- Head waters of the Yellowstone River
Episode 3
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

Some of the most beautiful country God has given us. Thank you for taking us on such a beautiful trip.
it was great thanks for watching
You did a fine job gathering footage on this ride. I watched all 3 episodes. The clarity made the scenery stand out life like. Crossing those boulder fields was quite something. Great trip with no wrecks. Riding the rim of Heaven.
Glad you enjoyed I really did It was fun putting the together
Absolutely Incredible series. Thank you so much for taking us along. Alex calling the horses was fantastic. EXCELLENT way to end this series. NICELY DONE!
Thanks for your great comments
Thanks for such an interesting journey. I appreciate you documenting the beauty of that area. Alex was definitely your unsung hero, she did it all, cooked took care of the horses and when needed carried the dog.
I was so happy to see another beautiful video from you. With such a steady hand you show us the most gorgeous landscape and, what it's like to be on a real trail ride. I always look forward to the next one. blessings
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
We packed into crater lake and all that country you were in 1971. This brought back great memories. Thanks
glad you enjoyed it i dont think it has changed much
Thanks for sharing your adventure…enjoyed the three episodes tremendously. Seeing it from the highway is one thing but from the back country view and the camping plus going thru the mountains makes it even more special to watch. Bravo guys!,, 🇹🇹 👏👍🍻
Absolutely fantastic ! The scenery is truly amazing and your camera work is second to none ! Your love of life in the wilderness and your care and love for your animals really comes through in these videos.
We can’t wait to come over from the UK again in the spring and drive down to that Cabin Creek trailhead and hopefully take some areal photographs of those stunning mountains up above the Shoshone river. That forest fire of 12 years ago must of been terrible.
Such a good video, think we will watch it again. Best wishes and stay safe…Des and Shirley.
Glad you enjoyed It was a great trip Hope your travels are great
Beautiful country on great stock with some fine hands.
Thank you kindly
Another great trip makes me a little home sick for the good ol days
You and me both! Glad you enjoyed it
the sounds and your comments really bring the video to life; sounds of birds, the running waters, the thunder and all is wondrous
I am glad you enjoyed the extra effects

Man what an epic adventure. Just the thing for this crazy Texas cold spell. Bout to get cabin fever.

Would love to be along for this beautiful and what is no doubt a steep and treacherous trail . Thank you and your companions for bringing ua along.
Damn! Made me homesick 4 the High Lonesome .
Our pleasure!
Nice very nice! Some of the terrain looked really sketchy, the shale and rocks must have been tough on the horses. I would have been holding my breath on some of those trails.
Thanks 👍
JUST GREAT ❤
Kudos to the photographer. Those still Picts are absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
What a adventure of a life time im from the east coast mass we think mount Holyoke was a big mountain in the 1800 people came from all around to see it boy when they went west they must pf thought they went to heaven. thank you for sharing.
im glad you enjoyed it check out other videos on channel you may enjoy
Thank you! Such an amazing ride with amazing views 😍

I would have to walk my horse through some of those places to high and no guard rail but the most beautiful place I have ever seen
it was a good ride
Before ..now.. after.. forevere always sur....so....🗽
Thoroughly enjoyed all three episodes . Shout out to all the sure foot horses and mules & your guides Hunter and Alex... Cant forget the dog either. Thank you Wilderness Riders for taking us along

Thanks for watching planning this coming year now
Absolutely lovely . 😊
Glad you enjoyed it it was a great pack trip
Heck of a Good Trip...Myself I'd be on a Mule for sure. I was noticing how the Mule in front of you, would plant the leg down hard, to make sure there was solid footing, on the deep crossings.
it was a great trip glad you enjoyed
Thank you guys and gals for bringing us along on this journey. The scenery and landscapes are beautiful! Man some of these trail's were perilous and challenging to say the least. Very interesting how you describe the Continental Divide and what Wild Bill Cody had do to make those game trails. I was at the devastation the forest fire did and how the trees haven't grown. It's sad for sure.
glad youy enjoyed it
Loved loved loved this series of videos! Thank you so much! Spectacular scenery and photography! 😎

