Great info y'all :) We are hoping to head there in August and your videos have been a tremendous help
Happy to hear this! It is our pleasure... 😊 Are you road-tripping there or flying in first then renting a car? What areas of the park are you most looking forward to?

@@paulv5460 Not sure what you meant...?
In addition to decent hiking boots, I've found that trekking poles have been really helpful, especially going down a slope. They help slow the descent.
I get that staying outside the park is much less expensive, but as you point out, you could easily spend 1-3 hours getting from your hotel to your destination in the park. Sunrise/sunset in July is 6 a.m./9 p.m., so if you want to see wildlife at those times, you'll have to leave your hotel around 3 or 4 a.m. for dawn, or return to it around midnight for dusk. Just something to consider...
Great information otherwise.
Yes, April likes to use trekking poles at times since she has balance/vertigo issues... 🙂 That is a very valid point...it is worth it to stay closer for wildlife sightings. Thank you for watching & commenting; we appreciate the support! 😊
Beautiful scenery and excellent commentary. Thanks for all the tips on traveling to this destination. So informative and it's nice to know what to expect from packing for the trip to meal tip ideas. Keep up the great work guys. Y'all are amazing!!!!!
Thank you for the the compliments!! We appreciate you watching our videos all the way to the end! 😁
OMG, this is the most comprehensive and informational video for planning a trip to Yellowstone!!! Way to go!
Wow, thanks! That means so much to me.
Awesome video! We're going this July. I can't wait!
Thank you! 😊 That is exciting! What are you looking forward to the most at Yellowstone? Are you going to be able to spend any time at Grand Teton National Park too?
Beautiful intro, love how you captured the falls. Good tip to bring clothes that is suitable for all weather. Better prepared than sorry. And yes, always break in the shoes before going on any hikes. Very informative video. Love all the tips specially the binoculars one (now... need to find my binoculars...) Love the bit in 8:55 beautiful! Will definitely add Yellowstone on my travel list when I get to visit US again. Such a beautiful national park.
Thank you! We definitely hope that you get to visit Yellowstone someday...it is incredible! Do temperatures change rapidly on hikes there in NZ?
I've been to Yellowstone several times and seeing your video brought back so many happy memories. Thank you.
We are so glad to hear this! Thank you for watching & commenting... 😊 When did you last visit?
Thanks for the tips. I have visited YellowStone 15 years ago when I was in school. Need to revisit it with my family now. Beautiful view and animals. Lovely and informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Hopefully you can visit Yellowstone again soon! What is a memory you have from when you were there 15 years ago?
Your footage is absolutely amazing. Can't wait to go there and check it out. Thank you for living life! :)
Thanks for watching! Yes...live life!! 😁😎
Thank you for the info. We are going to Yellowstone for the first time this summer. Sooo excited!
You are welcome! That IS exciting! What are you looking forward to the most? 😀
Nice job. We have family that lives about an hour away in MT and we’ve been to Yellowstone a lot. Only advise I have is stay on the trails as there are a lot of deaths and accidents when people don’t. It’s a wild place.
Definitely. Some people are just plain dumb, sadly...
Such awesome info, most convinced me to add it to my list, so much to see and your camerawork id brilliant
Thank you! We hope someday you get to come visit Yellowstone 😊
I’ve been there on two separate trips and both times I stayed in Idaho falls. It’s only 1.5 hours away. Also stayed one night in Cody and that is a beautiful drive!! Idaho falls is a nice town with all the needed stores and restaurants. I also downloaded Gypsy Guide app for Yellowstone and it’s an awesome guided tour you can play through your vehicle stereo system. It works off the GPS on your phone and gives lots of history and practical info as you ride though.
Thank you for your input! We need to go to Cody one time; heard good things about the drive and a sort of ghost town there. We have not heard of Gypsy Guide before--what a great tip!
So many great tips!! We are going for the first time as a family this Summer 2024!!
