This podcast covers all the fun things you can do just outside of Grand Teton and Yellowstone parks. There is a reason that hardly any of the locals from West, Jackson or Big Sky ever go into the parks and the reason for that is that there is a TON of really fun and exiting things to do right outside the parks boundaries that are NOT allowed inside the parks.

This podcast covers hiking in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. I first cover hiking in Grand Teton and get you right up into the craggy spires of the Tetons where the peaks are shooting up all around. We then cover Teton hikes that are totally suitable for small kids with fantastic views of the Tetons and also tell you the hikes you should avoid.

Then we cover the best of the best day hikes in Yellowstone where you can get off the beaten path and away from all the crowds and explore some of the best hot pools and geysers in the Yellowstone backcountry where you will have the entire place to yourself and most of these great spots are not shown on any maps. And you will be in spots that less than 100 visitors have been since the inception of the park in 1872!

We then cover longer and overnight hikes in Yellowstone and then cover the beautiful Bechler Region of Yellowstone also known as the Cascade Corner section of the park where 80% of the parks waterfalls are located and where you can soak in a hot pot all afternoon at the base of a huge waterfall or swim in Mr. Bubbles, the largest natural hot pot in the park.

I then get you to a spot where you can swim in a hot stream after you got soaked at the base of Union Falls which is the largest double falls on earth and is the cover shot for the guidebook.

I cover what maps you will need and how to reserve a backcountry campsite and tell you the best ones to get and where to hike when most of the park might be snowed in and I also give you a bunch of hikes which are suitable for small children who are big hikers.

I even cover some outer edge hikes that are still in Yellowstone Park but are located where you don't have to enter the main park gates and fight all the traffic and crowds just to do a bit of day hiking. I even cover the best hikes where you can take you dog along with you.

This is a big podcast but I only cover the best of the best hikes in both parks and get you to some truly remarkable places where you can Explore Yellowstone and Grand Teton like a local!!

We visit a great picture spot that where you can see just how big Yellowstone Park really is then talk about a not so great hike to Heart Lake that my dad used to drive to in the 1950's. And then possibly the best kayak adventure you will ever experience on Lewis and Shoshone Lakes and my futile effort at it once which really pissed me off.

I also tell you about how you can swim and possibly cliff jump in the warm waters of Moose Falls with the water pouring all over you and its just a minute from your car. Then we take a short drive on the rarely used Marysville/Grassy Lake/Flagg Ranch Road to a great backcountry hike to Cascade Acres and the gorgeous Terraced Falls which is a hike totally suitable for kids but is rarely used as no one even knows it exists.

This podcast covers the section of road from Canyon all the way down to West Thumb. We will cross into the Hayden Valley which is home to the largest free roaming herd of Bison on earth and hear a couple of great stories that took place right where you are now driving.

We then make a stop at the Mud Volcanoes then hit Yellowstone Lake where I will regale you with a very personal near death story about yours truly and where you can see where I worked as a kid and then where you can hit the beach along the lake. .

We will listen to a little Mozart while we sip a cocktail on a beautiful veranda at the Lake Hotel before we dine at the best restaurant in the park. We talk about how you can rent a boat so you can explore the gorgeous Yellowstone Lake from the water.

And we will finish it off with what has become one of the more popular spots my explorers and a spot that 99.9% of people just drive right past because it looks like a pile of rocks, which it is, but what a hip pile of rocks it really is!
