good morning from wyoming and my camp here very near grand teton national park if you watch my
previous video you saw that i was camped over at the grove on campground i have since moved camps
i am at a very beautiful private free spot i'll show you a little bit more of camp in
an upcoming video today is all about visiting the park we're going to go ahead and head into
grand teton national park i have my three necessities for today which is number one
coffee tube bear spray and my big lens my 100 to 400 millimeter lens for capturing wildlife
there are grizzly in the area moose wolves black bears you name it this place is wild
i'm looking forward to seeing what beauty we can capture today as well as hopefully some wildlife
and just enjoying the beauty of grand teton national park so let's get going
i just barely drove away from camp and i've already seen that big old bison
and a baby pronghorn nursing on its mama that is a good way to start the day
so
as you probably noticed the visibility is hampered by the wildfire smoke i checked the webcams in the
park about a good week prior to heading up here and it was actually really decent i could see
the mountains every single day although it was hazy the day that i got here it was fairly clear
as well so i was uh excited to see that i could actually view the tetons however it has gotten
increasingly worse every day there are thunderstorms expected later on in the
week i am hoping that will help clear it up a little bit maybe the winds will shift but
we're going to make the best of it it is still absolutely beautiful as you can see
i received some intel where i might find some grizzlies so i'm checking out some of those spots
holy moly it is beautiful here
my
it has been an absolutely beautiful morning smoke or no smoke it is just gorgeous here
i am much closer to the teton range so i'm able to actually see it right now i'm super stoked i
probably won't film too much footage of it now because my plan is to come back later on this
afternoon slash early evening and i get it when there's much more pleasant and beautiful lighting
since i last checked in with you i came back to camp to wait out better lighting the harsh
light of the afternoon coupled with the smoke did not make for ideal conditions
so i'm hoping that when i go back through the park it's going to be much more beautiful for
you
so
good morning yesterday was an absolutely fantastic day in grand teton national park i did not see any
grizzly or black bear however i did see lots of other wildlife and it was just amazing
that's one of the things that i absolutely love about this area in wyoming and the greater
yellowstone area as well it is just so wild i get excited whenever i see wildlife i don't care
how many times i see a deer i get excited today i will be returning to the park this time for a hike
and joining me today will be a patron and subscriber named martina who happens to be
here in the tetons with her family on a big summer family vacation i did not know she was
going to be here it was just serendipitous and it's absolutely awesome that she will be able to
join me along with her two sons today on a hike to hidden falls i'm very excited although i have
done a hike in grizzly country alone i've done a hike to avalanche lake in glacier national park
my rule of thumb is to not hike in grizzly country alone so i will be grateful for the company today
since this is indeed grizzly country anyhow they should be here any moment so i'm going
to get myself finished up getting ready and yeah join us today for this amazing hike
we began our hike at the jenny lake trailhead and would end at the string
lake trailhead for a total of just over five miles
this has been a stunning hike i have great company today it's been a lot of fun
so tell me your names and what you thought of the hike i'm montiac and i thought the hike was
awesome i enjoyed i enjoyed the walk up it was very peaceful and um although we didn't see any
bears or anything um the falls were gorgeous and um yeah it was a great hike yeah so my name is
phillip and i thought the hike was really good and it was a little hot on like that side but
it was like there was no trees where it was there was like a forest fire years ago so
it was like all cleared out but other than that the um waterfalls were really nice and the lake
was nice and the water over there i was just in was pretty refreshing so yeah awesome thank you
i hope you enjoyed joining me for this trip to grand teton national park
it is absolutely one of my favorite places on the planet i'm sure that you can see why
it is just beautiful this mountain range is like nothing i've ever seen it's so majestic
and it just seems to jut out of nowhere and i could stare at those mountains all day long
