Straight answers
The planner can suggest a route based on your starting point, wildlife interests, available time, and time of day. You can also take control of the full map and shape the plan yourself. These are the practical details worth knowing before you purchase.
Check official park information before every drive. Roads, closures, alerts, weather, and conditions can change after a route is planned.
You get the full Yellowstone and Grand Teton wildlife route planner. It can use your starting point, wildlife interests, available time, and time of day to suggest a route that fits your answers.
You also get the full map controls, including 697 wildlife field entries , species filters, suggested routes, field notes, and directions. Two downloadable field guides and future improvements to the core planner are included.
No. Start with the city or nearby exit where your day begins. Then choose the wildlife that matters to you, how much time you have, and when you expect to go.
The planner connects those choices to a suggested Yellowstone or Grand Teton route and explains why it fits. It recommends a planning match. It does not predict where wildlife will be.
Yes. The suggested-route flow is optional. You can open the full planner and choose the park, starting point, wildlife filters, and route yourself.
From there, open the field entries, read the notes, and use directions when an area makes sense for the drive you are building.
You should still use them. Google Maps or another navigation service can help you drive, and official National Park Service sources are the right place for current roads, closures, alerts, rules, and park information.
Where The Wild Beasts Roam does a different job. It turns your starting point, wildlife interests, and available time into a wildlife route to consider, then adds the field context behind the areas along that drive.
No. Wildlife information is delayed and may be generalized. The planner does not show where an animal is right now or send visitors to an active sighting.
Wildlife moves freely, and weather, timing, traffic, road conditions, human pressure, and chance can all change the day. The route gives you a more informed starting point. It does not promise an animal will be there.
No. This is a self-service planning tool for visitors driving themselves.
It does not include transportation, a human guide, optics, live interpretation, turn-by-turn navigation, or safety supervision. Use a reliable navigation tool and current official park information alongside the planner.
The map includes preparation tools that can help load the routes, field information, and available map tiles you expect to use before you enter weak coverage.
Prepare the map while you still have a strong connection. Offline behavior can still depend on your device, browser, storage, and what has been prepared, so keep a separate offline navigation option and official park information available.

No. The $59 price is one payment. There is no monthly or annual subscription.
The 30-day planning guarantee begins on the purchase date. If the planner does not help you plan with more confidence, email within 30 days of purchase for a refund. The guarantee applies to the usefulness of the planning tool, not to whether wildlife appears during your trip.
