I'm always surprised at how many people there at Yellowstone. Glad you were able to find some less crowded areas. I wonder what the first people who came across these geysers thought.
Given the smell and the heat... I can imagine they probably thought it was some place to be avoided/possible evil. Then again, it's clear that some past civilizations had greater knowledge of physics and the universe than one would imagine so who knows! Interesting thing to ponder though. 😊
My vote is yes to some fishing! Not only tossing a line in from shore, but more use for the kayak!! You can totally get those Disney vibes from the video. Definitely a blessing and a curse for the park I'm sure. Can't wait to see the rest...
My vote is yes to the fishing! What an awesome camping adventure!! I've always wondered how it would be done during a camping trip and to see it done on the Cactus Atlas, freaking awesome! They're plentiful and as mentioned, the fish is being honored as food, it wouldn't be fishing for sport.
No to fishing. Went to Yellowstone several years ago, in early June. It was not as crowded, however we got up very early to hit places before the crowds were too bad. Loved Norris Basin. It is other worldly. The landscape is so different. We walked around Mammoth near the hotel and the area was full of elk. Cars had to be cautious as the elk were crossing the street with no care in the world. It is beautiful park.
@@CactusAtlas I will also add that sometimes you are not set up for cleaning/storing/cooking your catch, so yes, catch and release is totally acceptable.
Fishing can be interesting. Watch Jim Baird and his brother Ted. They fish a lot but it doesn't dominate their videos. I would like to see you include it. Do you fly-fish?
Glenn doesn't have experience fly-fishing... would be something he would learn. We're unsure if fishing will be included in videos or on this channel. Just trying to see how people feel. Appreciate your comment! Thanks! 😄👍
I definitely would appreciate fishing added to the channel... it doesnt get much better than fishing with gorgeous views..And its a great way to get away from the Disney crowd at a park.. my #1 hobby
Hey there. Very enjoyable watch as always and some interesting thoughts along the way. Crowds don’t bother me but if I was doing what your doing which in too self conscious about yet to even attempt I would have trouble with crowds lol. I don’t really fish but wouldn’t mind watching here and there. Henry Winkler wrote a great book about how fly fishing has been such a wonderful life experience for him and giving him a sense of connection and direction. As always thanks for putting this out there.
Interesting! I didn't know he wrote a book on it. I've seen his pictures on social media of his catches and his face just beams with happiness. It's quite clear he loves it! 😄
Well, I wasn't gonna say it, but since you did...yes, Mammoth is not as great as it used to be, like back when my mom was young 😅 we usually drive through to get to Lamar Valley as quick as we can. But, at least now ya know 😉 Our first trip back in 2012 we spent 13 days camping all over the park 😊 I'm so happy you are getting to explore the park, it really is something to be seen! 😊
Haha! Well, definitely know now. I imagine the place was magical back in the day though. But 13 days camping in the park? WOW. Now THAT is the way to do it!
Hey Cactus Atlas! I've been watching your channel for about 4 months now and this is my first time commenting. I absolutely love your content! Keep it up! I'm from the St. Louis Missouri area but have lived in Colorado for 2.5 years (since 2021). I think I heard Glenn mention he or his family was from Missouri in this vid when he was talking about fishing. Anyway, when I visited the Yellowstone area in 2022, I approached the area from the South. We stopped at both sides of Dinosaur National Monument and stayed the night in Vernal Utah on the way to Wyoming. The Colorado side has incredible scenic canyon views while the Utah side has a dinosaur quarry and a few petroglyph sites. Each side has its own visitor center. I checked the google maps list of places you have filmed and did not see Dinosaur National Monument on the list. I highly recommend checking this place out! We also hit the Flaming Gorge on the way from Dinosaur to Grand Teton and that place was pretty cool too. The day on our itinerary we had set aside to visit Grand Teton NP ended up being the exact day that Yellowstone closed for the first time in decades due to extreme flooding. Yellowstone closed the day before we were supposed to enter the park for 4 days. The park remained closed for about 2 weeks, so needless to say, our trip got cut short a few days. Our once in a lifetime Yellowstone trip will have to be done another year. Anyway, Dinosaur National Monument ended up being the unexpected highlight of that trip. Thanks for reading if you made it this far.
