Best coverage of Yellowstone by far. Didn't even know about the cowboy cookout. TH-cam Algorithum needs major improvement.
Thanks so much! We love finding events like the cookout! Particularly when it combines an activity AND dining, lol. Honestly, the best way to help more people see episodes like this is to share on your socials, comment like you're doing and just enjoy it! The longer people watch is one of the major indicators to TH-cam of the quality of the video. 👍 -Howard
This is the best video I’ve seen on Yellowstone by FAR! We sadly only spent one day in the park a couple of years ago - really want to go back! Yellowstone is so incredible. Your desserts looked pretty incredible too 😋 The boat story was fascinating!
Thanks so much! This was a big video for us, both in length and also the prep required to share the experience of Yellowstone. It means the world to hear kind words like that! 👍 -Howard
We only spent one full day in Yellowstone on our way to Utah last May. We knew that wasn’t enough. Your video has inspired us to go back for a week next year.
That sounds like a GREAT idea! Lots to see and do at Yellowstone. Glad you're on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
I have to thank you so much for making a plug for people staying in their car around the bison. As somebody who was born and raised in Montana and still lives here, we have way too many “tourons” that disrespect our national parks, thinking that they can get within a couple feet of one of these majestic animals to get a photo or even provoke them, and the disrespect really enrages the locals let alone how rude it is to the animals on their turf. Thank you so much for what you both do, you’re exemplary tourists and storytellers! ❤❤❤
Thanks, Sasha! It means a lot to hear that from a local, we really appreciate it! Sadly, the "touron" situation is getting worse, not better, but we always try our best to politely remind future visitors of safety, courtesy, local customs, etc. Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
Great video!
I am a Ranger at Tower.
Your description and information was terrific.
I learned some things I didn't know after 11 summers in the Park.
Thanks for coming and visiting us.
Wow, thanks so much! It means a lot to hear such kind words from someone who lives and works there. Guess it goes to show that every visit you can explore something new! Thanks again and hope you'll continue on the journey with us. 👍 -Howard
In 1988 there was a huge wildfire in Yellowstone. An fireline explosives crew saved the Lodge from the flames. I worked on wildfires for over 30 years and have been qualified for many positions. I served on the Fireline Explosives Crew.
Katelyn, your journalism skills are second to none. Between you and Howard, you cover it all with just the right amount of history and tidbits. I'm glad you guys made it up to Red Rock Overlook to see the geothermal colors of Grand Prismatic. My mouth was watering seeing the good eats you had from Yellowstone restaurants and Old West Diner, they fed you like a King and Queen. However, hands down, my favorite part was watching your expression when you were talking about the mud springs. It was hilarious!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot to us. ❤ Fun fact, I was a news reporter and have a degree in journalism. Howard was a cinematographer in Hollywood. 😉So we have a little experience! Haha. Oh yes! The food in Yellowstone is incredible. We ate good during that trip. LOL - I love those mud pots! They are so cool! ❤😍 -Katelyn
I’m at Yellowstone as I watch this. 😃
Apologies for the delayed reply, how was Yellowstone?! What were highlights from your trip? -Howard
Excellent representation of the park! I was great to meet you two, and thank you for including the marina and boat tour in your story!
Capt. Ken
Captain Ken, thank you so much for your fantastic tour! It means the world to us that you would say such kind words, and we hope we can cross paths again in the future. 👍 -Howard
Wow! What an absolutely fantastic video! I actually worked at Yellowstone (for Xanterra/HR) back in 2014/2015, living up in Gardiner, MT. I got to explore a different area of the park every weekend. What an incredible experience it was for me! So much incredible beauty and awesome national wonders! Thanks again for sharing this great adventure with your followers! Cheers!
Oops! "Natural" wonders, not national! Haha!
Larry, that must have been quite the experience working in the park! This was our second visit to Yellowstone, and we still have areas of the park left to explore. Any off the beaten path spots you'd like to share? Thanks for watching and hope you'll continue on the journey with us! 👍 -Howard
FYI, I am retired from American Airlines, so travel has been my main passion for decades. I've lived in DC, Miami, Dallas, LA and NYC/LI during my career...definitely learning more about life through all of this experience than in my entire college years! I also spent two years working at the Grand Canyon as well. I've been following your channel since you were down in Mexico, and adopted Scout. It has been a wonderfully entertaining time following all of your various travel adventures, especially all of the US national parks. Thanks very much for all of your time and effort. Finally, I live in Lancaster, PA, so if you are ever back in this area, please do not hesitate to reach out...dinner will be my treat! Cheers for now! Have fun!!!
