THE PARKS:
Grand Teton National Park is one of the most beautiful sights we’ve seen in all of our travels and is our favorite National Park! With the plentiful free camping just outside, to the small but popping town of Jackson to the south, there’s something for everyone at this park! Hikes, backpacking, fishing, you name it! If you like being outdoors, this is the park for you!
Yellowstone National Park is the among most popular of the US National Parks, and for a good reason. With dozens of lakes, fields of bison, forests of bears and wild wolves, there’s a very likely chance you’ll see animals in their natural habitat you won’t ever see anywhere else! This park is great for all ages and has lots of accessible adventures for people of all ages and physical abilities. Get your cameras ready for this one! You’ll want to spend at least two days here minimum, but you could spend at least a week and still not see everything! From waterfalls and large geysers to hot springs and everything in between, Yellowstone will leave you speechless! The surrounding towns of Gardiner and West Yellowstone are popular tourist destinations that offer a variety of local food, drinks, and entertainment for people of all ages.
Glacier National Park is an absolute must for anyone who loves seeing crystal blue alpine lakes, gorgeous mountains, and thick forests. Any number of hikes you take you’re likely to encounter wildlife like deer, bears, and the cutest little chipmunks! We saw three grizzly bears while hiking (FROM A SAFE DISTANCE THANKFULLY 😅)! When planning your trip here, be sure to check the National Park Website for closures and important information about your visit as lots of trails and roads are subject to closure due to the high elevation weather.

A grown male grizzly bear can take down a Bison. But consistently, that's a different story.
Great show thank you
glad you enjoyed it!
I love your video more each time,you bring me joy ,thanks for sharing with the world
Thank you Jess! We are loving trying new things with our videos. Glad you like them!
Wooow 1 million miles!!!! Awesome goal, can’t wait to follow along! ❤️
It’s a huge go but I think we can do it!
AHHHH. This one was so good guys!
Thank you!! We’re really proud of it!
What an amazing video! You guys were having so much fun that I want to be just like you when I grow up! Your videos are so inspirational!
Hahaah Thank you Charles!
This was so fun! i want to make my videos more like yours now haha thanks for the inspiration!
Ha ha thank you we learn as we go
Hi guys, that was beautiful! But guys, slow down a bit! You don’t have to race to your million miles, you’ll get there! Really gorgeous country! ❤️
Thanks for watching Linda! After a slow winter, we are just ready to see and do more! Plus now that we are uploading once a week vs 2, it seems like a lot in one video.
@@Meghanandmatt Gotcha.. but the Mom in me wants to make sure you are soaking it all up! Have fun and safe travels! ❤️
@@lindasteinbrenner8065 thanks Linda! We’re having a great time! Much appreciated
So much gear! jelly
Ha ha we love it!
That was awesome
Thanks Danny!
@@Meghanandmatt I should have said that was beautiful beyond words kinda beauty like is that even real kinda stuff. By the way gonna make trip myself. Thanks for sharing
@@dannygrissom1 it was absolutely incredible! You’re going to love it! We listed our campsites in the description, hope that helps!
This was AWESOME! Great video in my favorite places in the country. Safe travels, friends!
Safe travels to you too! We can’t wait to take our airstream to these places again
@@Meghanandmatt I just found you guys on YT, so I clearly have some catching up to do lol.
Glacier Park continues into Canada. Waterton Lakes National Park is beautiful. A great hike there called the “Crypt Lake” hike. You take a boat across the lake and hike to a glacial lake.
Yeah! We stopped by there which we’ll show in the next video! We didn’t get to do Crypt Lake but we would love to go back for it!
Holy shit that little fist pump on que with The beat "see ya nature uh uh uh uh"it's still got me keyed 😂🤣🤣 that shit was great
Hahaha that’s my favorite part 😂
Just found your channel this week and am catching up. We are planning AK in a truck camper and hopefully South Africa for the penguins and Kenya for safari. Anyways, thanks for all the info & entertainment and what 'Big Boy lens' did you get? - western NY Troy & Aimee
That’s awesome! AK and South Africa were both two of our favorite places we’ve been. For Alaska we bought the sigma 150-600 f/4.5-6.3 sports lens but sold that before traveling internationally because it was too bring to carry with us and it’s not the most optimal for safari. I bought a tamron 50-400 f/4.5-6.3 specifically for our South Africa trip and safari and it worked great. The animals are usually pretty close to the trucks so having that huge range was great. And there wasn’t really a point where I needed more than 400mm cause I could use APS-C mode and get that 600mm
Love you guys you make a great couple It’s hard to stop watching I am going do Van life shopping for vehicle
Aw thank you! And very exciting! You’re going to love it
You guys are my favorite vanfolk...!
