- Head waters of the Yellowstone River
Episode 2
Finding the upper head waters of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming on horseback. This journey will take us through the Bridger Teton & Shoshone Wildernesses. Up and over Deer Creek Pass down into the Thoroughfare Drainage to the Yellowstone River and Bridger Lake. Then up the river to the head waters where water starts on the mighty Yellowstone River. Then we will travel across the Buffalo Plateau and down Marston Pass to the South Fork of the Shoshone River, and travel out along the Canyons of the Shoshone River that Buffalo Bill help build in the 1880s
This will be a 3 episode video to show the massive journey it took to reach the head waters of the Yellowstone River where water starts and journey back. I tried to make a short version video of this journey but could not. It was just too wild, too big, and too grand of a landscape. So please watch all three episodes and enjoy this trip or Journey, to find the head waters of the Yellowstone River as we did.
We traveled by horseback over 3 mountain passes, three water sheds like the Yellowstone River that lead to the Missouri River. Head waters of the Snake River to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also the Shoshone River that continues down to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We traveled by horseback 126 miles in some of the wildest county in the lower 48 starts. Enjoy our journey on the biggest screen you have.
Please comment and share your feedback with us. We would love to hear from you.
Be sure to like and share if you enjoyed this video. and above all thanks for tuning in. More wilderness horseback trips to come.
Stay curious and explore
Special thanks to Lee, Hunter and Alex of Livingstone outfitters in Cody Wyoming for there help in making this trip happen (307)899-3057
My great great grandfather's brother was Harry Yount, whom Yount's Peak is named after. I have always been curious about what the area around the mountain looked like and have considered backpacking into it. You have given me a front-row seat to the trail. Thank you. It's a beautiful video.
If you get the chance definitely go and Summit Younts, it’s spectacular. I’d recommend backpacking in from Brooks Lake and heading up over Bonneville Pass onto the Buffalo Plateau and over and up to Younts. That is absolutely wild and beautiful country up there. You will not regret it.
you should go it is beautiful up there one way or another you should go
Hey. I used to know Don Yount in Boise Idaho, back 40 yrs. Related? Buckskining days then. . .
I am a history and genealogy nut. Glad to see someone research they're ancestors. If my memory is correct your grandfather left Missouri for the California gold rush and became a successful businessman.
So cool that the horses get to run free and will come back when you call them like a pet dog 👏
yes it is
that so demonstrates the magic relationship you have with these stunning horses and mules!!
Thank you for taking us along. Beautiful scenery, excellant photography.
thanks
I rarely watch all of longer videos. But, I watch every minute of yours. Great camera and editing skills. “Pilgrim, can you skin grizz”? Sure glad that critter didn’t cause you trouble. “When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree; or I’ll begin to wander and soon you know where I will be.” Sure appreciate you sharing this great adventure. Wow!
you bet Bob episode 3 coming soon
This is great quality video. No music, narration at proper timing, great views. Love the raw sound of hike, horses and nature. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!

What absolutely gorgeous photography. I literally felt like I was riding the horse.
good to hear
Man oh man oh man this is awesome, you go from the falls to the headwaters and look at the wilderness it's absolutely gorgeous back there just absolutely gorgeous and that's the way to do it horseback always horseback
I love the timeless quality of your wilderness rides. The trails you take through magnificent landscapes and the mix of video & photography make compelling viewing. I think I have now caught up with your back catalogue after finding the first Yellowstone headwaters video and have enjoyed everyone. Thank you for sharing your adventures. I look forward to the next one. Dusty trails to you all from over the pond.
Thanks for your comments nice to hear
WOW, I am impressed with the size of the Yellowstone river, where it begins.
Who would think that small Creek Looking River would end up being as big as the Yellowstone River we all see on videos and in pictures!!!!
Thank You, for sharing your ride with us!!!!
glad you enjoyed it watch for Episode 3
@@cowdogflicks We will!!!
I'm amazed at how stable the horses are. I suppose some of the excitement is edited out but those trails get really rough and the thunder and all. Beautiful video. What a country!
Gopro 11 is very stable camera thanks for your comments
You guys and gals do a wonderful job showing us the beautiful mountains, streams and river's on this trek to the headwaters of the Yellowstone River.
I thought I knew something about the Yellowstone. I thought it began where the river comes out of the lake at fishing bridge. I didn't know it was also on the south side of the lake too! Now I have a new adventure to go find!
sounds good
Wonderful scenery, very well filmed and communicated
thanks more to come
Pretty awesome, peaceful, wonderful territory.
thanks
Mmm ❤ ' the sound !
Packing salt to the cattle up in the Dragoon Mts of AZ. Good days ' Good memories.
Thanks for ghe video
Thank you for these videos! I traveled that same trail in 1978, going the opposite direction. The first time I shod a horse was at that big campsite where the Thorofare meets the Yellowstone, someone had packed in an anvil and left it there. Wonderful memories! Nothing like a thunderstorm up high. Loved watching you folks throw your hitches, well done on the video production as well!
thanks for your comments we should talk someday