Wow, Larry, you've definitely been with us since the beginning, thank you so much! Hopefully in the new year we'll be in your area, we'd love to meetup. 👍 -Howard
We were there a few weeks ago and we saw that Osprey nest. It was so cool to see. It was our third time at Yellowstone. One of our favorite parks.
Yes, it was one of the highlights for us, too! Absolutely love seeing so much wildlife up close at Yellowstone. 👍 -Howard
That was fascinating to see and listen to - such an absolutely incredible Park. It's a very "busy" Park in more ways than one with all that gurgling, spewing, and splattering going on lol. Thanks so much for sharing and now I have to go get something to eat because that luscious food had me salivating. Take care!
Thanks, Lis! Definitely understand with all the delicious food. It's a part of the parks experience that many people don't consider and we of course love to eat! 😂👍 -Howard
Just found this channel can’t wait to watch all the national park vids as they go along!
Glad you found us! So far, we've released 28 park episodes. Hope you have your popcorn and snacks ready! 😂👍 -Howard
What an amazing park. I can’t wait to see it. Preferably off peak 😂. Great video 👍🏼
Haha, yeah off-peak is the way to go with Yellowstone. 🤣 Definitely worth the effort, and tons of wildlife! 👍 -Howard
We loved Yellowstone! Isn’t it a crazy place? One side is this gorgeous landscape and the other side is like another planet. Loved this video as always!
Omg, yes! It really is wild to think about the first explorers coming through there. Yikes! We love it!
Thank you for another awesome video. That park is definitely on our wish list we’re not gonna be able to ever get to half of the parks that you guys have going but we live in it through you guys.
Keith, thanks and we're glad you're experiencing the parks with us! 👍 -Howard
I have such fond memories of Yellowstone. Next time I go I will definitely do the dinner! That was awesome! ❤❤
Kim, you'll have to be more specific, there are lots of amazing dinners at Yellowstone! 😂 What were some of your favorite memories of your visit to the park? Thanks as always for watching! 👍 -Howard
Really beautiful episode! The best we have ever watched of Yellowstone! The food looked delicious! 😋🍷
Wow, thanks you two! Also, couldn't agree more about the food. It was absolutely delicious! 👍 -Howard
EXCELLENT! Loved this video! We have been to Yellowstone but you showed all the thing we didn't get to! Time to go back!
Thanks, Colleen! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍 -Howard
Very comprehensive overview! We were there summer of 22. We really wanted to do the cowboy cookout but it was canceled due to that park of park being closed from the floods! Happy to see you guys joined our Ohio Creators Group! - Mike and Shelley
Mike and Shelley, first thanks so much for the kind words! Yellowstone is one of those parks you return to again and again, and still discover something new each time. Hopefully the stars will align (and no flooding) for a Cowboy Cookout in your future! Also, happy to join and help support fellow Ohio creators! 👍 -Howard
Amazing as usual guys. Loved the video. Thats for all the good food recommendations. I doing the cookout, yummy sounding 🎉❤
Thanks, John! Definitely try and do the cookout, just make sure to try and book as early as possible. It was sold out for most of the week, but we got lucky and snagged a spot on a Thursday! 👍 -Howard
Such a wonderful,informative video. Thank you for this.Big hugs for the puppies ❤️❤️🇨🇦
Thanks as always for the kind words and for watching! We felt like if we were going to do a Yellowstone episode, it needed to cover as many aspects of the park experience as possible. Based on all the comments, looks like we delivered! 👍 -Howard
Another great video. Thank you Katelyn and Howard.
Glenda, thanks so much! We're glad you're along for the journey! 👍 -Howard
Excellent video! I absolutely loved every minute of this beautiful episode. You captured so much of this amazing park. Thank you so much for all the wonderful information and gorgeous footage!
