Visited in August. Also, I noticed that I called the hotel we stayed at Yellowstone Inn a couple times, it was actually called Old Faithful Inn! Here is the video Pops made on his favorite trails in Yellowstone as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKOlQez_KTI

Pops got me choked up how much he loves Mother Nature. Father and son and nature. Awesome guys!

This made me emotional. When I first went in July 2022 I knew I had found my happy place. We loved it so much that we went twice in 2023 and going again in May 2024. Truly spectacular place ❤

Your dad getting emotional over Grand Prismatic is exactly how I feel about Yellowstone, too, especially the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There's nothing quite like seeing our planet in all its glory.

You two, Josh and Pops, absolutely showcase so beautifully what there is to see. I am convinced I have to go there. This was so amazing, from beginning to end. 🔥👏🏻🎊

Oh my gosh, Pops’ reaction when he saw Grand Prismatic was epic…made me tear up…I even called my teenage daughter in the room to watch..

Now that I am retired, I have been spending the past few summers working in Yellowstone. This summer I will be working at the Lake Hotel front desk.

Josh and Pops, I've watched all of your videos but I think this is the best one yet and that is saying something with all of the ones you have done before. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. SR

My husband and I have been to Yellowstone three times and now four times through your lens; you are a great videographer and story teller and is a pleasure following you and Pops around. Thanks for posting

I love seeing you do this with your dad! You will treasure these memories seriously forever. Yellowstone is the most incredible place I have ever seen. I cannot wait to go back! Enjoyed this as always :)

Yellowstone is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you for bringing us along on your tour of this magnificent National Park. Also, I thoroughly enjoy seeing you and your father training together. Keep it up, Pops!

I've really enjoyed these adventures with you and your pops. I watch one episode everyday while I do my workouts at home.

My wife and I took our 3 kids to Yellowstone a couple years ago. We saw most of these places in 2 days as well. Remarkably, we never experienced any sort of traffic jams.

I’m a Yellowstone geek and I loved your video. My first time in Yellowstone was with my dad 💛 an amazing unexplainable experience
@TK0O0O0O0 3 months ago

I really enjoy your videos with Pops. My dad passed away a few years ago and there are a lot of things I had hoped we would get to do together, so these episodes make me a bit sentimental but they also make me happy in a slightly vicarious way :)

Awesome video. Yellowstone is probably my favorite NP, the sheer variety of its features is amazing. Most national parks protect one feature, but Yellowstone has so many. 😊
@mikimertz8102 2 months ago

Thank you for sharing. My husband and I are going in May and we are about your dad's age, so I know we can handle it. Your video was a great sampler platter to help us prepare. I appreciated your honest comments and genuine excitement.