Read the whole thing! Thank you for sharing! Dinosaur National Monument is actually somewhere we've got our sights on going to. Just a matter of timing and working it into a trip. And St Louis! We're actually both from there (and where we first met)! How cool! 😄
I don’t mind the fishing. I never got into it myself. My ex-husband was into it. Still recall him going fishing with his brother.& Bringing back a bunch of fish and cleaning it inside my SIL & BIL house then cooking it, but I couldn’t let go of the smell of the fish when it was being gutted Ect. So the fish was difficult for me to eat and I am not a fan of eating fresh water fish. I love seafood and shellfish. Anyway, thank you again for the Yellowstone video. I enjoyed it that is on my list. Not planning on going during peak season. I’m taking September possibly October. Question for you I know that you camp solo in your tent occasionally. Here’s my question do you see many solo women, camping in tents. Planning on buying a van that I can camp in and I may take a trip before I get the van. That would mean staying in a motel, some other lodging or tent camping.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on the fishing! 😄👍 I know there are a handful of RUclips channels of solo women traveling around. I'll have to ask Glenn about his camping experiences and what he notes. Given that he's usually filming when in campgrounds he might not even take notice! 😂 (Edit - He said that he sees some, yes)
I really enjoyed this- you saved the best for last!! I’ve wanted to visit for several years and just haven’t been able to get to that way! I think your viewers like you guys and whatever you are interested in would be good for the viewer. Fishing is one of the great things to do in the great outdoors! I appreciate your empathy for the animals 😀🙏
I know that feeling wanting to escape the crowds. Looks like you found some solitude on the Grand Loop -- some fishing might be fun too! 😁 Thanks for all the hard work that goes into these videos! Nice edit too Amy!
Definitely would only be here and there. Even though there are opportunities in Arizona, there's still plenty of desert to explore, too. Thanks for sharing your opinion! 😄👍
Glenn your channel is absolutely incredible and Amy does such a great job editing as well 🙂 I would love to see some fishing sprinkled into the Cactus Atlas adventures. I am also a kindred spirit and fellow explorer / adventurer and your channel and all of your efforts are so fascinating and relaxing to watch. Keep up the great job and God bless!
Yes to some fishing, I enjoy the running water and beauty of it all. Catch and release does not always hurt the fish if done properly, but there’s always someone that cries about that too. You do what you like and I wouldn’t pay no nevermind to the negative comments. Another channel would be good to if you want to separate the two. Great videos!!
We'll definitely see how it goes and decide from there. As always, we like a good bit of variety, so I doubt it would be terribly often or too much time. Just curious. 😄 Thanks for your kind words!
I probably wouldn’t watch videos of fishing. But, I’m not into fishing. I would ask that the fishing be in a video of fishing, titled as such. A that fishing not be in these lovely videos of hikes, ruins and nature.
Appreciate the feedback! We're not entirely sure if fishing will be included at all or not as of yet. Mostly just putting out feelers and seeing how you all feel. Thanks for responding and your opinion. 😄👍
I don't think we'd ever show anything graphic. At least I would never leave it in an edit. Heck, I don't even want to see it. One of the reasons Glenn asked as I'm kinda not into it. 😅 Thanks for sharing your opinion! 😊👍
Never would show any gore. For starters, I don't think it would be the easiest thing to film and second, I would never allow it in an edit. No reason to see that. 😅 I think Glenn is just talking about a minute or two of casting a line... maybe showing some scenery around the water and just chit chatting while sitting around for a short bit. But never fear... hikes and scenery are going nowhere. 😊

