Thank you. This is a beautiful lake that has no trails going to it. Also no trails on Yellowstone maps. I am guessing that some fly fishermen may go there some times but I have never seen anyone or seen people tracks.
Thank you Stan for showing us the depths of majestic Yellowstone National Park, a true pride for all Americans. I've done a lot of the hikes you did, and it is such a pleasure after 20-25 years to rediscover these places with the reverence you give to them.
Oh my , I’m expecting a grizzly around every corner😰. That was a beautiful big bear you saw!!! All the flowers and scenery are breathtaking! Thank you!
I enjoy watching your videos so much Stan, you allow us to see such beautiful scenery with no interuptions or talking to camera. You could feel the true spirit, the beauty, and the tranquility of such an awesome place. Like the lady said 'a beautiful day in paradise!' Thank you.
What a beautiful lake. Loved the sounds of nature an your steps. Nice grizzly am tracks. Really captured some nice views loved the hike, glad you saw the grizzly he was a beauty!! Thank you Stan.
Have you ever thought of writing a book? Your knowledge and experience with bears would make for a good read and would educate a lot of us in ways that would make it safer for us to be in bear country.
So true! It would be such a hit! Al the photos alone are so amazing! Stan goes by himself where others would not...always the chance of a grizzly behind the next rock or bush! The beautiful vastness of meadows and forests....paradise on earth! So far he has traversed safely with a good portion of luck thrown in, but there is no doubt his experience plays the largest part! The only thing I would ask Stan to do different if I had the power.... to make more videos! :)
Thank you Stan for your great videos. I’m re-watching your old ones waiting for your newest. Thanks to you we see parts of the Park and surrounding areas that some of us can’t go. Appreciate your videos very much!
Recent subscriber. I love all of your videos and your understated presentation style and beautiful photography. The videos are just outstanding. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.
Such a wonderful hike, very exciting - loved all the wildlife! Your drawings are absolutely beautiful, so real and fine, very sweet! Thank you so much for taking us along! I feel safe at my computer and I always hope you and your wife/family are safe too! This is very wild country and you are knowledgeable and courageous out there! Wow! I love this area and I get to see it with you! Thank you again!
Think I just set a new record for holding my breath! Your videos are so real I was choosing a rock to step on and ducking under limbs with you. Incredible journey, as always.
Stan I hope you keep a personal locator device on you at all times! My heart was pounding on this hike! Definitely God’s Country. Thanks for taking us there
Your drawings reflect the same quiet patience as do your cross country hikes. I'm proud that you take us along with you. So many TH-camrs claim to do "off the grid" living.....I would rather see someone hike thru grizzer country than to see someone build an outdoor outhouse.
Thankyou for theise hiking vlogs , I cannot go out like I use too , miss being in the mountains but you bring it to our homes , and thankyou with the sound of natural things not music . The running water sounds so good . The quietness of nature . So peacefull with the gentle sound of your feet hicking through what ever the landscape is .and all the wildlife you encounter .thankyou in utah
Well, Stan, that was the first of your videos I've watched, and it won't be the last. That was really well done and very peaceful, it makes me try to imagine how the whole west was before Lewis and Clark and the onslaught of the Mountain Man. "Paradise Lost", but yet, fortunately, a few traces remain.
Absolutely stunning! Sounds like you are walking through a lot of marshland ... no wonder you wear high boots. Once again, love the sounds of nature and, of course, running rivers and wildlife. Thank you very much.
Recently found your videos and they are a real treat as we quarantine here in hot and humid GA. I enjoy hiking alone off trail too and always feel lucky when seeing wild life. Spent the summer in Lamar Valley a couple years ago and you help bring it back. Many wonderful hours fishing up Slough Creek and fooling around the GYE. Especially appreciate the maps and letting the landscape do most of the talking, now I discover your drawing too! Keep on creating
Hi Jack, it is also hot here. I was actually hiking in the Lamar area yesterday. Started at the Lamar ranger station and hiked north to the top of Frederick Peak off-trail. You can look down into Slough creek from there. It got very hot on the way back down. With all that hiking I didn’t see any animals other than bison. I am sure all the bear are either in the shade somewhere or very far up in the backcountry.
Stan Mills Fond memories of volunteering at Buffalo Ranch, hiking up Druid Peak and over the River and up to Specimen Ridge...bubbling Rose Creek and howling wolves, cutthroats and cottonwoods. Walking in the wild is a great privilege, you’ve made it an art. enjoy
I wish I had your nerves doing this..I like to watch grizzly bears in YNP but I stay near my car. One morning I saw 10 (including cubs). When I watch this I get nervous...'Bears are where they find you'. Thanks for filming this.
Stan, have you ever thought about hiking with another person? I for one would really feel it an honor to go on one of these hikes with you. Hiking alone, I might add, is slightly akin to a death-wish in some of the areas you hike through. There is just a tad, just a tad, of unwise assumption on these hikes; that the grizzlies are not going to suddenly decide to be opportunistic for an easy meal. Never-the-less, I am at Yellowstone every year and would consider it an honor to hike alongside you. God bless
Stan, I have 40 acres up in Livingston Peak subdivision. If you ever want to hike on that, I’d give you a letter of permission. It’s a beautiful area. I’d sure love to see if there are any bears or other critters up there as I can’t get out there yet.
Every time I see a dark spot I worry “Stan’s a GONER!!” I’m deathly afraid of bears😢 I can’t believe you hike TRYING to find them! Stay safe, Stan🙏🤦♀️
Typically that's a great area for spotting silver tips, however elk have been scarce in that basin all summer. I think there just been to much human traffic for both species. The bears are higher up than 6600'. I was just over around Sugerloaf mountain last week spent a few days scouting for a client looking for his prized bird dog. Your a brave man Stan getting off trails in that area. I wouldn't recommend that type of adventure in known Ursus arctos hirribilis hunting grounds. I was curious but have you noticed the difference in color and shape of a lot of grizzley's now? I see two distinct species like there's a cross breed between inland Brown bears of Alaska and are old Sliver tips. Maybe my eyes are getting old. Some just look different to me.
