What this video covers
Ryan and Kelsey, liveaboards in their mid-20s preparing their sailboat Lucy for a bluewater circumnavigation, document a cross-country road trip through Glacier National Park, Yellowstone, and the Grand Tetons during hurricane season while Lucy sits docked. At Glacier, they hike 5.6 miles to Cracker Lake, aiming for a round trip under three hours; Ryan drinks directly from the glacier and falls on the descent while carrying the camera, cutting himself.▶ 6:05 At Yellowstone they cover the major geyser circuit — including Steamboat Geyser, described as the world's tallest at 90–120 metres, and Old Faithful — but limit hiking to tourist walks after logging over 15 miles the previous day.▶ 7:55 Their dog Rue is barred from most trails, restricting options throughout.▶ 8:33 They spend a night with two Yellowstone bear-management rangers, Greg and Kelly, who brief them on bear encounters: stand ground, yell, don't run.▶ 10:05 At the Grand Tetons they camp free about 15 minutes outside the park, swim in Jackson Lake, and meet two of Kelsey's friends.▶ 12:26 The return route runs Tetons to Denver (8 hours), Denver to St. Louis (12 hours), then St. Louis to New Jersey for a family beach week before returning to Lucy to finish remaining refit projects ahead of a January departure.▶ 13:22