Karla, thanks so much! We're so glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Thanks for the memories we spent 4 days out there last September and camped at Fishing Bridge. Great memories Thanks From Wisconsin
Sounds like a great trip, Robert from Wisconsin (reminds me of when they used to intro callers on the radio, "Bill from Scranton" lol)! We heard there are frequently bears at that campground, did you see any at Fishing Bridge? Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads No bear 🐻 I was just talking with my Sister 👧 they’re flying out on Thursday to go there I’m going to send them your video.
Our family visits Yellowstone NP every five years or so. Thanks for assembling a very entertaining travel through Yellowstone. Every American should visit Yellowstone at least once in their life. Even if you do not have much money, you can always camp and make your own meals to save money.
Subscribed to your channel after watching the first 10 seconds. I knew it was going to be such a high quality video and super informative
Wow, thanks so much! Glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Beautiful park nicely captured
Another great videao? Very Detailed and informative. You guys did a lot research.
Appreciate that, and it's true! A lot of hours are spent planning, filming and editing each episode. Thanks as always for watching and we're glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Great video. That was a great way to capture it. Glad you enjoyed Montana!
Thank you so much! Montana is one of our favorite states, so beautiful!
Fantastic video. I visited Yellowstone in 2001, 2003, and 2021 and have cumulatively spent about 3 weeks total time touring it and you still showed me things I missed.
I honestly think a person could spend a lifetime exploring Yellowstone and never exhaust the possibilities for seeing and experiencing something new.
It is my favorite place on the planet. 😃
Nice work! You had a TON of footage to sort through to make this video, so kudos to you both for all the hard work! Yellowstone is one of the most amazing places on the planet, and you've done a great job showcasing what it has to offer. So many visitors only have a day or two in the park, but you could easily spend a month there and do something different every day!
Thanks so much, this was almost 100 hours of video to get it down to 40 minutes, but we feel like it flows and moves quickly! Lots to see and do at Yellowstone. Also, congrats on launching your YT channel this year and releasing your first three videos! Keep at it, and remember to stay true to yourselves and your perspective. 👍 -Howard
Wow, that IS a ton of footage! I can't imagine even beginning to edit it, but you guys did an outstanding job! Thanks for noticing our channel and for the tips. We're just getting started, but it's a lot of fun, and we enjoy sharing our FT RV adventures. Hope to see you two out there soon! :)@@NewstateNomads
Great video! Yellowstone is beautiful! It's on my list to visit! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Sandra! We're so glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Fantastic guys.
Thanks, Ethan! 👍 - Howard
This is the best virtual tour of Yellowstone that I have ever seen. Nice photography and the right amount of talking. I've been there 4 times and I still learned a few things from your video. I would hope that anyone planning a trip to the US, or visiting Yellowstone for the first time, would discover your videos. Well done.
Just got back a couple of days ago from a trip to Yellowstone. It was amazing, look forward to go back next year!
Andrei, that sounds like a great plan! So much to see and do at Yellowstone. What were some highlights from your trip this year? -Howard
@@NewstateNomads Number one, the canyon! Then, the geysers, all of them. Wildlife in Lamar valley was amazing. Driving along Mount Washburn was breathtaking. Everything is beautiful over there. Thank you for the video, it was spot on.
Glad you are back. Never go back to the class A days. This was awesome
Thanks, David! It was fun to try Class A life this year, and we definitely enjoyed the benefits of the extra space, outside kitchen and a DOOR on the bedroom! 😂👍 -Howard
I just discovered your videos and they are, by far, some of the best-produced videos that I have seen. We are planning an epic trip out west (from Atlanta) and your videos have been so helpful! Instant subscriber.
Another great job guys. We were in Yellowstone at the end of July & saw a lot of things ourselves but your presentation helped us see things that we missed. Can’t wait to go back. Keep up the good work 🐅
Who Dey, Big Jim! Thanks so much, and how were the crowds during your visit in July? Must have been pretty busy during peak summer! - Howard
@@NewstateNomads It was pretty busy although it wasn’t too bad around the eastern part of the park. We were in a couple of bear watching convoys on the road from Fishing Creek Bridge where people were circling around to see some grizzlies. I posted a short video on my channel of a mama & cubs plus a few shorts of the waterfalls near canyon.
@@bigjimslade6250 wow, quite a find! Where was the bear and cubs video at in the park? Near Fishing Creek Bridge?