Wow! "👀" fantastic series, featuring some of the worlds most beautiful country. Lucky all of you! Thank you for sharing your unforgettable journey in God's Country. ❤👏👏

Glad you enjoyed it!
Just amazing. Thank you for sharing! This was an amazing ride.
Glad you enjoyed it
Your guys is great 👍
More absolute epicness....if there is such a word. Great video. I'd have been tempted to walk the horse across that shale slope - gave me goosebumps and I'm not afraid of heights. Anyway, what a dandy trip and you captured it well. Thanks for sharin and many blessings!
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful trip, enjoyed it very much, thanks for taking us along , awesome views and sketchy trail.

Those views are too beautiful.
They are! Thanks
Awesome... Gods head waters and creation ,wow! I could only imagine. Would love too tag along.. maybe the next one let me know.. looks like living and granted.
It was a awesome ride
So beautiful; what a blessing to be able to honor and explore Mother Earth on the back of our beloved horses. Looking at those big, beautiful horse butts was as thrilling as the natural scenery. Is the tri-colored spotted horse gaited? Thank you for sharing with all of us.
No he is not gaited Thanks for watching It was a great trip
UUUUUUH PRECIOSO MARAVILLOSO PASAJES. GRACIAS
Thanks for watching
Epic journey!
it was i wont forget it
Those ledges! Wow.
It was fun for a while
I love it thanks
I'm glad you like it
what a journey! I'm glad you explained some of the trails creation as I was wondering how in the world they were made & so dangerous! I sure would love to know what Alex's pack mule call was saying... lol I suspect in the beginning there was some sweet feed to get them running back to her so well. ;)
Loved every minute!
Thank God we have at least a few beautiful places left
glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video documentary, Sir. Liked how you kept the audio going thru the stills.
Man I could almost smell the jackpine and high meadows! Smell the horse sweat!
Robin songs, flickers owls ravens jays and some unfamiliar; deckers and sawbucks, coffee pots, sixguns, sweaty sombreros, and "old Paint" a steady mountain pony, even a little impatient, ( heh, he probably dont cotton to bein' a camera mount!) and the Lady calling in the remuda-- course they're gonna come!
High wide and handsome, both the skills of all - and the heart breaking grandeur of the roof of this continent. Well done!!
Keep the whisky comin' boys, and DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF THAT WANDERIN' STAR!
Thanks for a great comment You have been there to And yes i keep looking for that Wanderin star
@@cowdogflicks you got it! Thanks again.
Show de beleza, habilidade, coragem, harmonia, organização e trabalho de equipe de alto nível. Mais um inscrito.
Thanks so much Roger (I hope I got your name right) for another awesome video; takes me back to my cowboy days long ago
Thanks for your comments it was a great trip - Roger
The country I was made for
Thanks
This is great
Thanks
We watched all 3 one after another. Loved them all! Kinda surprising that not many animals showed themselves to your camera. And, no sasquach hanging in the trees! Did you see much in the way of wild animals? Oh, thank you for the wonderful videos. I've shared with a friend who did things like this in Idaho. Quite the horse woman!!! Carolyn, if you're reading this, leave a comment! ❤
glad you enjoyed it with so many animals making noise the wild animals and bears stayed clear of us
Impresionant! Molt bonic!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
thanks
Ride 'Em Cowboy 🤠🔥
It was fun
@@cowdogflicks I am sure it was. It looks like a great trip!
Fantastic trip and your coverage made me feel like was there. I lived in Trinity county, Northern California where we have similarly gorgeous wilderness back country. Makes a me so happy to know these places exist and are preserved for future generations. By hoof or on foot free to explore, thank you again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
I'm a little late. Just discovered this 5/31/24. Excellent videos! I thoroughly enjoyed all!
A couple of times you mentioned how slow everything was growing back after the fire. I've heard those fires can get hot enough to sterilize the earth for 5-10 years afterward. I wonder if that might be what you guys were witnessing? Amazing footage! Thank you!
awesome thanks for sharing your experience. It helps folks like me who may never get to go to this place enjoy the reality with you. Thankyou and God bless
