  • This is a nice day hike that you can do in the spring and summer. I am doing it now to see if there is any evidence of grizzly activity in this area. But in the summer you will have a good chance of seeing a bear in this area. This hike started off at about 10 degrees below zero Fahrenheit which makes for good snowshoeing. It took about 6.5 hours to do this 7 mile hike. Daly creek is in Yellowstone National Park.

    You can really feel through the video how strenuous a hike that was. Well done Stan

      It is. I would say it is between 2 to 3 times harder than hiking on dry ground. Thank you for your comment.

    Thank you, Stan! I love the winter up there. My one winter time was fab. If your wrapped well in the right clothing, you can get hot hiking or xc skiing for sure. I loved the blowing snow in my face while our group did xc. Such a great winter playground. Pristine and quiet.
    Enjoy!

    Love seeing Yellowstone in the wintertime & all the animal tracks. I visited the Daly Creek Cabin back over the summer. A decent-sized storm was popping up and I sat on that bench for a bit but it didn't start raining so I decided to carry on. Was hoping to make it a few miles farther to my campsite WF1 before it came down. Soon after I left the rain started and I had to tough it out underneath a tree instead of the porch overhang - regretted that decision!

    Really a great video. Takes me back when a friend and I snowshoed up in the High Sierra in January. Just hiked till we couldn’t go any further. Made camp and enjoyed the outdoors. That was back in 1974. My hat is off to you doing what wish I could still do!

      Part of the problem may be that I never dresses warm enough when I was in NYC. I just didn’t expect it to be so cold there.

      Thank you. Yes, it is a good workout. Workout more than anything else because there are few animals to see. But even if it is hard, it is good to be out in Gods beautiful places and experience the peaceful quiet.
