Built for real park days
Park maps show the roads. This planner uses your starting point, wildlife choices, and available time to suggest where to begin, when to go, and what to do when the day changes.
Why new sightings matter
Seasons, weather, food, and habitat change where wildlife spends time. New sightings help the planner keep up.
What the planner works through
Answer four simple questions, then get a route that fits your day.
Choose the first area that fits where you are, what you want to see, and how much time you have.
Plan around the better hours for the wildlife you care about.
Use habitat, field notes, and recent sightings to know what matters.
Have another move ready when traffic, weather, crowds, or wildlife change the day.
What you are really planning for
The planner cannot promise a sighting. It helps you spend less time guessing and more time in the country where moments like these can happen.

Quick answers
The planner helps you choose where to begin and how to shape the day. It does not track live animals or promise a sighting.
Check official park updates before every drive. Roads, closures, weather, alerts, and access can change after you build a route.
Your $29 payment gives you lifetime access to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton planner. Get a suggested route based on your day, or open the full map and build your own.
You also get 811 wildlife field entries, field notes, filters, directions, Places to Explore, two field books, and future updates to the core planner. There is no monthly fee or yearly renewal.
Recent observations are added after ongoing fieldwork and help shape the map, field notes, and suggested routes. The planner also draws on more than 14 years in Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
It is not live tracking. Entries may be delayed or made less exact, and no route can promise where an animal will be.
Choose Help Me Choose. Tell the planner where your day starts, which wildlife matters, how much time you have, and when you plan to go. It suggests a route, explains why it fits, adds Places to Explore when they belong along the drive, and gives you a backup move when the day changes.
