Yellowstone is expected to open mid-April. As conditions allow, sightings will begin expanding there as well.

About

Most people come here to see wildlife.

I built this for people who want to understand it, without wrecking it.

Before the first turnout fills up, the valley is already awake.
Frost on the grass. Steam on the river. Wings in the dark.
This is when the park is honest.

They call me the Greek Mountain Man.

I’m out there day after day observing movement, watching patterns, and documenting what wildlife is doing across the landscape.

Fourteen years of watching wolves, bears, moose, and elk across Yellowstone and Grand Teton have taught me one thing: the animals are rarely where the crowds are.

How this Helps

This is an independent online planning tool built from delayed field observations in Yellowstone and Grand Teton.

Recent wildlife observations with context and date stamps

Notes that help you read behavior, not just spot bodies

Safety and ethics guidance so you stay calm, legal, and respectful

This is not a shortcut to “closer.”
This is a shortcut to “better.”

THE MAP IS NOT LIVE, ON PURPOSE

I do not post live sightings.

Observations are shared after I’m out of the field, within 12-48 hours, including date stamps. The delay prevents crowds from gathering around wildlife while animals are feeding, resting, traveling, or raising young.

You get a planning advantage without summoning a crowd.

That delay is part of the ethics.

THE STANDARD

The goal is simple.
Keep wildlife wild, and your story stays beautiful.

This project is built around published wildlife viewing guidance used in Yellowstone and Grand Teton. This is an independent online planning tool built from delayed field observations. It is not a guided tour, workshop, or live tracking service.

Keep wildlife wild.