We're glad to hear it! 😊
How many days do you get to spend in Yellowstone?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap hoping 2-3
Very nice! Let us know how it all turns out, if you'd like...we'd be interested in hearing 😀
These are great tips! I've always wanted to visit this national park. Your video sold me to making a trip there happen. Looks so stunning!
You should go soon; it is "stunning" as well
I have been to Yellowstone but as a kid so this was great information. Plus all the beautiful video footage! Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Thank you! Great video 🥰
You are so welcome! 😊 And thank you...when do you get to visit Yellowstone?
Bravo! I am forwarding this video onto several other people who will be traveling with me to Yellowstone this coming Summer.
Great to hear, thank you! 😀 Here is our series for Yellowstone (and GTNP), if you want to check out any of our other videos about the area: ruclips.net/p/PL3GWLQpL-dQDRMkIgcpOv6mLVi5wIlnDe What month are you planning to visit?
If you want to beat the crowd or see wildlife at dawn, it's best to camp in the park. It help me with my stay at Yellowstone for five days. I stayed at Canyon campground. It's best to camp at multiple places in Yellowstone to make driving to the main attractions easier. That's the one thing I wish I did do on my trip. Camp at different places in the park.
Yes, camping is a great way to go! How much in advance did you have to reserve your site?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap it's 6 months now. I think many campgrounds will start doing reservations going forward.
@@coastskyadventures2752 Gotcha. Thanks for sharing :-)
I was able to reserve 4 nights at the beginning of June at Headwaters campground. I was pretty happy about that.
Lovely views Amazing Lot thanks for showing it dear New Friend 👍💞 Big like
Thank you so much 🙂 We invite you to subscribe and hit the bell to stay tuned for our future content... 😇
This is so high on my bucket list! Thank you so much for all your tips. How close did you manage to get to the animals? So cool! It's good to know about the unpredictable weather. I never think twice about it but clearly, for a trip like this, it is essential! Great tip about downloading maps in advance too. Thank you again for sharing and I love all the shots you've captured.
Our pleasure! We hope you get to visit Yellowstone sooner than later! Wayne got close but not too close... 😎
Enjoyed your video. You are both entertaining and informative.
Thanks so much...it is our pleasure! 😊 Are you visiting Yellowstone any time soon?
Nice tips! Good video length and very comprehensive. We plan to go this summer!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching & commenting 😊 It is going to be a very, VERY busy season in the park, but maybe you have already heard this... Feel free to ask us any questions; we are happy to help if we can 😃
Thanks for some useful tips
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful views and i always wanted to visit almost all the places you guys visited.I just wanted to know how you guys plan a trip in a short period of time and from your video i realized you guys research so much and i really how you keep on traveling and never seen you tired and stressed.The yellowstone look so beautiful and you are lucky to see all those animals.
Oh, we get tired and stressed! 😆😎 It's all part of travel though. Which animal would you like to see most in the wild?
Hi April & Wayne, I'm Kim. I love you guys! I sure enjoyed watching this video, as I'm planning a trip to Yosemite, and now I especially feel inspired to go! I liked that the experience of watching was like a couple of friends just telling me about their trip and I appreciated all the details and the visuals (and the music)! Great job and thank you! (I subscribed!)
Hello, and welcome to our Go Travel On The Cheap community! ...did you mean Yosemite, or Yellowstone...or both? 😇 Thank you for your kind words and for watching our video!
a very very cool video ,National Park must visit one day
Thank you for watching & commenting! We invite you to subscribe and hit the bell to stay tuned for our future content... 😇
We will be taking a trip to Yellowstone In July. I just subscribed to your channel. I appreciate all of the info. I am thinking of staying in Gardiner. I hope that is a good choice.
Welcome to our Go Travel On The Cheap community! So glad to hear our video helped you. Gardiner should be great; hopefully it is a good base even with the remaining closures in the park. Let us know how you enjoy your trip in July! 😀
Thanks so much for the video. Some great advice. We will be there in September of 2021👍
It's our pleasure! So glad to hear it helped you 😊 What do you have on your itinerary at this point, if you don't mind us asking? 😃
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap We have three full days and half a day planned. So we are looking at sunrise in the Lamar valley, sunset at Mammoth springs, a day to tour around the lake and see Old Faithful, then one day to catch any sights we miss. Sound ok to you?
