There's alot of bears in and around Hamilton. They come down into the valley often and snack on tourists but the Fish and Game has imposed a limit of three tourists per bear per day. So not to worry if you're a tourist, you just have to be able to run faster than your buddy.
Haha...yeah we were definitely keeping our eye our for Bears. We even hung some raw meat from the camper to see if we could attract one...no luck. :-). I am sure the locals would like to see the tourist limit increased to make the town less crowded in the summer. Hahs. No really beautiful area for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TheRoadSMITHS I've lived all my 65 years in the valley and saw a bear in person about 45 years ago. I think you'd be good to go. The likelihood of seeing a grizzly would be about as good as getting hit by lightning. BTW, I've spent hundreds of hours in the Bitterroot Selway.
Thank you for watching! Darby and the surrounding area was a great place to visit! People said they often saw cast members in local shops/stores! Said they’re all super friendly! We were happy to get to see and talk to at least one!
Thank you! Oh, if only I could’ve wished it was true! 😂 I really did try! I told Ken he should’ve taken a photo with Lloyd, but he didn’t want to make it look like a photo op. He said he was just a really. I’ve, down to earth guy! Enjoy your trip to the Caribbean soon!!
Shows you the loyalty of women. If he got sick and a rich guy came along this husband is hosed. He doesn’t believe it and none ever do. Bet you Keven Costner thought the same.
I could sit on top that mountain and look at those views all day long. Well, as long as I had my bear spray. Love small town markets and of course reindeer moss! Probably a good idea not to fly the drone. LOL The bear on your next video looked to be way to close!!! Just sayin! Take care guys!
I learned this past year that I’m more of a mountain person than I thought! I thought I was only a beach person! Those views always get me! 😍 Haha and always keeping an eye out for 🐻! Ken laughed at me with the reindeer moss, but I love it! Are you and I the only one that knows reindeer moss? 😂 Stay safe!
The show Yellowstone got old real quick-True to Hollywood it is nothing like Montana or Yellowstone-I grew up in Montana-Western Montana was particularly beautiful this year and the fires were way down 🚌🇺🇸
This year was our first visit to Montana. You’re very lucky to be from such a beautiful and adventurous state! We fell in love with it! Glad we could be there with fewer fires! Thank you for watching!

Absolutely stunning scenery folks, this presentation is just masterfully executed!
Thank you so much! Ken gets the credit for that! Thank you for watching!
I will always carry bear spray and my Glock 20.
Great video.
Thanks
Yes we always carry :-). 10MM interesting caliber!!
@@TheRoadSMITHS Yes, just for bears while fly fishing, hiking and such.
Not as a EDC (Everyday carry)
We have seen some hilarious Yellowstone memes lately. We've never explored this area. We will age to get there one day.
Lol yes, some people are so creative! It was a fun place to explore! Hoping our roads cross and we can meet up one day! Thank you for watching!
My husband and I got hooked on Yellowstone and would love to add this trip! Thanks for sharing👍

Haha Fun video guys. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and I hope you're already south of the weather. Rock on RoadSmiths!
Thanks and thanks for watching!!...Yes we are much further south now!!
Fun video! Beautiful hiking trails. The train station comment made me lol. 😂😂
Thank you so much for watching and for following along! Haha Ken’s pretty quick witted! He makes me laugh all the time! 😂
Great video guys- Looks like you guys were having so much fun. I really thought there would be a Rip sighting

As a resident of the Bitterroot, we are ready for the show to be over
I am sure...brings too many tourists I bet. But it sure is beautiful there!!

Sorry...we are not following what you mean...can you clarify what you are referring to? Thanks
That looks like the train station on Yellowstone!
Haha...this article talks about it. tasteofcountry.com/is-the-train-station-on-yellowstone-real/
I wonder if the song by John Denver "Wild Montana Skies" is referring to that bitter root valley?
That’s a good question…could be! We absolutely love Montana! Thank you for watching! Stay safe!
I'm from the Bitterroot. The first line of the song; he was born in the Bitterroot valley.
John Denver spent time in the Bitterroot.
@@msatlatlleague I kind of thought that! I grew up with his music. Our dogs are named Annie and Denver, though not after Annie Denver.