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful country God is Great in all his creation! I would love to be there with y’all !
This trip was a good one
Reminds me of "Slow TV" that used to be on Netflix of barge trips along European waterways. Such a different pace for a change.
Glad you like it
I so much love to have been on the rides with you all. Such beautiful country and the best way to see nice and slow on horseback. Your videos are so good it feels about like I'm riding along. Thank you so much for sharing.
I am glad you enjoyed them Maybe we will cross paths some day
Beautiful series of videos, thank you so much for making and sharing them, I really enjoyed them.
One thing to consider about the slow regrowth of the forests after the fires...like you said it's a very short growing season, especially for a slow-growing species such as any conifers are. Also keep in mind the usual life spans of conifers, which can be hundreds and even thousands of years. From the footage you've shown, the regrowth of the conifers in the burn areas actually looks to me to be very good, especially given that (I assume) they were not replanted but left to regenerate naturally. Lastly, conifers also normally grow in very poor, thin mountain soils, which also slows their growth. All those dead, burnt trees will eventually fall over, rot into the ground, and help to build the depth and nutrient value of the soil the new trees are growing in, as well as provide rich habitat for thousands of life forms, all very necessary to a healthy forest ecology, as well as clearing the canopy and allowing sunlight on to the forest floor. Fire and regrowth in forests is a cycle that's been ongoing for millions of years, and as much as it hurts those of us humans to witness the devastation fire brings to the forests we know and love so very much, it also provides us with the opportunity to watch the amazing processes involved as the forest goes thru the long, slow process of healing itself, becoming reborn stronger and better able to sustain itself and the many lives that depend on it.
The forest you grew up in and came to love is gone, yes, it's like the death of a much beloved family member or friend, and I understand, fully, your sadness. You won't see that forest recovered within your lifetime, and neither will I. Our children likely won't see it either, but our grandchildren may and most likely our great grandchildren will. What we, as stewards and protectors of the land must do, is make sure these lands remain protected while they recover, and instill in our descendants a love of their beauty, an understanding of their importance to the entire planet, and most of all the knowledge of the vitally important value that wildfires play in building stronger, healthier forests for the future. Wildfires are a horrible tragedy for us, but vital to healthy, sustainable forest ecosystems.
Sorry, didn't mean to rant.
I agree with you 100% glad you enjoyed the video
BELLISSIMO
Thanks again
Thank you for beautiful video from fiji island
Thank you too
@@cowdogflicks most welcome
Absolutely spectacular!!! Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much , truly enjoyed it
Good to here Thanks for watching
Excellent ride, thanks for the great video!
it was fun
That pack trip looked epic! I'm so jealous!!
keep dreaming I do alot
Wow good stuff .. makes me want to head up north ..
Someday Someday Lets cross trails
Another excellent video! Man, that paint doesn't like to be held back at river crossings. He looked positively pissed throwing his head around like that a couple of times.
Yes he is not the greatest camera horse but great in the mountains
Trip of a lifetime!! God bless!
Yes it was Planning more to come God willing
Thank you for sharing your fantastic trip. Breathtaking scenery. All of you are seriously brave!
Thanks for watching It was a good trip
Outstanding adventure and scenery.
Great animals as well.
Glad you enjoyed it
In 1967-68 I was starting to read western books. The reason was, my grandfather and my moms unkel had been in the North Amerika and worked å lot of years. And they brought home book from the west. About life and living on horseback. I decided to go there when groing up. However I started work, and school after that again. so my dream never came true. Now I am too old and my wife is afraid of all the bandits over there. So I have to watch your channel and dream!
I live in Wapiti, Wyoming and the outfitter and packers are our friends. We have a great community and no bandits. Wish you and your wife could experience living in such a beautiful place. I agree Roger’s videos make you feel like you were there. Happy Trails.