We moved from Colorado to Virginia and been trying to find good spots out east. Love to see you guys put out some footage of the eastcoast. We got a minivan and been doing weekend outings but haven't found what anything comparable. Tryin to convince the wife to get a full size van.
Ay thank you! I hear the great smokies are beautiful and you’ve got lots of hiking on the Appalachian Trail in VA! When we head back east we’ll for sure make some guides
Hey V DeAnda! We've done several east coast videos and will be doing more as we head north from Florida to NY soon. Hit us up if you want to get any recommendations!
@@SteveAudra Just subscribed. I'll check yall out. Thanks for gettin back at me.
@@Birddog-4 awesome!
Thank you for being truthful about the places you eat, I appreciate that. I slept a night at the old faithful parking lot, when I just has the shell on my truck, no one bothered me, that was before I had Bella. I got waffles at the hotel there in the morning, really cool place. I almost didn't want to watch the glacier park part, because I haven't been there before, but I did and I am so glad you guys got to go. I'm looking forward to going there on the way back down into the states (if it's still all open then)!
Thanks D! I️ wonder if you could get away with that now! That would have been really convenient. Glad you watched! Most of the Going to the sun road was closed so we could only explore a small part of the park. So much more to see there!
@@Meghanandmatt why was it closed?
still too much snow!
@@Meghanandmatt hopefully when I go it'll be open, that is the main reason I want to go!!
@@blessedveteran they estimated by mid July it should reopen! Fingers crossed for you!
2nd!
you're first matt doesnt count lol!
Glacier is one of my all time favorite national parks....next time y'all really need to go to Bowman-Kintla area and stop in Polebridge for a bear claw. The best time of year to visit is in September usually....unless there are fires.
We looked into going when you suggested it but it was really far from where we were staying and we couldn’t make it up there. We will be back!
@@Meghanandmatt It's one of the least populated parts of the park, with FCFS camping, if I remember correctly. But you're right, it is a drive to get there, though if you were at Lake Macdonald, you're on the right side of the park at least. Next time!
@@travelingwhilebutch yeah we’ll be back for sure!!
GREAT VIDEO!!! You had enough for 3 or 4 videos in there maybe more! At 22:42, is Meghan peeing on a tree? I kinda missed not having a wild cow scare Meghan in this video though.
Thanks Steve! There was definitely soooo much footage but wanted to show this epic road trip from beginning to end. I don’t pee standing up Steve lol there a LOT Of cows where we’re headed next!
Great video, you guys! What an amazing experience and I'm drooling over that new lens! Is it a BEAR to carry around? (See what I did there? 🙂)
Matt, so excited for you that you got to take such fantastic photos. Love it!
@@SteveAudra Thanks guys! Not gonna lie it is extra weight but worth BEARing it for the shots haha. I just consider it extra workout on the hike 😂🤙🏻
Yo Matt I wanted to work fo Nat Geo since elementary wish I wuda pushed toward it
It’s never too late to work towards it!
In Alaska we would sometime see warnings about local bear activity and which trails to avoid. Did you ever see warnings like that on this adventure?
Nope, nothing specific about bears being on trails but there were plenty of signs warning that we were in bear country!
Came here from jimmy & Natalies Channel.. 1 good dead = 1 new subscriber 👍
We’re glad you’re here! Jimmy and Natalie were great to hang with we’re glad to be of help
I was there too May 31st. I saw nothing but fog. So disappointed because my expectation was beautiful sunset
Ah man that sucks! First time we went we couldn’t see anything. Hope you can go back soon and see the beauty!
🤘🤙🧡
🤘🏼
👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤗🤗🥰🥰😎😎✌🏼✌🏼
Thanks Robert!! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼☺️☺️
Grizzly would win. I’ve seen a grizzly break a full grown mature male moose back with just one swipe while running.
Counting the 6 mile hike as 12 is cheating. When you drive do you double the miles driven? It’s two asses in seats. No more cheating Meghan.
Nope every transportation vessel gets counted once so since we don’t share legs, it’s 2x
I️ feel like it’s a tie right now lol
@@Meghanandmatt seems like a very grey area to me. Matt, what are your thoughts?
@@BartBourg I (Matt) agree that it seems like cheating counting walking/hiking 2x
I'm going to guess that Matt is an Aquarius and Meghan is an Aries.
Nope Meghan’s an Aquarius and I’m a Libra
How many miles do y’all get per gallon? And HOW can you afford to drive so much with these gas prices? (Thanks Biden 🤣)
Jk, I kept watching. 20/gallon. Ah man, multiply that by those million miles… 😵
@@starlite369 oh yeah it’s gonna get pricey! Realistically I don’t think the van will make it to 1 million but we’ll see! 😂 as far as affording it goes we just make sure we budget properly each month
