thanks a million for all the great information! God's blessings...
You're very welcome!
Great video and gorgeous photos, I'm looking forward to spending some time in Yellowstone, hopefully next year.
I hope you're able to get there soon!
Best video for Yellowstone. Very informative. I like the maps :) helps with planning.
Thanks so much!
Thank you for all your information! I am planning my trip for Sep 2024 and this is really helping me with my plans!
So glad to hear that! Thanks for your support!
Thank you so much for your videos! My list of things I want to do in the park keeps growing longer and longer. I am headed out there this September/October for about a week! I then plan on heading down to Grand Teton and then ending my trip in SLC for a wedding. We are flying into Bozeman so I am excited to start my tip in the Lamar Valley area!
So exciting!!
We went to Yellowstone in 2017 but didn't spend a lot of time in the park, more of a "passing through" kind of tour on our way to Glacier in Montana. We picked Old Faithful as one of our stops based on its reputation and the history of the site. I must say though that we were very underwhelmed by the experience, there was no exciting sound, it wasn't an abrupt sudden eruption. Instead it was quiet and slowly arose out of the ground like someone slowy turning on a lawn sprinkler lol. It was also heavily packed there as this was the pre-reservation era and we had to stand around for 30 minutes in a crowd of people from around the world in mid-July heat with little shade. Since we had stopped there, we also didn't have time to stop at Mammoth Springs on our way out of the park and we absolutely regretted it. I would encourage visitors to think twice about going to Old Faithful, we didn't feel like it was worth our time. Thanks for providing the information about the park, we used your itinerary for our 2017 national park adventure and it was a huge help in navigating both parks, the high traffic areas, knowing where to go and when to get there, places of interest, etc., as first-time park goers it was worth the purchase and saved us a lot of hassle! We were able to see other stunning sites and had great experiences even though Old Faithful was a disappointment lol!
I hope you're able to go back to Yellowstone sometime! Next time, check out Grand Geyser or Castle Geyser -- I love those ones! But I'm glad the itineraries were helpful for your visit to those parks. Happy trails!
Old faithful is popular because of it being reliable and over-hyped (in my opinion) there are hundreds of smaller nearly guarantied sights around there and much larger non-guarantied geysers that can be far-far more impressive than old faithful in the old faithful area and in the park in general. For example there is Steamboat geyser, which is a very infrequently erupting geyser, and it's nearly certain you wouldn't see it. but that uncertainty mixed in with the overall power of it makes it a truly unique experience if you do manage to see it.
As for the actual impact if you will from the geysers (The sound and ground shaking and such) old faithful is probably the singular worst for that because you are not allowed to get close to it at all, where as most of the other ones you can get much closer to it.
Going there I early October
Exciting!
Thank you for your video. I just stumbled on this as I've started researching for our trip this summer. This is our families last trip before my oldest son leaves for a 2yr mission for our church, so I want to make the most of it. I'll definitely be checking out the website for your recommendations. I'm curious if you have any suggestions if we travel with our dog? We haven't decided to bring him or not, I'm curious if bringing him would limit our experience?
Very exciting! I have a full article on my site about dog-friendly areas in Yellowstone. But the short answer is yes, you will be limited. Dogs aren't allowed on almost every boardwalk or trail :)
very helpful!
Happy to help!
Ash I recently read about a major road collapse near Yellowstone. We are planning to visit in late Sept and wonder if access is affected?
It will only affect you if you are staying in Victor or Driggs and driving to Grand Teton from there. If you stay in Jackson or Wilson or Alpine, you won't be affected by the landslide/closure.
@@DirtInMyShoes Thanks for getting back to me Ash. We plan to fly into Salt Lake city and drive to West Yellowstone. How does that way look?
New subbie
Is the last week in Sept decent time to go over the last week in May?
You'll find the best time to visit Yellowstone post on dirtinmyshoes.com that will walk you through the pros and cons of each month in the park!