Glad you enjoyed it and keep dreaming I do
@@wyomingmuleman9842 What's scering her, and me is the police! We have seen videos where they kill a man without any reason. He only lost his job so he could not pay rent for his house, so the bank throw him out. Than he bought a tent so he had a roof over his head. Someone caled the police about the tent and they came and shot him dead.
Such beautiful scenery. Was so scary watching the trail cross all those rocks. Was a great series to watch and enjoy your visit to this area.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a wonderful time on a beautiful journey, thanks for the great views. Do yall have the food packed in dry ice for that many days? I love cowboy camping.
very soothing to watch because of your great cinematography :)
Thanks for your comment I keep Trying to make it better
Love all three of your amazing rides, absolutely stunning country! While watching this one I noticed the white flower and it looks to me like giant hogweed. If it is "DON'T TOUCH IT, INCLUDING THE HORSES, MULES AND DOGS" it will burn! I took a look again and I think it starts at the 1:44 mark, If you do come into contact with Giant Hogweed:
Immediately wash the area with copious soap and cool water;
Don’t burst any blisters - seek medical help if they are extensive - a pharmacist or your GP initially;
Stay out of any sunlight for at least 48 hours;
Monitor for any delayed reaction;
Flushing the eyes with copious fresh water as a precautionary measure is also advisable;
Thoroughly and quickly wash the clothes you were wearing when you came into contact with the plant.
I will look that up thanks for pointing it out
Awesome, love your trips in the Greater Yellowstone!
Glad you like them! Yours of the area were also great one day maybe we will meet on a mountain
@@cowdogflicks Thank you so much! That would be awesome!
I enjoyed your trip
glad you enjoyed it
Wow I’ve been on both trails to the thoroughfare but never made the loop.. I’m guessing you came out through bliss creek meadows… and I see it was late enough in the year so you didn’t have to swim the river or needle creek… great videos
Great video camera, congratulation!!
Thanks a lot!
Sensacional, viagem maravilhosa, obrigado por nos mostrar locais espetaculares. Parabéns - Roberto de Maringá - Pr. Brasil
thanks for watching
At the 23:10 mark comment "the lodged pole hasn't come back". Looks like a lot of conifer saplings to me! But you're correct, with a short growing season, western fires take a very long time to regenerate the forest.
You could be right on the pine trees i will check with Jeff the Forest Range who came with me it is a short growing season hope we cross paths someday
Another great video; My partner advised we should go by way of Deer Creek Pass. he said Marston Pass was more difficult. I see he was right, that's some trail!
it is good to go up Deer Creek and down Marston not the other way Glad I could help
Wyoming, best scenery ever. I wonder what these trails are like in winter?
Me to
I have watched all 3 episodes. I enjoyed all of them. I would love to do that but I would not last more than hour of riding. Seems like a good way to wear a horse out. I am also an artist. I love western art but not real good at it but there is plenty to study from on these videos.
Glad you like them!
Nice video I plan on doing a lot of packing in Montana and Wyoming. I have a couple planned this summer one in the
Kenai.
One in the wrangles
Glad you enjoyed Keep riding
Don’t think I have the courage to ride a horse on the steep rocky places. I’d be creeping along
It was interesting a few times
beautiful video. what camera are you using?
Glad you enjoyed it gopro 11
that is a pretty scary trail in places😵
It was fun at times
One of the pack mules wasn't able to get enough water. Either the chest band was restricting it from lowering its head or the rope from the next mule to its halter was to short
WOW! I'm mesmerized by your trip and can't wait to do one similar. Thanks for including the names and number of the pack guide. What time of year did you go? Thanks for sharing such an awesome adventure and beautiful video and pictures! Inspiring! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you all so much for sharing your experience with us.
Our pleasure!
Beautiful nature, and what breed of horses are in the mountains?
We’re can I get information regarding these treks ?
Check out local outfiitters in the area you want to go
What amazing,
Do you have a map of the trail?
Working on it
