand Canyon tour that would be a great adventure on your bike 🚴 I love ❤️ to see the Grand Canyon by Noraly 🙏🏼God bless and stay safe!😇
@@siry5164I think she was going to see the Grand Canyon before she got hurt but because of time limits she has to get to Alaska before winter starts summer is very short up there
I can’t tell what you love more, geology or motorcycle travel. You’re living the dream. Ride on, Noraly.
I for one, really appreciated the geology lesson. Especially the drawing. I knew bits and pieces but you helped clarify my understanding of the Yellowstone area.
“Gly”: What makes your adventures even more fun is your love of geology. Yellowstone is a magical place indeed filled with adventure and beauty.
I Dream of visiting yellowstone
I .live in Ecuador but am U.S. I've never seen my country look so good, particularly now that so much of it is over developed, so homogenized. Thanks, Noraly. I'm 79 and going blind, because of you I may try to get up there one last time to see what you are showing.
All any US citizen has to do to leave the “homogenous” portions of the country is to take the drive off the Interstate or hike/bike out of the cities. Most of the US is still wild and available. We must preserve it wild and clean in perpetuity. It’s the most important thing we can leave to descendants.
I laughed when the Bison gave you the “side eye”. LOL! How wonderful to see these beautiful creatures!
Noraly channel could be: teaching geology when riding a motorcycle. 😂😂😂 I ❤ it
I live an hour from Yellowstone. I have gone dozens of times and never get tired of going. I love having guests so I can take them to see the majesty of this place.
I’ve decided to get a motorcycle and travel around my state of Arizona because of you! Very inspiring!
Jon H, film where you go! And please share it. In Tucson be careful out there. Going back soon.
You might want to add Sterling Noren's videos to your inspiration list as well. He lives in Bisbee, AZ.
Noraly, my husband and I have been following your adventures for a few years already, and we both love it! Keep safe, and continue sharing the amazing wonders of God's Creation!
I discovered Itchy Boots just recently. I am frenetically trying to catch up on back-episodes! while staying current as well. As an "old" dirt biker I find EVERY episode so very uplifting, joyful and informative. Noraly's off road endurance is at such a high level! Thank you for sharing your travels. What a breath of fresh air!
You're right because of the geologic lesson, it's better to circle back all her seasons.
Sorry, anybody riding a bike with one hand on the handles is stupid. Less control of the bike . Especially when wildlife can dart in front of you .
@@anitakristensen4679 we can tell you've never ridden before. Noraly has enough experience to know what she is doing, after all she has ridden motorcycles around the world. No worries.
@@ahsnap9103 you don't know me , I do ride . And I live just outside of the park. Animals dart out in front of you . Even the experience rider collides with deer , elk , moose , bear , and have had incidents with bison . Experience don't save everyone.
@@anitakristensen4679 yes you're right animal's will jump out in front of you, and depending on how fast you and them are moving and the distance in between determines outcome sometimes.
Good to know I'm talking to a fellow rider. I once had a deer jump over the back of my car, when I saw it after i passed a hedge row the deer was running through a field and if was able to react quick enough and brake the deer would have run into the side of me.
Been lucky a couple times on my street bike as well, a drunk driver crossing from turn lane to the shoulder inches behind me in the slow lane and an idiot on a scooter did a u turn right as I passed by going about 70 without looking..better lucky than good I guess.
Be safe.
Noraly’s enthusiasm is contagious. I like the nerding out, too!! Glad you missing the flooding.
I started watching Itchy Boots from season 3 up to present for almost a month now and it's ADDICTIVE & UPLIFTING! Geology 201 Love it! Take care always, beautiful kind Noraly. 😍👍
This area takes your breath away . I have a friend that saw you north of Yellowstone In Montana and she was really fighting the urge to come meet you . She is a big fan , she was just giving you the side eye . I won’t say when it was because those are secrets we fans keep to ourselves and don’t post because we care about keeping you as safe as possible. Love following you Noraly.
I live in Montana too! I wished I was fortunate enough to wave at Noraly! Good for your friend!!!
It's not a secret...these videos are posted about 10 weeks after they are filmed! Basic detective work can ascertain that from watching the videos and determining time of year, season, major holidays or events taking place in the background, adverts on billboards in the background etc!
@@antonioveritas , I think he was referring to posting all over social media that I saw Noraly on 8/24/2022 in Banff National Park. Oops, did I just say that out loud? ;-) We know that the videos are behind, and we know her destination, but we don't know her route, or planned arrival.
@@antonioveritas
That’s right. Major once-in-500 years flooding occurred in Yellowstone from the 12th of June, 2022. Major roads were washed away and the Park was closed for weeks.
So Noraly definitely rode through Yellowstone much before June 12.
