    I've always been fascinated with history and rail travel here in America so last year we decided to take a vacation inspired by the late 1800's: a rail adventure to Yellowstone National Park! Check the description for details on how you could do the same. Hope you all enjoy!

I've come to your channel just within the last few months (Thanks Battlefield 5), and I have watched a great deal of your videos. You have a woefully underrated channel, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into your content, there's not a single video I've seen that I haven't enjoyed, and I suspect there never will be. Thanks for the great footage and excellent production, and I wish you the best for the future!

    Our trip to Yellowstone was a good and bad experience. First after getting off the flight at Salt Lake City airport and went to pick up our rental car at NU rental car near the airport, we were scammed by the rental company . The office woman told us the car we rented through Hotwire is not allowed to the state Wyoming where Yellowstone National park located unless we pay more and upgrade our compact car to 4 wheel drive SUV . The price of the upgrade is 410 dollars extra that is double the price of Hotwire listed price. So we are in their hostage because if we don’t pay it we don’t go. Finally we were left with no other choice but agree to pay. To make the story short we enjoyed the whole trip to Yellowstone and the surrounding areas liked The city of Jackson and Grand Teton park. My bad experience did not end there. On our trip back to San Francesco we purposely took the Amtrak instead of flying . That was a big mistake. We boarded the train depot at Salt Lake City ,about 4 hours after departing the station the freight train in front broke down and died on the only track for more 20 hours. So instead of only taking 17 hours trip it took us for a total of 37 hours on a coach seat with no shower or meals. The main complain on this trip is the car rental company NU Rental Company who scammed us 410 dollars . Watch out for this company even though it has the lowest bid in the first sign but you will pay much more in the end.
