YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (2023) | Best Things To Do In Yellowstone + Travel Tips
Yellowstone National Park is a huge area. It spans almost 3,500 miles or 5,600 km across the state of Wyoming, and extends into parts of both Montana and Idaho. Established in 1872, it’s America’s first national park and to this day it also remains one of the largest and most popular ones in the country. In fact, Yellowstone sits on top of a dormant volcano and is home to more hydrothermal features than anywhere else on earth. On top of that, the park is home to diverse landscapes and activities. From lush valleys with an abundance of wildlife, to spectacular canyons and waterfalls you can hike to, deep lakes, and rivers for fishing.

I have been to Yellowstone twice and I promise you it is not overrated. I am planning to go back again in summer of 2025 and this time bring my family to share the experience 💙 thank you for this video! It brought back wonderful memories!
I’m from the UK and planning a road trip from Chicago > San via Yellowstone, so this was really helpful! I was a bit surprised when people recommended camping with bears around! 😂 Thanks so much for taking the time to produce and share this! 🙌🏼
Fun hiking area.
Thanks a lot, guys. 😊
So nice! Very picturesque views. Btw I am watching you from Russia!
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Amazing
It is undoubtedly a majestic place. I love planet Earth and it is not my intention to offend anyone. If not, talk about a sad feeling I have. I feel that very soon a catastrophe may begin there, in that paradise. It makes me very sad and I need to know if anyone resonates more with this. I read about a prediction for 2023 and the visions I had told me that very soon there will be volcanic activity there. I pray to God that this is not the case and that he protects every living being in that area and the entire world of course. If anyone resonates with this or has more information please let me know. Thank you very much and I send you a hug of light ✨🌎🌱🙌✨
Great work
Awesome thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! ☺️
That was a wonderful video - thank you so much. I'm going this coming May! 4 glorious nights and I just cannot wait. I really appreciate all those tips!
Nice! enjoy your trip!
I hope to visit Yellowstone National Park in the future. very beautiful scenics.
You definitely should!
Thanks a lot for this video. I‘m from Germany and will visit Yellowstone at the end of August and this video helped me a lot preparing and planning this trip.
Hope you had a great trip!
enjoyed your video! Yellowstone is one of my favorite places to visit. I try to get there al least once a year. Great place to make videos and take photos.
Yellowstone is such a unique national park! That’s awesome that you’re able to visit once per year 👍
Great information, been there 2 times years ago, but didn't know that there is so much to see. Looking forward to visiting again knowing all the great things to see. Thank you for all the information!!
Thank you! The park is huuuuge. so much more to do!
High production value and very informative! Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 😍
Very helpful. Thank you. Im driving to south dakota and wyoming from San Francisco ca. august the 10th .cant wait.
Have a great trip! That’s a long drive haha ☺️
NICE VIDEO!!!!
Thank you! ☺️
Somehow I didn't get to the oldest NP In the world so thank you for all that info. It will be much easier to plan a trip now !
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much!! I’m researching Yellowstone for my GCSEs and I find it one of the most fascinating places in the world! This video really helped me, thank you again :)
Yes this place is so fascinating
Very descriptive video Easy to follow and entertaining
Thanks!
Glaad it was helpful! Enjoy!
Great video it has inspired me to go here
Thanks! Add it to your bucket list! 👍
There is a company that does bear spray rentals in the park too! They have a lot of locations and it is super convenient if you’re going for a shorter time ($16 for our 2 days!)
Good advice! Thanks
Great video! What time of year did you guys go?
Mid-June! 😄😅
Hi there, what camera did you use to make this delightful video?Thank you👍🌺
Canon EOS 80D and go pro hero 10
Great video, may i know How much time it took to cover all these 10 places ?
At least 4 days! But Lamar Valley is big so you can easily spend lots of time there
I’m three day ago Yellowstone looking Amazing place
Yeah it’s amazing 😍
Thank you so much Do we need a national park pass to enter? how many days needed to spend to explore all of these?
Yes you do!
Will be there next week, can't wait! How many days did you guys need to see all those attractions.
We spent about 5-6 days in the park! 😄
I managed to visit quite a few of the amazing national parks in the US a few years back. Well prior to our own KZhead "career". I still never managed to visit Yellowstone. It is still very high up on our list and the title picture already captures why...
It is 100% worth it, I only have a few recommendations. A: Go either early in the visitor year (May) or late in the year (Very late August - Early September). The Later option is in my opinion is better even though there may be more crowds because it won't be as snowy and there tends to be more geyser/animal activity. Also, while there I would recommend going to every location you can find that may be interesting because those will likely be the most magical moments. Finally, and most importantly, you will FOR SURE want to spend far more time at each location than you would usually think. For example I would recommend 1 full day for Old faithful and the boardwalks around it ALONE. This is because the people who run through it tend to see relatively few things because a lot of the geysers only erupt once per day.