@@GPosner8 Sounds great! Hopefully you can see some animals at sunrise in Lamar... Hope you have a terrific time! Feel free to report back and let us know; we love hearing about others' trips 😊
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap absolutely. Will do👍👍
@@GPosner8 Safe travels!
Wow, I didn't realise how massive Yellowstone was! Having a picnic there sounds like a great idea. It's handy that there's an airport so close. Old Faithful geyser is so cool! Cool that over half the geysers in the world are located in Yellowstone. Yellowstone is one of the main places I'd love to visit in America, mainly for the wildlife.
Right?! You must come sooner than later and we will show you around! 😁
On your Yellowstone video when you were in Mammoth Hot Springs that in the early morning the Elks come down from hills and walk around the town. When we were there they just walked only feet in front of us. We were there in July and stayed at the hotel in Mammoth
Yes, it is kind of crazy to see how comfortable some of the wildlife are with us humans! That is a neat experience you had. What else did you enjoy about your Yellowstone trip? :-)
Great info! Thank you!
It is our pleasure! When are you going to Yellowstone? 😀
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Probably in the next couple years. :)
@@daisypeony66 Smart not to try to go this season...it is WAYYY too crowded! When you do get closer to going, feel free to ask us any questions--we are happy to help as we can. Take care! 😊
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Thank you so much! That is super cool of you! Blessed travels for y'all!
@@daisypeony66 Our pleasure! And thank you!
Thank you for the wonderful airport tips. I was traveling to that part of the country with my parents & sisters 30+ years ago. Now me & my husband are planning to go in May 2022. I like your idea of staying in different hotel to see different parts of Yellowstone & grand Teton. But the car rental drop off fee maybe high. So we may have to stick with flying to Salt Lake City and drive to both national parks. Also I remembered it was harder to cook meal due to high altitude
You are so welcome! You can still stay in different hotels/Airbnbs around the parks if you fly in and out of SLC... 😇 Yes, April and I are both originally from FL so we have had to adapt to cooking at the altitude we live at now here out west... What are you looking forward to most about your trip in May? 😀
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap we only have one week to spend. since my husband has not been to Yellowstone National Park, I think seeing the geysers & hot springs would be the things to do. I definitely want to spend 2 days in grand Teton area
@@lideelin We love the Grand Prismatic area, but that can get crowded. There is a hike that takes you to a viewpoint looking down on it, let me know if you want the name of the trail. 🙂 Oh, we love GTNP! Are you going to take the boat across Jenny Lake?
You roll clothes as well 👍 good information although we will not be going any further than Manhattan they have better internet connection. Thank you for the waterfalls 🌈🙏
Yes, haha. Oh, that is disappointing you won't be coming out west to visit the beauty of these states... 😇
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap only as far as NYC 🎥🙏🌈
april got her ice cream. :)
also, suggestion to do a whole episode just in virginia city montana. that place is awesome is easily traveled on the cheap
Yep! We do have a video on Nevada & Virginia Cities in Montana, silly... You need to do some serious catch-up on GTOTC!! 😜
It is a great video. Which entrance do you recommend for a first time visitor?
Thank you! That is a tricky question...it depends on where your accommodations are and how much driving you are fine with doing, how long you have to explore the park and what you parts of the park are at the top of your priority list... 😊 Will you be spending any time at GTNP as well? Let us know; we are happy to help as we can! 🙂
I am on the way in two weeks!
Terrific! What are you most looking forward to? Let us know if you have any questions... 😊
Do you know the trail name at the 6:50 mark? Or the stream location at 8:45? Loved your video! We’re planning on going in august, pending hubby’s quad tear recovery.
