Episode 3
Finding the upper head waters of the Yellowstone River in Wyoming on horseback. This journey will take us through the Bridger Teton & Shoshone Wildernesses. Up and over Deer Creek Pass down into the Thoroughfare Drainage to the Yellowstone River and Bridger Lake. Then up the river to the head waters where water starts on the mighty Yellowstone River. Then we will travel across the Buffalo Plateau and down Marston Pass to the South Fork of the Shoshone River, and travel out along the Canyons of the Shoshone River that Buffalo Bill help build in the 1880s
This will be a 3 episode video to show the massive journey it took to reach the head waters of the Yellowstone River where water starts and journey back. I tried to make a short version video of this journey but could not. It was just too wild, too big, and too grand of a landscape. So please watch all three episodes and enjoy this trip or Journey, to find the head waters of the Yellowstone River as we did.
We traveled by horseback over 3 mountain passes, three water sheds like the Yellowstone River that lead to the Missouri River. Head waters of the Snake River to the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean. Also the Shoshone River that continues down to the Yellowstone and Missouri Rivers. We traveled by horseback 126 miles in some of the wildest county in the lower 48 starts. Enjoy our journey on the biggest screen you have.

Some of the most beautiful country God has given us. Thank you for taking us on such a beautiful trip.

You did a fine job gathering footage on this ride. I watched all 3 episodes. The clarity made the scenery stand out life like. Crossing those boulder fields was quite something. Great trip with no wrecks. Riding the rim of Heaven.

I was so happy to see another beautiful video from you. With such a steady hand you show us the most gorgeous landscape and, what it's like to be on a real trail ride. I always look forward to the next one. blessings

Absolutely fantastic ! The scenery is truly amazing and your camera work is second to none ! Your love of life in the wilderness and your care and love for your animals really comes through in these videos. We can’t wait to come over from the UK again in the spring and drive down to that Cabin Creek trailhead and hopefully take some areal photographs of those stunning mountains up above the Shoshone river. That forest fire of 12 years ago must of been terrible. Such a good video, think we will watch it again. Best wishes and stay safe…Des and Shirley.

Wow, I just got done watching this 3rd video. Beautiful country. Thanks again for taking me along.
-
What I find so fascinating about the entire trip is someone went and built those trails by hand through all of that insane terrain.
-
the sounds and your comments really bring the video to life; sounds of birds, the running waters, the thunder and all is wondrous
-
Nice very nice! Some of the terrain looked really sketchy, the shale and rocks must have been tough on the horses. I would have been holding my breath on some of those trails.
-
Kudos to the photographer. Those still Picts are absolutely beautiful.
-
Thanks for sharing your adventure…enjoyed the three episodes tremendously. Seeing it from the highway is one thing but from the back country view and the camping plus going thru the mountains makes it even more special to watch. Bravo guys!,, 🇹🇹 👏👍🍻

Thank you guys and gals for bringing us along on this journey. The scenery and landscapes are beautiful! Man some of these trail's were perilous and challenging to say the least. Very interesting how you describe the Continental Divide and what Wild Bill Cody had do to make those game trails. I was at the devastation the forest fire did and how the trees haven't grown. It's sad for sure.