@@NewstateNomads we were along the East Park Entrance Road in the vicinity of the Lake Butte Scenic Drive.
Great video by the way!
Thank you so much! I see you're from Maui, our thoughts are with you and your community. Katelyn and I were married on Maui, and have visited Hawaii several times. Hope our paths cross sometime in the future! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads Mahalo! We were married in Ka'anapali.
Where's the Jellystone section with Yogi and Boo Boo, lol
Lol, we looked hard! Did find some pic-a-nic baskets, though. 🤣
We booked the cowboy cookout based on your video for this July. Thank you very much for your amazing videos!!
Great video! So many places in the park I didn’t get to see, so I ddfinitely need to go back. “Os-pray”… “os-pree”…either way is okay. The most important thing is that you didn’t call it a Bald Eagle. LOL!
Thanks, Kelley! This was our second visit, spent a week this time and we STILL didn't see everything. That's the great part about revisiting a place, you'll always find something new to explore. 👍 -Howard
During the summers I work in Yellowstone, this summer I will be working at Lake Lodge front desk. I am packing as we speak.
Hi
I was at this park 2 years ago. Yes, awe, like 3 parks in one. Did not know about the lodge burning down this year. Hoh river trail was worth the hike for sure. The coast camping was so fun.
I did not know about staircase, I will certainly visit again to see it. You always make the trips exciting 🎉
Hi John! So glad you enjoyed this episode! Olympic really is amazing, huh? You'll definitely have to check out Staircase next time. It was awesome! Thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn
Enjoyed your video. We have enjoyed numerous trips to the area.
Thanks for this amazing video. I normally don’t like longer videos and this one flew by. My husband and I have been to Yellowstone 5 different times and we still learned about new things to do and see! 😊
Thank you both so much! It was great to catchup with you this week, what a happy accident running into you! 👍 -Howard
I LOVED that! I was there in 1982, we tented. The fire was 1988, has it completely recovered now from that? I loved the boiling mud as well, loved it all really. The canyon is so gorgeous…it was a wonderful trip. Love your travels…thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm not 100% on which part was from the 1988 fire, but there are definitely areas that look to be more recent than that inside the park. We tent camped on a black sand beach in Maui after our wedding, there's something special about camping like that every now and then! 👍 -Howard
OMG! Your videography is fabulous! Oh, I remember Yellowstone so well…what a wonderful place to spend a week or more! The Inn is so beautiful, so large and majestic. I think I’d rather stay in our Lucy, though, especially with such a price for a shared bath! 😳. Oh geeze, that food you had, YUM, YUM, YUM. Thank you for taking me back to one of our fav national parks…Tim and I better get to-goin’ to revisit all these wonderful places you’re taking us to! Love you guys, Virginia 🩷
Virginia, apologies for the delayed reply. Yet another great park for Lucy, and an awesome place to try one or more of the campgrounds! Hope you both can plan another trip to Yellowstone, so much to see and do. 👍 -Howard
This was so well done. Thank you for your vlogs
Wow, thanks, Laurel! Really appreciate all the kind words, and we're glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Hello friend
Good evening here from Pakistan
Amazing content incredible and impressive exploration
Nice to visit
Thank you for sharing
Wonderful
Thank you so much! Pakistan has always been on our bucket list, hope to visit in the near future. 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads welcome my friend
That was aesome!! Thank you!!!
Thanks, Carolyn! So glad you're along for the journey. 👍 -Howard
Amazing video!
Thanks, Susan! 👍 -Howard
Yellowstone will do well withiut your advertisement
Awesome, caves and park. I will get there. Have you been to the Lehmann caves in Great Basin NP, and of coyrse you did Carlsbad, it was awesome too.
Thanks, John! Great Basin will be next year for us, sounds like you enjoyed it! 👍 -Howard
Wow. So many things to see and do. How many days were you in the park?
So true, Nicholas! We were at Yellowstone for 5 days, but even with that there were still areas we had to leave for another visit. Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
Great video 😊 we enjoyed our visit in 2021. Though you guys were using a Winnebago National Parks Edition class A as you visited the National Parks?😮
Thanks, John! We mentioned it at the kickoff of the tour and also during the recent live, but we only had the Vista NPF for part of the tour and decided moving back into the Navion in the SUMMER rather than WINTER was a better time to do it. 😂👍 -Howard th-cam.com/users/live8UYceOnP7Ok
The person that makes the coffee is called a "Bucarista"!
