Still Called West | Part 4 | A Place You Feel

(Filmed in September 2025.)
Yellowstone doesn’t ask to be rushed. These two days are about staying put, returning to places in different light, and letting the park reveal itself a little at a time. The miles matter less now than the moments between them.

Reentering the park feels quieter this time. Familiar places slow you down on a second pass, less about seeing something new and more about noticing what’s already there. The ground is still active in places, still shifting, still unfinished. Some moments carry weight. Others arrive without warning.

Plans loosen as the time stretches out. Wildlife appears when it wants to. Roads lead somewhere unexpected. Early mornings give way to busier places and constant motion, reminders that Yellowstone is never just one thing at a time.

These are the days where Yellowstone stops feeling new and starts feeling familiar. Not smaller, but more personal. A place you don’t just see, but feel.

Day 6–7
• Mammoth Hot Springs and Porcelain Basin
• Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
• Unplanned wildlife encounters and detours
• Artist Point at sunrise
• West Thumb Geyser Basin
• Old Faithful and Grand Prismatic Spring

About the Series
Still Called West is a 9-part travel vlog and documentary filmed across 17 days and 6 national parks. This series follows the road as it unfolds; from early miles and quiet towns to mountains, canyons, and places that still feel wild. The trip became a chance to visit new parks and reconnect with the part of me that fell in love with landscape photography.