I treat them like all the wonderful wildlife. Rattlesnakes always warn you when you get to close. I suppose if I actually stepped on one it would have the same reaction as a grizzly bear being stepped on. But I am moving slow and always looking so I have never had a problem with rattlesnakes.
@@StanMills I went Yellowstone back in the 60's as a child. My son went a few years ago. The West is very beautiful. Thanks for sharing so that those of us who'll probably never make it back there can still see it.
Great videos once again! In your opinion, what is the best off trail GPS unit to guide you on your hikes and then get you back to your starting point? Starting at a trailhead is nice, but not going to be fun if the lot is full of cars knowing the trail will be full of people. I like going off trail, but want the confidence with having a GPS unit and being able to return back either to the trail at some point in the journey or being able to navigate back to the trailhead completely off trail. Thanks!
What trail were you on at the beginning of the video? Your map drawing indicated at the beginning indicated you crossed Slough Creek prior to getting on whatever trail you were on. I'll be in YNP in October and plan to do this hike (but avoid the marsh on the north side of McBride Lake!). Thanks much Stan, I love your videos. I worked in YNP summer of 1975 and come back every Fall in Sept/Oct, this year for 6 weeks! I just retired. PS: Thanks too for providing information on the gear you use, especially the two cameras. I plan to check them out
Wonderful! As always, so much beauty to see on this hike, from the landscape to every animal and those beautiful flowers everywhere! Lovely artwork too, are those ink or watercolor?
“Where I could scare him”. Do you make your presence known so as not to scare him? Like when walking in dense cover or coming up a rise... I had an encounter coming up a rise with a large bolder blocking my view. Coulda reached down and touched him. Fortunately it was not a bear, but a buffalo in the woods. Coulda been a problem, but I didn’t let him know I saw him, never changing my gait. Other than a twitch of my presence, he remained still. On my return he rose at my sight and didn’t allow my passing. Always interesting to watch you explore parts of the park.
I love your videos of your hikes and I get that you want to take pictures of the bears, but I thought the safe way to hike in bear country was to make noise so they hear you coming and you don't come around a corner or rock and surprise them? I think in Alaska and B.C. Canada they tell you to wear bells and call out " hey bear" from time to time, for that reason?
he has said that he doesn’t do this because sometimes that brings bears to you and he doesnt want to disturb the wildlife. he says it would be like someone coming into your house and making a lot of noise, you wouldn’t like it so he doesn’t do it to the bears.
Another great video, thanks for sharing Stan. How did you mount your mic to your camera as the SX70 has no cold/hot shoe mount. Always look forward to your videos!
Hi Stan, I normally camp at Slough Creek or one of the campgrounds in the north part of the park, but all are closed, and it doesn't look like any of these will open up by the end of the season. Any recommendations as to other campgrounds or camping spots near to the north half of the park outside the park boundaries? Like you, I prefer to hike in the northern half of the park (planning for September).
Is there any way you could please tell me if those boots are 100% water proof , the brand name and where to buy them. I am learning and enjoying a lot from your professional videos. Thanks!!!.
Please look at my amazon links in the description of my last video. I use the non-insulated Kenetrek Mountain Guide and Mountain Extreme. They are waterproof unless the water comes over the top of the boot.
I enjoy your videos. I thought the Park service recommends making noise so as not to surprise a bear and trigger an attack. Why do you keep so quiet? Is it so you can get good footage for your videos? Again, my family and I enjoy your content.
I keep quiet so I do not get attacked. I also like to see the wildlife including bears. I hike in peace in God’s creation and respect all the wildlife. Thanks for your comments.
LB, I always have 2 cans of bear spray. I have never had to use it. I never do anything to make a bear want to attack me. But I do have very close encounters every year. There are a lot of grizzly bears and black bears out there so if you hike as much as me then it is just going to happen no matter how careful you are. But my armor and protection is the Lords faithful promises. Thank you for your comments.
I’ve hiked with my husband in some remote places in AK, and it is really hard to relax and just enjoy the beauty. That’s why I love watching Mr. Mill’s hikes.
I can’t imagine trying to sleep in a tent in grizzly country. I have no desire at all. Thank you, Stan, for your beautiful videos. I feel like I am there with you, sounds and all. But no fear! Just the way I like it!
deancj1 He’s breaking every rule. Hiking with less than four, being quiet, going off-trail.... l love his videos but a high percentage of folks who get charged, mauled, or killed have been photographers, always looking for the elusive shot.
deancj1 Yes, he’s very knowledgeable about bears and his beautiful vids allow me virtually hike with him. I just don’t want would-be tourists to think this is the way to look for bears. We’ve been glassing and scoping for grizzlies every summer since 1994 and would have to say the average Joe Public is becoming less and less aware of how to behave in the wild and around wildlife. I look forward to his next video!
Do you ever worry about being CHOMPED on by a Grizzly?? You know that eventually it could happen. You are Brave and I love your videos but it makes me nervous just watching and thinking about it.
great video but saying u have to move quietly and carefully in an area known for grizzly bears is irresponsible....u scare a grizzly out in the middle of nowhere u might be their next meal..however, if u are a grizzly expert or u do this all the time that might be different...seeing the eagle was just majestic
Brian, you say “if u are a grizzly expert or u do this all the time that might be different”. Have you been to my TH-cam channel? I don’t claim to be an expert at anything but I hope I show experience by my body of work. Thank you for your comment.
I love how you respect all the wildlife like you’re in their living room
Love this one, Stan! Thank you for sharing. August there is gorgeous.

