This podcast is an introduction to Explore Yellowstone Like a Local for all those out there who are deciding if they want to buy a Guidebook and start listening to the Podcasts.

I first discuss how simple it is to use and understand the guidebook and how you don't have to read the entire guidebook, just the chapters that cover the certain things that you want to do on your Yellowstone vacation. We then cover how the Guidebook saves you TIME and MONEY and tell you some stories that past visitors sent us after they got home of how much Money and Time they saved by following my tips and suggestions.

I then go over my families history in the area which dates back to at least 1919 when my Grandfather started bringing my dad and his two brothers to the area and whose love of Yellowstone was passed on from generation to generation. I follow that up with a lot of big additions and fun things the guidebook has in it besides getting you to the best of the best in both Yellowstone and Grand Teton including monthly drawings for prizes and gift certificates you can use on your Yellowstone vacation.

I finally read you guys an excerpt from the guidebook which gives you a taste of how the guidebook is written when telling you about some of the wonderful areas that I have been visiting my whole life and which now the guidebook gets you to as well.

Announcing the Yellowstone Drive Guide App for the 2025 season and beyond. The YDG App will change the way people visit Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks by escorting them through the parks like never before.

Not only will the app escort you through both parks, it also covers all the roads leading to the parks and no matter if you fly into any of the airports that surround the park or drive in from any direction, the YDG App will pick up and tell you everything that is out in front of you so you don't miss a thing outside the parks as well as inside the parks.

Launching in January of 2025, the YDG App will also have an AI, Artificial Intelligence feature where during your planning stages, you can ask me any question you want and I will answer it through our new AI addition. And you will know that you are getting the best possible information for your trip because it's coming from Teddy Garland who is one of the most foremost authorities on Yellowstone. The AI feature is very complicated and will take a bit longer to get launched so look for it later this spring.

When used in conjunction with our top rated guidebook Explore Yellowstone Like a Local, you are guaranteed to have a great Yellowstone vacation.

In this podcast, I cover 3 great roads that are all shown on the Yellowstone park map they hand you when you go through the gate. However, these roads skirt the Northern and then Southern Boundaries of Yellowstone Park and hardly anyone even knows they exist but they all offer some great and seldom seen sections of roads inside Yellowstone Park as well as just outside it's Western Boundary.

We cover all the great things to see from West Yellowstone north on 191 which actually goes inside the park without any fees or traffic and a suggested 55MPH speed limit which gets you to some of the best hiking spots in the park as well as Big Sky and then I tell you about the best of Bozeman including where they film scenes from the show Yellowstone with Kevins Costner.

We then hit 287 as it exits Yellowstone Park and I get you to the best breakfast in the US and then along the driving tour of the worst natural disaster to ever hit the US where you will be driving on the top of 28 bodies under the road.

We then hit the Flagg Ranch Road which runs from Ashton Idaho right along the souther boundary of Yellowstone Park all the way to the South Entry gate. We hit the fantastic Bechler area which is my favorite part of Yellowstone as well as discussing the Zone Of Death where you can (theoretically I hope) commit murder and actually get away with it!

Its all big fun on some seldom seen roads both inside and right outside Yellowstone Park that get you to some of the best spots in the Worlds First National Park.