I'm in awe about how the horses come when called.
that is great it helps to have some grain waiting for them
I was working as a farrier , at Rosevelt camp back in the mid 70’s . Never got to see more than a small area around Hell Roaring Creek . I’ve enjoyed watching all you videos . This makes me want to come and see more ! Truly a spectacular place on earth .

The Wild West. Beautiful. Wish I could see it all for myself. Wish I could live there far away from people without a care or worry about anything. Just BEING in it all, at peace, blissful. What a dream. Maybe in the ages to come when the Lord returns. 🥰

Purty country! I’m a light sleeper so not sure how much sleep I would get with those bells ringing all night!😊

Very appreciative of a video of the back-country without background music so you can hear the birds and horse's shoes on the rocks and sound of the streams and the quietness of the wilderness. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it

Man that would be a dream come true.
it was for us thanks for your comment
Thanks for sharing! Awesome job filming!
glad you enjoyed
Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us! I can recall the ancient feeling of the Yellowstone Park and that was the area the tourists visit. The one thing I noticed about this series is the lack of wildlife. Do you think it's because of the wildfires or because they can hear the mule trains long before you would see any? Thank you so much for posting ;) rides of a lifetime for sure!
Thanks for the trip
It was wish you were there it would be like oid times next year
Looks like a great trip. Wish I was riding along for this.

Fantastic video - I had to pull out my maps and try to follow along with you. I spent several years packing in and out of Western Montana/Northern Colorado. Great series!!
Glad you enjoyed it! it would be great to cross our paths
@@cowdogflicks Sadly we are living the 'city life' right now and down to 1 horse. But we're hoping to get another and spend more time in the backcountry one day. My husband grew up in the Cascade Mountains on horseback so it's something we both enjoy and miss!!!
Wow so great. Thank you for beautiful video from fiji lsland
Thank you too
Thanks for the video. Great pictures of the Thorofare and Younts Peak. I'm a history nut, so I am a fan of the pioneers like Harry Yount. His story would make a good movie. Cooked a steak below the Pinnacles with my grandson and sat there and wondered what was on the other side. Now I know.
Glad you enjoyed it! I did get a comment from Harry Younts great great grandson He had never seen the peak the Pinnacles are a great place to
Great!
Good to hear
What a great way to see a beautiful country. Better watch out for that young lady or you all may end up working for her. Take care, Al
you are right but it was fun
Thank you for this beautiful trip it so good.. all of it,, hunting and fishing all my life is what I've done just being out there is what its all about ,thank the Good Lord for making it for us all, take care be safe and God Bless you all,
Glad you enjoyed it
Your best work yet, Cowboy
thanks for your comment
Great video s and camera shots

Muy bonito 🙏✌️
thanks for watching
I love that song ,however Lee Marvin does it alittle more justice! Enjoyed the video. I can't wait for the snow to melt so I can get my donks back into the high country of Idaho.
a long day and some whisky help Jeff do some singing next year more ridding
Thank you...
You're welcome!
This is wonderful wondering what some of the wildlife sounds are I'm from Australia
Great job keep going
we will thaks for your comments
Was so surprised at the lack of wildlife you came across, or did you just not show it? Nevertheless the views the sounds of birds, water, and hoof beats was fantastic. Love this series!
glad you enjoyed more to come this winter
Did you see wildlife (Elk Deer sheep, bears ) I heard some geese in doom of the footage .Thank for the Adventure!
Jeff

I'm home sick for this place. I'm going back one day.
You should! and have fun
I want Alex’s mule call as my ring tone.
Your next trip should be to California to show them in Hollywood how to run a camera. Thanks for the video.
That would be cool! thanks for your comment
Wanderin star good choice I was born like that myself
glad you liked it
Amazing journey. Thanks for sharing it. How long have the worn paths you have followed, been there along the way ?
glad you enjoyed some of those trails Buffalo Bill made
Simply amazing, I enjoyed it a lot! BTW, can you describe, please, why you don't free up horses as soon as you get to the camp, to give them more time to feed up? It looks like, you were doing it when it gets dark, and through the night. Would they be roaming too far from you during the day light, or something else matters? Thanks!
No horses know a habit and they want it that way it also gives them time to cool down
