Yellowstone is expected to open mid-April. As conditions allow, sightings will begin expanding there as well.
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.
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.
There had to be a better way.
This is not a shortcut to “closer.”
This is a shortcut to “better.”
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.
Plan tomorrow tonight.
Keep wildlife wild.