Yellowstone is amazing, visited 6 years ago and planning to visit again next year.. way to much to see.. Thanks for sharing Cactus 🌵
Certainly a park worth visiting more than once should an opportunity to do so arises. It's immense!
I'm always surprised at how many people there at Yellowstone. Glad you were able to find some less crowded areas. I wonder what the first people who came across these geysers thought.
Sidetrack Adventure.. another great channel
Given the smell and the heat... I can imagine they probably thought it was some place to be avoided/possible evil. Then again, it's clear that some past civilizations had greater knowledge of physics and the universe than one would imagine so who knows! Interesting thing to ponder though. 😊

👏 It IS an angler's kayak, after all. More Yellowstone to come in the next weeks!
Amazing!! Thanks for inviting me. Love. Yellowstone.
Any time! Our pleasure! 😊

Getting up early certainly helps avoid the crowds. It's kind of amazing how many animals are just wandering around in Yellowstone. It's awesome. 😊
Fishing - go for it! I'd love to see some and catch and eat all you want!
Appreciate the feedback! We shall see what the future holds! 😄👍
@@CactusAtlas I will also add that sometimes you are not set up for cleaning/storing/cooking your catch, so yes, catch and release is totally acceptable.

Very worth a visit. 👍

Dropping a fishing line now and then in the beautiful rivers, when it takes your fancy, on your travels sounds peaceful and exceptable to me Glen 🙂
Awesome! Thank you for your very much appreciated feedback. 😊

Hopefully, fishing won't be despised. 😅 Aw... I hope you get an opportunity to see Yellowstone in the near future. I imagine you'd love it. 😊
@@CactusAtlas we enjoy fishing.. but rarely catch any!😂😂
I know that feeling wanting to escape the crowds. Looks like you found some solitude on the Grand Loop -- some fishing might be fun too! 😁 Thanks for all the hard work that goes into these videos! Nice edit too Amy!
Thanks! I guess that's us in a nutshell. Always seeking the quiet places. 🤣
Fishing for dinner sounds awesome
A bit of fishing every now and again would be cool!
Definitely would only be here and there. Even though there are opportunities in Arizona, there's still plenty of desert to explore, too. Thanks for sharing your opinion! 😄👍
The fumaroles in the Porcelain Basin, otherworldy!!! The whole place looks like it's on fire!
It really does have that appearance, didn't it? So wild.

I am also a kindred spirit and fellow explorer / adventurer and your channel and all of your efforts are so fascinating and relaxing to watch. Keep up the great job and God bless!
Fishing is something that we always come back to wanting to include. Just haven't gotten around to purchasing supplies and such. One of these days! 😅
Wow Glen! Too crowded on 4th of July at the National Parks. Go figure
😂 It's expected for sure. Just another thing in the moment when dealing with it. Lol

Glen Glen Glen. Yellowstone on the 4th of July?!? What were you thinking?!?
I hate crowds too. Totally understand.
This may sound weird, but you do you. You want to fish, fish! Just be authentic and we’ll follow along!
😂 Whoops.
Slim is gonna get jealous, driving around in a red and strange vehicle, at least it's a Denali version.
Haha! Luckily, Slim won't have to get jealous much longer. He's going to have plenty of adventures in the upcoming months.

@@CactusAtlas To add some nuance to my feedback: A few minutes of fishing in a beautiful place would be great to see anytime.
If I ever catch steamboat geyser going off, I am playing the lottery. I don't play the lottery. It's very rare to catch steamboat geyser to go off.
My vote is no to the fish slaughtering.
I don't think we'd ever show anything graphic. At least I would never leave it in an edit. Heck, I don't even want to see it. One of the reasons Glenn asked as I'm kinda not into it. 😅 Thanks for sharing your opinion! 😊👍
i come here for the geology/hikes, i dont mind fishing but please dont show the gore
Never would show any gore. For starters, I don't think it would be the easiest thing to film and second, I would never allow it in an edit. No reason to see that. 😅 I think Glenn is just talking about a minute or two of casting a line... maybe showing some scenery around the water and just chit chatting while sitting around for a short bit.
