- Steve Fuller is the Winter Caretaker of Yellowstone National Park - one of just a handful of hearty souls who remain in the wilderness long after the summer tourists have gone. He's stuck out the solitary existence of the position for 42 years, ever since the winter of 1973. Lee Cowan reports.
My mother died almost 40 years ago but she went to Yellowstone in her early 20s and while, I have never been there, My memories of my mother is that she talked about Yellowstone the entire rest of her life and what an incredible place it was. Great video!
I re-watch this about once a year. Extraordinary.
I remember saving a Nat Geo Magazine from those early years with an article about Steve and his family which I read and reread. My husband and I were close in age and I sooo wished we could do that! Steve has indeed been fortunate, but he is also fully aware of that, and grateful. And he is doing such a wonderful job of sharing the beauty! Thanks you , Steve!
I will agree
Thanks I remember watching this on its broadcast Sunday morning. We always watched before church.
How does one feel lonely with a magnificent view? Wow, I'd trade places in a heartbeat!
Yellowstone is magical. If I were him, I'd never retire.
Damn. Yellowstone is on my bucket list.
He's living the dream!
You can never be bored when you're able to escape into the pages of a good book.
I am so envious. What a wonderful way to live and spend your life.
Awesome!! It’s now January 2024,
please do a “follow up” on Steven & the National Park!! Even though, I just watched the documentary on Steven in the National Park. We need a very indept interview with him & exactly what he’s going to do if he retires!! I suggested he create several large Coffee Table Photo Books!! The few photos he shared, so far, are beyond spectacular!! We need another video record of his life, work, & future hopes for himself & his beloved Yellow Stone National Park! There needs to be an amazing BRONZE statue of Steven, along with an incredible tribute to his dedication of his entire adult life to his career as a Caretaker & Historian!! What an incredible man!!
There is a new episode on him from The Guarian newspaper on TH-cam
Such beautiful scenery.
I am so happy and envious that you found your calling so early in life and got to enjoy it for so many years. I have been applying for several years to no avail.
only the rocks live forever
Oh, what a delightful man!
What a wonderful Job! At a truly wonderful Park!
How can anyone be lonely in solitude?
It is so soothing to one's soul to be surrounded by nature.
Lucky man..
Years ago we visited Yellowstone & my wife being a nurse inquired if there was a health facility...
There was...
We stopped in & spoke with them & they encouraged my wife to apply .
Seems nurses were very hard to keep ..
So we took a more serious look into moving to the park..
I was told I would be given a job doing park maintenance .
Our girls were young , 7 & 8 & so were my wife & I...
But in the end , I just could'nt come to terms with the pay..
I had recently finished my engineering studies & consequently landed a high paying job...
Looking back I wish we had tried it for a couple yrs...
My wife loved the park & particularly the winter...
As for the solitude , it would'nt suited my wife very well...
I didnt mind the solitude at all , but I worried my girls would miss out on socializing with kids their age ..
That was 30 yrs ago ..
If I could live in the park today I would jump at the chance..
Im getting up in years but my health is great & I think I would love the experience.
Love this!
Such a beautiful episode. Spectacular viewpoints inside out for this caretaker.
Hope he releases a book with all the cool pictures he took during his career.
That was lovely, he found his path and walks it, hope he's working on a book chronicling his experiences in a most amazing place
He is incredible.And lucky as he**.
As always ks.
I wish we had a world were more of us realized this soon in our lives, away from the corporate slavery, what a better way to live than to live like we were meant to be. And that while nurturing a wonderful family. We would be better human, the planet would be more livable, and there would probably be more peace. I hope his vision and life makes it to children's books so every kid can learn about this form of life, early on.
Outstanding video!
What a beautiful place!
Traveling to Yellowstone 1/1/16- I'm going to keep an eye out for Steve for sure!

You have too really enjoy your own company to live out the winter like that.
Most artists do...it’s humans that are the problem.
Want to go to Yellowstone before Idie.
Is he still going strong in 2020?
Sure is, this marks his 48th year.
Someday they will have heated roofs to clear the snow
The perfect job doesn't exi-
Story doesn't say how many people are employed in the winter. Is he a Park Service employee or?
He is.

can a person live on a National Forest
Patrick Tuttle no only on special occasions
That woman in the Walden commercial says the instructors are real people--unlike instructors at other schools--ya know, the ones that aren't overpriced diploma mills?
Hopefully he isn’t working for xanterra. If so he still gets paid 13$ a day lol
