Lol! These distances are a joke. Grizzly can ran fast. 100 yards will be covered in 5 seconds and then you will be feeding the bears. Every tourist under estimates how fast those animals really can move. Maybe you should do a video on over crowding in the western states. No camping places. I watched tourist camping on the side of the highway so many times this year. Wyoming is getting loved to death.

I think stopping by every visitor center is a MUST when visiting a National Park. Especially your very first time. Pick up your map. Ask the Rangers for the most recent park updates. Whether it be road/trail closures, recent bear spottings, or weather forecast. Also the visitor centers sometimes have awesome displays like antique/historic items, fossils, etc.

Yellowstone is definitely one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. I really hope to come back some day! One other don't I have: don't drive in the dark, or at least try to avoid it. It gets really dark inside the park, with winding roads along side ravines and large, dark animals possibly popping up right in front of you, it can get a little scary.

I could easily spend a whole day there. The best time to visit Old Faithful is the morning and evening. The lighting is awesome. Great video and spot on. The places in the park with wireless signal are Old Faithful, Grant, and Canyon. Verizon works best.

An additional reason to not drive over the speed limit is that some areas of the roads around Yellowstone is that there are cliffs nearby off sides of a road to suddenly have a 300 - 500+ ft drop off straight down, beside the chance of a random moose, bear, car, person to be in the middle of the road not moving. Also as mentioned for the mention on the cell service,.. the last time i was there, I had ZERO cell service while inside Yellowstone, several years back.

Yellowstone is getting so crowded I’m wondering when they’re going to restrict the number of cars that can enter and use some type of a shuttle service similar to Denali. It would lessen the congestion and given that there would be park employee drivers they could keep people from doing stupid crap like walking up to bison. It would also lessen the impact on the park itself.

@@heidimarchant5438 i’m talking about buses. If you’ve ever been to Denali you know they aren’t horribly expensive and are required. There are only a very limited number of cars allowed into the park each year and it’s based on a lottery. So you really don’t have a choice but to use the park bus. In Denali it’s a bit more of a rustic affair in line with the feel of the park and so the park buses were just re-purposed school buses, very basic. I would never suggest introducing a Disney style tram service that would be awful.