@@Dave-sw2dm Perhaps we ought to start confusing would be stalkers by giving lots of false sightings! I think I saw Noraly in the fish and chip shop in Whitby last week! There, that should throw them off the scent! 😁
Hi Noraly, the smile and excitement says it all, thanks again for a very informative geology episode, the look on your face when you saw mamma bear and her babies were priceless. You are such an inspiration to all of us and seeing Yellowstone was awesome. Some of us would have never seen the world if it wasn't for you. Keep safe and God Bless. 🙏🙏🏍🏍🇿🇦💪
Thanks Noraly for bringing everything to life. I have never been there. Seeing the wildlife and the geyser from your view was awesome. The Tetons are spectacular. Learning geology from you too! ❤
she should get a unicycle
Noraly, as a newcomer to your channel and after watching this video, I was hooked and watched the 8 videos preceeding this one. Your traveling on Alaska creates the illusion of being in a virtual reality adventure narrated by a
vibrant and sharp young lady. Your videography has a dynamic presentation which brings out all of mother nature's glory.
Go start at S1 Ep1..you're in for a real treat.
@@ernieD There should have been a prequel to S1 Ep1. The start was quite sudden without a backstory
I’m about a year behind watching your videos. I’m only at Yellowstone. I’m completely hooked. The wonder of the knowledge you share about the earth and the mountains is awesome. You are a real pro. I watch about 4 videos a night trying to catch up. Your actually in Liberia while I’m trying to catch up. Your videos are contagious and your enthusiasm brings the wonder of the earth alive to us viewers. Amazing. Thankyou
Maybe one of the best videos ever! I'll watch it several times and I'll bet it holds up over time. Sharing what you see is part of it but, sharing your enthusiasm is more of it. I think that's the biggest part of human communication, letting someone else feel what you feel. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for making the world a better place.
Noraly, always enjoy your enthusiasm and geology 101 !!
I hope getting a”taste”of what you could experience in the lower 48
will bring you back down through the rest of the states when you’re finished in Alaska. Would be a shame for you to miss the rest since you’re already here. Stay safe 🏍
I’ve been to Yellowstone and the whole region many times. Glad you are enjoying the beauty of our country. And the geology lessons make your travels all the more interesting. Thanks 🙏
Your joy is so contagious. I can never thank you enough for sharing your travels and educating me about our amazing earth. I hope I can remember you geology lessons!
You're incredibly lucky to see those bears. Simply amazing. If you were able to go straight to Gardiner this must've been filmed before the June 2022 Yellowstone flooding that washed away that road.
This video is in my top 5. Beautiful fauna and flora, good lesson of geology, taught by a good teacher. Thanks Noraly.
What can I say but I am more amazed than the last. Big smile on my face looking at those beautiful scenery, extremely glad hearing and learning new things about geology, plus the bonus of passing by some animals, and you are sharing all of these with us... Truly thankful to you Noraly. Watching your YT channel is a habit I never regret forming.
Haters will gonna hate, but they can never steal your charisma, your talents & abilities, and the contagious smile and twinkle in your eyes. The genuine YOU. You are unique that's why we are here to stay... Thanks again and just keep doing what you do.. Keep safe
Well said !
who could possibly hate these videos???
@@williamlombardo43 there are people creating their YT channel using using Noraly's videos and along with it spreading like a hate speech against her. One was even imitating Itchy Boots with Ilchy Boots. Not nice
Crooks , cheats , fools - maybe…… but there is no way to hate her videos unless you are mentally ill.
This entire trip has been such an amazing geological adventure. Thank for that!
Amazing and thanks a ton mama bear and three cubs for cheering-up our little Norally, the mighty little girl.
Keep it up Norally.
I’m 65 today, & as a treat I watched you latest vid’. It was a treat, one of your best yet. I know nothing of geology but I was buzzing.
Finally, why oh why aren’t you doing stuff on regular TV about geology- you’re an ab-fab natural.
Your channel is a sanctuary from the chaos of the real world. One of the biggest reasons I started driving a big truck over the road 26 years ago to see all this, you are seeing right now. And I also carry my motorcycle in my trailer so I can go places where the truck cannot go. An entire lifetime isn't enough to discover entirely the western part of the US. This is the best channel on You Tube, bar none.
I really wish these videos were a bit longer. They're so much fun!
Then she need more time to edit and less to drive because of your greed. There are other motorcycle channels where people ride around the world. People always have to make demands, drive around the world yourself...
@@ytrebiLeurT I have no greed or any demands. I was just making a comment on how fun the videos are.
@ytrebiLeurT time to take your chill pill!
You are free to watch them 2, 3... 7 times each...
@@ytrebiLeurT Whoa, whoa! Where exactly does Eric make demands or demonstrate greed? If you have comprehension issues you really shouldn't be commenting. Of course, if you're just a nasty piece of work, you'll no doubt compound your idiotic comments.
In reading the comments I am always struck by the appreciation of the locals of whatever country you are in! Looking at your own country through a Noraly's viewpoint and eyes is so entertaining. Makes us appreciate where we all live. Thank you for a fascinating episode today. Last time at Old Faithfull we misjudged the wind direction and got a warm shower when it erupted, good times!
Yellowstone is one of those places I'm thankful to have seen while an adult, so I could really appreciate her full beauty and wealth of her resources. It's entirely magical, to say the very least.
Love your enthusiasm for all the natural wonders (who wouldn't be excited). So fun to watch your adventure unfold. Have fun, be safe!
I think that itch is contagious!
Thank you Noraly for bringing Yellowstone into my living room. That's about as close as I'll get to it.