That trail is actually in GTNP 😉, Taggart Lake-Beaver Creek Loop...we have a video just on that in case you are interested. That stream is in GTNP also, if we are remembering correctly...don't recall where now though, sorry. Thank you so much for watching & commenting! 😊 We hope you get to visit in August, and we hope you'll have some time for the Tetons as well!
What that bear shot in the beginning, was that a wild bear? Packing tip is useful! I still think having comfortable shoes that gives you support and can walk for long hours on are more important than specific hiking boots, unless you really go for some rock climbing paths. Looks indeed as some good routes to drive on. Nah no entertainment is needed, the environment is your music. So I should probably come around spring time. Luckily you didn't go beyond the boardwalks.
Wild bear, yes. Support in shoes is important, but on so very many trails around these parts, you definitely need grip/traction. Spring or fall...our main priority is going when there are less tourists, hahaha. Lucky indeed! 😎
Nice tips and beautiful commentary. Thank you very much for this viedo. Planning to go in 2 weeks. would you please advise me how can i plan my 5 day trip there. WE are going to fly from LAX to Salt lake city and from there we are planning to drive. Would you please send me plan for 5 days. in yellow stone
We are happy to create a customized itinerary for 5 days; we charge $200 to do so... 😇 We can answer questions for you as well; let us know
Excellent tips! I will have to keep this in mind for future trips. I workout and walk a lot but my feet will (well one foot) will usually get tired after a while as it hasn’t been 100% after having surgery on it like 7 years ago.
Thank you! You haven't been to Yellowstone yet, is that right? How come you had to have surgery on your foot?
Lovely intro . 🌟⭐🌟
Hope you remember me
Thank you for watching our video
Great informative video. We are planning to go July 2022. I’m a bit worried about the crowds but this is the only time we can go due to our sons school schedules. Any advice to make our visit more tolerable? We already have our lodging.
Thank you so much! We suggest starting your park days before the sun rises, if you can. That way you can beat some of the crowds, and hopefully you can have some wildlife sightings. And be mentally prepared to sit in traffic...try to just go with the flow and adapt as needed. 😇 Will you be visiting Grand Teton National Park too?
We were planning on it but not sure at this point. It will make the trip more expensive so we may just stick with Yellowstone this time. What do you suggest?
We love GTNP, so if there is any way to squeeze it in, we HAVE to recommend it! And it should be less crowded there, which is one thing we really like about it. Is the financial concern with extending your time in the area? Perhaps you could just take one day of your present itinerary to drive down to GT...?
So nice! Very picturesque views. Btw I am watching you from Russia!.. but mudic is too loud...
Sorry about that; Wayne is constantly learning more & improving his editing skills...and this video is over 2 and a half years old now... 😇
Thank you for watching & commenting! We invite you to go watch more of our videos on our channel 🙂
Great Info. The only thing we disagree on is we love camping and staying inside the park. We have six kids and extra driving is difficult and we like to get to places early. We do move campgrounds every two days.
Thank you for watching! We are totally open to camping and/or staying in the park...we just usually visit more last-minute since we live relatively nearby, so usually inside the park places are all booked up. 😇 How far in the future do you usually make your camping reservations?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap literally the second it goes live a year in advance. It’s still better to have reservations than trying to fight for first come first serve like a few years ago.
@@nicolemyers4584 Gotcha. Yes, reservations are a good idea!
Military and veterans now get free entrance to the national parks too
Yes! Thought we included that in this video, but maybe that was our Tips for Grand Teton video... Thank you for watching! 😊
Anyone have opinions/tips on bringing tweens!? 4kids 2 adults, in April and I'm still planning and kind of stressing over it lol
First family trip without grandma and grandpa!!
We are guessing they will probably "hate on" the Junior Ranger Program (designed for up to 13 year olds), but we wonder if you make it more compelling--like with a daily reward or something--then perhaps they will get into doing it... Or you could tailor your own version of the program to their levels, like spying animals or different flowers--something like a scavenger hunt. Maybe they would enjoy doing a 'best picture of the day' competition--it could even have multiple categories.
