Yellowstone National Park - Black Canyon-Buffalo Plateau-Slough Creek | 4-day Backpacking Report

This is the full length trip report with natural sounds and on-trail commentary from a trip that I took to Yellowstone National Park in July 2023. I hiked a route that included Black Canyon, Yellowstone River, Hellroaring Creek, Coyote Creek, Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, Buffalo Plateau, Buffalo Creek, Slough Creek and more.
Starting from Blacktail Creek Trailhead the route totaled around 37 miles. My campsites were 1Y8, 2C1 & in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness.

You can see skeeters swarming the camera/me nearly the entire trip!

Stay farther away from the bears than I did!

Buffalo Patrol Cabin looks like Your possible 'Yellowstone Home Away From Home' 😊

[@LayneComfort]

That would be a nice home for me if they allowed it!

[@ervinslens]

Outstanding hike man, what a opening!

[@LayneComfort]

Thanks Erv! Yellowstone brings that magic like nowhere else

[@jasonkamm5537]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your trips. I would love to do some more trips in the Beartooths someday. Did most of the Beaten Path trail in the Beartooths a few years ago and that was breathtaking. Looking forward to some Glacier National Park videos from you in the future.

[@LayneComfort]

Thanks for the support Jason! I hope to spend more time up that Beartooths way as well. I’ve got some awesome Glacier adventures filmed and aim to release them over the summer while I’m guiding up there

Terrifying and exciting bear encounter! Yes! That pilot was a member of the Layne Fan Club. He was going to catch a glimpse of his hero, FAA be damned.

[@LayneComfort]

Too funny Seth! I got a lol out of that one. Maybe I should offer a meet and greet package so fans don’t have to go to such great lengths

[@PopPopTN]

Well, THAT was nerve-wracking! After the bear incident, how far did you have to walk before you could change your underwear? Great job! Thanks!

[@LayneComfort]

Well it was about a mile before I turned the camera back on! It was definitely a nerve-wracking encounter. The magic of Yellowstone!