@@castamere3368 Thank you for the tips. I am quite sure taking more time expected is quite true for so many places. In Iceland, where we got to experience a geysir, luckily it erupts once every three minutes or so. So you can actuallay stay and watch many of them. But in total, the time was always a limiting factor and we wished we could have explored more.
It's definitely worth it! If you enjoyed Iceland, you'll be blown away by Yellowstone as well! 😊
Cool
If you like the yellowstone national park, do yourself a favor and go to the Kruger National Park in South Africa you cannot compare it and you will be hooked forever trust me, 👏🏻👍🏻🇿🇦
What month did you guys go? And is there a month you'd recommend
We went mid-June and it was still pretty damn cold (and rainy most of the time!). We'd recommend July or August, though it does get very crowded... September and the beginning of October might be good too..
Do you think you should go with a travel guide company or is this somewhere u can adventure by yourself?
Definitely adventure by yourself! the parks will give you all the info and map that you need. The park is huge so you can really just pick your favorites!
What phone service providers work in Yellowstone National Park? I have T-Mobile, wondering if I should switch providers before. I come. I’ve heard Verizon is the best in that area. Any info would def help, thanks!
We had no service for the days we were there. There also wasn’t any WiFi available unless you stay in a hotel. We had T Mobile though, so not sure about Verizon. The area is huge, very remote and wild so not sure 😅
@@worldwildhearts appreciate it!
We are planning to go next month, May 24th to 28th. How would be the weather? Crowd?
Hard to say what the weather will be like! We visited in June and had a mix of mostly rainy days and a bit of sunny days. There are definitely crowds, mainly around the main attractions like the Old Faithful geyser. But the park is really immense so you can easily spread out to other parts of the park where you won't have crowds
How do u get around the park. Do u drive and all sights are short walks to get to?? And can u see everything in 1 day my friend
Definitely drive! This park is huuuuuge. All attractions are far away. Would suggest 3-4 days in the park if you can. In 1 day you can see some of the highlights
Does west yellowstone outside the park have cell internet service?
Yes outside the park is fine! Just not anywhere inside
@@worldwildhearts im driving up to yellow stone from salt lake city Utah, but im not originally from Utah. do you know if i will have internet service on my phone the whole trip out there? im using it as a gps device and do not wanna get lost. btw i have xfinity mobile service, i believe it runs on Verizon.
@@dscuffman7679be prepared with paper maps and to have LONG stretches without cell or WIFI.
What month did you visit Yellowstone in this video? 🔥❤️
It was around early June!
Can anyone tell me if May is a rainy month?
Really depends on the year! We were there in June and it rained a lot
when you relised that there's a supervolcano under the yellowstone geyser..
Hahah yeah kinda crazy to think!!
Yes but... what if it erupts..?
@@ApelJuiceAKABosniaman if it errupts.... NOTHING will matter... lol!
When is the best time to visit
Right now! We were there at the beginning of June and it was still pretty cold and rainy. Right now the temperature should be great but expect more crowds. September is also still a good time
This is, of course, a matter of opinion, but I've always loved the park in the middle of winter. Far less people... I live just north of the park.
If your only had a couple days, what would you do?
I would choose a few of the geyser basins (including old faithful and Norris), the Grand Canyon, Lamar Valley, and the Grand Prismatic overlook
And the best entrances are the North and Northeast,trust me.
I bet they are so much quieter!
whereis Dutton's family?
I WANT to be friends with you two is this possible! :)
Haha of course! ;)
3:19 how rude! 🥴
Lol he’s just having an itch!
3:19 My guy seriously had an itchy butt
🤣🤣
个гей
Movie act history whack
Don't want to spoil the party, but Yellowstone is very over rated.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think you did a nice job overall although I learned nothing
I can’t wait that this baby kaboom!
If you live within 1000 miles of the YS Suoer Volcano, you may be sorry.
@@joinjen3854 actually I am very far far from USA
@@joinjen3854 1000 miles?? If the super volcano goes, it will be a global disaster.... if you live within 1000 miles, you may be thankful... food for thought I suppose...
@chrisharmon8171 the entire property of YNP is the caldera of the volcano, plus some of Idaho and Montana as well. YNP is primarily in Wyoming.
@@joinjen3854 Yep... I live just north of the park... Just saying that when the caldera goes again, it will have a world wide impact...