So glad you got to see this before the floods washed out some of the roads! Such a beautiful place.
*Ms Noraly, thank you for todays lesson. It's the same geothermal situation in Rotorua New Zealand with the geysers, mudpools & hot spring steam etc. Sadly our Pink & White Terraces disappeared during the eruption of Mount Tarawera, NZ in 1886. Wow you got up & personal with Bison's & a mama grizzly bear & her cubs.*
There is that 0.001% percent of extraordinary people in the world, and you are one of them Noraly. All of us have much to learn from your achievements and adventures. Much love from Colorado, USA
Awesome episode, love the Joy and interest you share. Thank you for taking us along with you!
It's a real joy to see you riding through my country now, experiencing things I've experienced but seen with new eyes. A real revelation. Your geological explanations are better than I got when visiting Yellowstone myself. Your posts are always enjoyable. Stay safe and have fun!
Living in Wyoming… I never get tired of listening to other peoples reactions to seeing the state! Thanks for coming… we appreciate your visit.
You got lucky and missed the flooding. Thank you for bringing back great memories of Yellowstone.
Noraly, I never heard you só happy in every video in the USA! You have a blast in that amazing country. To be honest: these are my favorit vids. I love all your episodes all seasons, but this is absolutely my favorit! Enjoy, be happy, take good care (not worried about that) and keep surprising us all with your USA-adventures!! Thanks Noraly!!
Do Jo, yes, those are different bears . Like I stated previously. Bear 399 had 4 cubs that all survived and went on their own this spring
I could listen to Noraly teach geology (big thing here in California where I live) for hours and still never tire of learning from her about the subject! ❤️
My wife and I have ridden our motorcycles through Yellowstone three times but it was never explained as well as you have done it. Thank you very much and please stay safe. We love following your adventure to Alaska. We have rode our motorcycles in all of the lower forty eight states and hope you get to do that also. God speed.
Those are some of my favorite states in the US (Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, and Alaska). I hope one day I can make that trip, even stay in the place with wagons and the teepees. In the meantime, I get to enjoy everything through your lense.
Thank you for taking us through this amazing journey with you. With all your knowledge, your adventurous and joyful personality, you are the best guide we could have ever gotten! This has been a unique awesome experience!
I brought my family to see Old Faithful ten years ago. We would have seen more if we had you as our tour guide! Thanks for showing this as it brings back happy memories.
Great video! Been to Yellowstone several times in my life but your enthusiasm and knowledge makes me want to go back again! Thank you.
Thank you for bringing us along. This is so much fun!
Wow!...that's really an epic place!...also
we are learning so much of geology with each episode!.
Thank you Noraly!
I love how Noraly geeks out in this episode. She must have visited there in May/early June, as she was able to travel to Gardiner. 4 miles of roads were reportedly washed away in June from heavy flooding. I’m glad she missed that.
What a awesome vlog! It’s an absolute delight watching you get your Geologist geek on. 😊🙏🏍
Breathtaking, such beautiful & amazing scenery,food for the soul. Thank you Noraly,I thoroughly enjoyed this ride 🙏😄
Your geology lesson was a great refresher; you’re a great teacher Noraly 👍🏼
I too worked in the earth sciences for a period of my life, and then went off to do other stuff; always good to go back and visit my beloved field of study, I never have stopped looking down at all the little stones on the ground, they have so much to say!
Love your journey through our beautiful Rocky Mountains!
Riding thru Yellowstone and seeing all the sites with you, along with your explanations, has been like being on a bus trip. Wonderful!
I haven't really cared about geology until this episode, you're a natural teacher. Brava!
Happy to see you walks with no pain, and as always: Educating and exiting
What a fantastic film and what a fantastic planet we live on.
You make it so much fun, when you talk about geological sites. The way you smile and your enthusiasm is just wonderful to watch and contagious. 🥰
Your enthusiasm is contagious and therapeutic. Thanks, as always.
I love how she managed to have a great time with her adventures while making a cinematic and knowledgeable videos... KUDOS Itchy Boots
Really enjoyed the professorial stuff, and all the rest of the amazing content. Instead of having a few hundred students in an undergraduate lecture hall in GEO 201, you now have countless thousands of students (and admirers) from all over the planet. What an amazing way to put the mysteries and the underlying science of planet earth on display. I think of Carl Sagan, of many years, ago, who had a stellar way of presenting astronomy/planetary science. You have taken geology, and so many of your fascinating ancillary day-to-day travel experiences from all over the world, forward by leaps and bounds way beyond what Dr. Sagan has done. By the way, if you need someone to help you grade exam papers down the road, let me know. 🙂
Grizzly Bear and her cubs! Amazing! Fantastic day at Yellowstone NP! That is the best view I have ever seen of Old Faithful erupting! Sooo Cool! Bison giving you the side eye! I love it! Terrific video and day!
Hi Noraly - love your videos. Having grown up in Montana, I have been to Yellowstone many, many times, but it is special to see it through your eyes and hear the exuberance in your voice as you see it for the first time . . . and thank you for the geology lesson. You are very much appreciated by your followers! Cheers!