The Good Lord is the master of all landscapers, and you take us to His massive gardens. Thanks for doing so.
William, the whole huge universe out there is also his garden. Meditate on that and see what kind of revelations will come to you.
Amen!

Well, that certainly settles it: I need to trek on up to McBride Lake! Another great shoot Stan. Inspirational! (As is your art work....). p&W
Thank you so much sir for your stunning videos!

I love when you see the riders.
Thank you
Enjoying your adventures from Abu Dhabi, UAE ...
Another great one Stan.
Outstanding!!! How beautiful , this priceless piece of art!!! Thank you, sir!
Wonderful paradise and great calm style of filming. In Finland`s national parks, i have never saw brown bear. Bears are so wary in here.

So peaceful
What breathtaking beauty all around. I'm curious, do you ever have to watch for any poisonous snakes on these summer hikes?

Seen Giz there in 2015 from the road
Another great video, thanks for sharing Stan. How did you mount your mic to your camera as the SX70 has no cold/hot shoe mount. Always look forward to your videos!
Just buy a cold shoe and use epoxy. Thanks
thanks for taking the time to reply. K
Stan: I love your videos. Do you ever consider hiking/videoing the Tetons? Or would it not match the beauty of the Yellowstone videos you create?
I have not yet only because of travel distance. I have been there a few times though and it is beautiful.

Please look at my amazon links in the description of my last video. I use the non-insulated Kenetrek Mountain Guide and Mountain Extreme. They are waterproof unless the water comes over the top of the boot.

It's difficult to emphasize just how much I HATE hiking through boggy areas. Better you than me !!!
Stan, are you a fly fisherman? Nice drawings.
There were some HUGE fish jumping in that lake. But I don’t fish. I do watch them swimming down in the water though.
Beautiful area but there is no way in hell I would hike alone in grizzly territory

Never went there..something !?!
A lot of water for Aug.
Why are you moving quietly? To protect yourself, and the bear, we were taught to make plenty of noise, to give him a heads-up, so to speak.
Stan wants to see them