Have never heard that one before! Is that Italian? Do you know the origin of that word? Thanks as always for watching! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads It's a combo of batista and buckaroo
Good video. We’re going to Yellowstone this summer and traveling with my service dog. Just wondering what you could and couldn’t do with a dog. We are photographers, not professionals, and wondering where we can bring service dog
Rob, it's a great question, and I believe with a licensed service animal you have greater access. Here's a link I found specific to Yellowstone: www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/serviceanimals.htm
Hope that helps! 👍 - Howard
How many days do you recommend to spend doing the loop?
Can you do the loop in one day?
Hi guys
Have you been to Kobuk NP, Clark lake NP, and katmai NP in Alaska, if yes, give me some home in planning my trip, all 3 in one trip.. thanks
Just curious, i was told we needed a permit to film youtube videos in national parks. do you have any insight about this or a workaround? Mahalo!
They've mentioned that they do have permits to film all of these parks.
Aloha! You do need permits for TH-cam, TikTok and other commercial filming. As was mentioned, we have permits for every park on our tour. Thanks for watching! 👍 -Howard
@@NewstateNomads do you have to pay a $150 application fee? Seems a bit ridiculous to me.. thanks for the info!
Wait, what happened to the Vista?
I know I just replied to your newer comment about it, but for others seeing this, here's the video that explains the Vista and our Navion. 👍 -Howard th-cam.com/users/live8UYceOnP7Ok
Just curious though, why can you not film during peak hours??
It's very crowded then and people block the trails and boardwalks trying to film.
Correct, Yellowstone has a significant overcrowding issue with the geothermal areas in summertime. They specifically restrict any activity that could further impede the flow of visitors to the area. We intentionally don't film with tripods or equipment beyond the camera (and most people don't realize we are even filming beyond what a typical visitor does at a site), but always follow the stipulations and requirements of the permits at each location. - Howard
Little do we know at yellow stone that there is a huge time bomb ticking underneath us, I really do hope Yellowstone will not erupt.
Great video but how much did it cost for the permits to make these videos ? According to the new laws I can not even take a vacation video of a national park and post it on TH-cam, without first getting a permit from the Park Service, for each park.
Bruce, first a clarification, the laws that regulate commercial filming in NPs are over 20 years old. Second, the unfortunate aspect of TH-cam if you're using it to share personal videos is that the video is eligible for monetization (TH-cam can run ads on any video on the platform even if you don't receive a portion of the profits) and therefore the NPS considers it and TikTok as always for commercial purposes. Third, permits for National Parks vary widely by park. Some on our tour were $75. A few were over $400. It is best to contact each park or check their websites to see if they list application fees for SUP permits (if it is just two people, no special equipment beyond a tripod, and only filming in public areas, the location fee is $0, so you just pay the application fee). Hope that helps, and thanks for watching. - Howard
@@NewstateNomads I am 76 years old now and used to visit Yellowstone every summer for many years and never even thought about NOT being able to take videos and pictures of our National parks, the video camera I used was a big VHS camcorder that rested on my shoulder and nobody had any problem with it.. I was not destroying the park in any way. Granted I understand that commercial companies with large crews that obstruct the park need to have permits, but NOT people with a cell phone or small action camera taking videos and NOT bothering anybody, they don't take anything away from the park and they are hurting nothing. These parks belong to the people. We pay a fee to enter and enjoy the parks, we should not have to pay a fee to take vacation pictures and share them with other friends, over the internet. This Idea of charging us for everything we do on public land is getting a bit carried away.
The Yellowstone doesn’t even have tall peaks to appreciate the view, it is the most awful NP in the world just because the American people are not smart enough to take advantage of the opportunity, I hate them, They should have done some spa type of facilities, but kind of integrated with the environment, certain type of soak springs by mixing the hot with cold water, they could even make some INFINITY Edges, so tourists would be enjoying the views of the springs and wildlife, BECAUSE THE WAY IT CURRENTLY IS WHAT IS THE F*** Point of watching those bubbling pools in the cold without being able to feel it on the skin, it’s too hot I know, but they could mix it.
