Fan Creek Area Day Hike - Yellowstone National Park - May 22
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- This is a hike in the Fan Creek/Fawn Pass area to see what kind of wildlife is around this time of year. The original plan was to hike over to Bighorn but a grizzly bear prevented me from going that way so I went over the the Fan Creek area.

I find myself bending forward to see over the incline sometimes......love your videos!
Stan the Man thank you for the videos! The variety of wildlife you have captured here is terrific. This to me is real Yellowstone as opposed to the regular tourist circuit most of us experience.
Very much appreciate the extra time it takes you to label flora and fauna, and then the time to upload your awesome videos!👍👍
Thank you thank you so much .
I haven't gotten to the mountains or valys this year due to work and health issue . Today just long for nature and remembered your vids and looked you up .been watching for a hour now .
They all I wonderfully , so naturel . The filming of the otters was so cool , so naturel . Not set up . And too hear them gruff .
I love your vids to because I don't have to watch them I can listen to them and they are soothing , the sound of natural water , birds, wind . Oh my . Thank you for sharing .
Nancy, thank you for your nice comments. Not very many people watch this video and it is hard to show how great this hike really was in a video. I don’t get many hikes like this one with all the different wildlife in one hike. It was a magical day. I have not had one day like it this year. For some reason I have not seen as much wildlife and I have only seen 17 backcountry bears this summer. I have seen as many as 40 before but never so few like this year.
It's amazing that you're able to observe from so far away, some zoom you got there !
Great video 😎
You sure had a great variety of animals on this really nice day hike .that grizzly bear was really having a time digging away. Loved all the bright wild flowers, and I had never seen a nest of duck eggs , great video enjoyed it very much thank you.
I love your channel,the Bears are amazing,but honestly the small animals and birds are just as beautiful
Thanks for identifying the flowers.
I really enjoy your gift of capturing some of the most amazing natural wonders the majority of folks will never see in person. What a fantastic day. Thank you.
Hi Stan, just started watching your video in Yellowstone this springtime. Fantastic how you are capturing so much wildlife to show us. I was in those areas June 2018. Just gorgeous
You were obliging, Stan, and shared with me the name of the equipment that you use to capture those long range shots. I was amazed that you do such great work with an inexpensive (relatively) Canon camera. Shows once again that it's the photographer first and then the equipment.
ahhh the otters (?) the cutest !
Yes!!! They are always adorable.
Fan Creek has lovely fishing for cutthroats. Next time, I'll carry bear spray.
Wow! How did you spot that duck nest?!?!? You consistently amaze me with your wilderness talents! Keep it up, this is definitely one of the most interesting channels on this increasingly bad web site. You keep me here though, and I thank you!!!
Thank you very much for your nice comments. I am hiking in a manner to spot the wildlife and try not to scare it away. Unfortunately the mother duck spotted me first and flew off so I know that the only reason she would have been up in the trees like that was because she had a nest. So I stuck my camera in there and sure enough there was a nest. Thanks again for your comments.
@@StanMills I'm pretty sure I can speak for the rest of the folks who view your posts, we sure do enjoy every second of your content and have the utmost appreciation for what you do! I'm like most, I have a decent job, it makes enough to live but that's about it. The problem is that's not living. Being surrounded by so much raw beauty of the natural world and yet being unable to see it in person hurts very much. Especially knowing how quickly the greedy folks are destroying it to make a dollar. You have the ability to do what I would like to. Not only that but you are incredibly knowledgeable about it all and today's tech allows you to share it with us so well, I'm very grateful that you take the time to do so!!! Truly, from my wild and wildlife loving heart, thank you very much for sharing the near untamed power of Yellowstone with us! Thank you!!!!
Always wondered about Fan Creek. You should get up Tepee Creek when you get a chance. Wait for the wild flowers to start glowing. Thanks Stan!
Paul, Teepee Creek is a great place to go. I am waiting for the snow to clear up more so I can make at least a day hike out of it. I do have a video called “Teepee Creek” and in it I see 2 grizzlies up close and several black bear. All in the same day on Teepee Creek.
we went to yellowstone may 4-13 had a great trip saw it all didn't hike but walked and drove and stopped saw all animals fun trip!
Totally cool.
11:00. That area next to that pond is a killing field lol
you: Ohhhhhh a bear I want to watch it.
Me: UUMM goodbye! (While running)
It seems grizzlies skipped that class that they were to learn to fill the holes they dug once they were done with them. 🤔
My wife and I are going to Yellowstone and Grand Teton in September. We look forward to doing some of the hikes and seeing the wildlife and scenery God has provided. I see some of the items you utilize during your exploration listed. I did go ahead and purchased one of the Vortex scopes, which so far I believe is great. Do have a couple of questions on the gaiters, what brand are they? And do you recommend them as a real need as we will only be there for two weeks? Also we are worried about fording some of the creeks and keeping our feet dry?
Jerry, the gaiters are from REI and are the best ones they sell. They don’t say anything on them other than REI. They are thick, tall, and have both Velcro and snaps and loop straps. But you may notice I wear them all the time so I need something that will hold up for a long time. Here is why I wear them. Along with the totally waterproof Kenetrek boots the gaiters extends up to my knees. So as long as I cross creeks fast they keep me dry in water that is deeper than my boots. Reason 2 is Ticks. They fit tight around the boot so ticks can’t get in. Reason 3 is sticker weeds. There is a certain kind of weed and a certain kind of grass that has terrible stickers that will stick to your clothing and ruin your hike if you don’t wear the right stuff. They will be out when things start to dry out. I see a good crop of them growing in the Yellowstone area right now. Those gaiters have a very tough material 100% nylon so nothing sticks. This is only a concern if you hike off trail like I do. But if you are going to hike on well used trails (trails that you actually see multiple people on while you are hiking) then you probably have no need for gaiters. I hope you have a great time visiting. Thank you for your comments.
Thank you very much for your quick reply and explanation! Will be checking into the gaiters, ticks are very bad this year so those will be good here locally as well. Stan, keep the awesome videos coming!
It's like they were smelling you as something unusual.
Wonderful as always Thank you! Did that otter have hickups or just otter talk?
Minute 9 Cinnamon Teal was a beautiful shot. How the hell do you only have 862 Subscribers? Not a perfect world I guess
Stan likely hiked over the long weekend and has another great video coming. Glad to see he picked up some subscribers on this one. Sad state of affairs here in the northeast. Good weather over the holiday weekend and campgrounds and hiking areas mostly deserted. Although most claim to love nature, few appear to indulge in it regularly. I feel like a minority in a forgein country at times! Montana bound in a few weeks!

What camera are you using?
Do you ever fish any of these streams?
Wondering what kind of hawk that was?
The garbage stories makes no sense
Sorry, I should have been much more clear. What I was saying was that this is not a very good track so it is hard to determine if it is a grizzly or black bear track. There is a rule to remember about tracks; GIGO - garbage in garbage out. You have to have good information about the track before you can make a determination as to what animal made it. If you don’t have a good track then don’t try to say what it is.
