Finding the upper head waters of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming on horseback. This journey will take us through the Bridger Teton & Shoshone Wildernesses. Up and over Deer Creek Pass down into the Thoroughfare Drainage to the Yellowstone River and Bridger Lake. Then up the river to the head waters where water starts on the mighty Yellowstone River. Then we will travel across the Buffalo Plateau and down Marston Pass to the South Fork of the Shoshone River, and travel out along the Canyons of the Shoshone River that Buffalo Bill help build in the 1880s
This will be a 3 episode video to show the massive journey it took to reach the head waters of the Yellowstone River where water starts and journey back. I tried to make a short version video of this journey but could not. It was just too wild, too big, and too grand of a landscape. So please watch all three episodes and enjoy this trip or Journey, to find the head waters of the Yellowstone River as we did.
We traveled by horseback over 3 mountain passes, three water sheds like the Yellowstone River that lead to the Missouri River. Head waters of the Snake River to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also the Shoshone River that continues down to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We traveled by horseback 126 miles in some of the wildest county in the lower 48 starts. Enjoy our journey on the biggest screen you have.

My great great grandfather's brother was Harry Yount, whom Yount's Peak is named after. I have always been curious about what the area around the mountain looked like and have considered backpacking into it. You have given me a front-row seat to the trail. Thank you. It's a beautiful video.

So cool that the horses get to run free and will come back when you call them like a pet dog đź‘Ź

I rarely watch all of longer videos. But, I watch every minute of yours. Great camera and editing skills. “Pilgrim, can you skin grizz”? Sure glad that critter didn’t cause you trouble. “When I get to heaven, tie me to a tree; or I’ll begin to wander and soon you know where I will be.” Sure appreciate you sharing this great adventure. Wow!

WOW, I am impressed with the size of the Yellowstone river, where it begins. Who would think that small Creek Looking River would end up being as big as the Yellowstone River we all see on videos and in pictures!!!! Thank You, for sharing your ride with us!!!!

What absolutely gorgeous photography. I literally felt like I was riding the horse.

I thought I knew something about the Yellowstone. I thought it began where the river comes out of the lake at fishing bridge. I didn't know it was also on the south side of the lake too! Now I have a new adventure to go find!

Oh that's awesome When watching feel peaceful đź’ž

I'm amazed at how stable the horses are. I suppose some of the excitement is edited out but those trails get really rough and the thunder and all. Beautiful video. What a country!