Hopefully if they are experiencing nature like they have never experienced before, then they will be open to having a pleasant time and good attitudes. 😊 Perhaps if they know going in that there will likely be traffic delays and/or crowds and that y'all might have to defer to a plan B for a few hours, that could help them be prepared to adjust better..?
Feel free to ask us any more questions; we are happy to help if we can! 😇
So like, what are the logistics? How far are the airports when you arrive? Are there rental car companies? How far away are the hotels? Are there grocery stores or should I fly with some food to save money? It seems like you just drive around and stop somewhere then start hiking?
Sorry, lots of questions. I have never been to a big national park. From Iowa, so driving isnt really an option.
We are happy to help as we can... Our first suggestion is to please go watch our video all the way through again. 😇 We specifically talk about each nearby airport and hopefully that will help you decide which is the best option for you. There should be rental car companies either at or near each airport. Rental car prices are not great right now, just to give you fair warning. 😎 (If you are curious as to why, feel free to ask and we'll explain.) We also specifically talk about some different cities/towns as far as lodging goes. You will be able to buy groceries in the city/town you stay in; we simply try to point out that if possible, you want to get a cooler and purchase your food/meal supplies before entering the park, so that you can picnic or at least one of your meals, since the park is so large and there can be traffic delays because of so many people and/or animal sightings. You can see some of Yellowstone by car, some by walking the boardwalks and even more by hiking...plus there are other activities in and near the park.
Please feel free to write down some questions while watching our video again, then you can reply to us here with more questions, or you are welcome to find us via Facebook. 😊 When are you thinking about visiting Yellowstone? We've heard things have been really hot & dry for y'all there in Iowa too, like us here in Utah...?
What’s the song at the beginning?
Sorry for the delay; we recently returned from traveling & filming internationally... 😇
The song is called Lucky Day (feat. G Curtis) by Loving Caliber
Can you post some links of places to stay at a reasonable price during the entire trip?
We always like to look at Airbnb and Bookingdotcom in nearby towns... We also have a team of travel agents that would be more than happy to build a custom itinerary for you; let us know if you are interested 😇
Also, it is illegal in Yellowstone to leave your pets alone in a car while you are hiking or touring. VERY DANGEROUS ON HOT DAYS!
For sure! Thank you for chiming in and for watching our video 🙂
What's the rules ith flying drones?
There are a lot of rules with flying drones.
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap are you allowed to fly them in national parks?
@@MyOwnUTube1 No, you are not allowed to fly them in national parks. Our footage here is outside the park boundaries.
How much is the annual pass ? Thank you!
It is $80...different options/prices though for military, seniors, ADA accessible, volunteer, etc. When do you get to visit Yellowstone? 😀
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Actually I'm working there this summer but I wanted a pass. Lol I have a collection of Park passes my latest one is in South Carolina. So with this pass I can enter the park for free?
@@trailblazer8489 Cool! That is the cost for the America the Beautiful pass, which gets you into every national park & monument for a year... Just the Yellowstone Annual Pass is $70... Both will allow you to enter the park for free 🙂
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Thank you for this information!!!!!!
@@trailblazer8489 Sure thing; we're happy to help!
Didn't Yellowstone flood and is closed indefinitely
Yellowstone is partially reopened now and they are using an license plate even/odd number system for entry, meaning if your license plate ends in an even number, you can enter on an even numbered day and the same for odd numbers :)
Better without the music.
Thanks for the feedback; music is the hardest part of a video edit, as it is such a subjective thing from person to person. 😇 Thank you for watching!
I’m in Iland park right now. There are large numbers of wreckless drivers in the park and driving in the park at all is extremely dangerous. I say because of this Yellowstone is not worth visiting at all.
That is very unfortunate to hear... This season is so insanely crowded, we would not want to be there! Was there any bit of a positive about your time at Yellowstone?
Thank you for watching our video 😊
