Two Simple Ways to Plan
Tell the planner where your day starts, which wildlife matters to you, how much time you have, and when you plan to go. Get a suggested Yellowstone or Grand Teton route, or open the full map and build your own. Built from 14+ years in the field for people exploring in their own vehicle and on their own time.
You drive. You choose the stops. You can change the plan at any time.
One payment. Both parks. No monthly or yearly fee.
Start With Help Me Choose
Tell the planner where you start, which wildlife matters to you, how much time you have, and when you plan to go. It uses those answers to suggest a Yellowstone or Grand Teton route. Use the suggested route as it is, or open the full map and build your own.
Help Me Choose
You do not need to know which park, road, or route to choose before you begin. Make four simple choices. The planner suggests a route and explains why it may fit your day.
Still deciding where to stay? Compare cities, park entrances, and nearby exits before you book. See how each starting area could change your wildlife drive.
Want to choose everything yourself?
Open the full map and choose the park, wildlife, starting point, route, and field entries yourself. The sections below show how each part works.
Start with Yellowstone or Grand Teton. The map will show routes and wildlife entries for the park you choose.
Select the animals that matter to your trip. The filters clear away the other entries so the map is easier to read.
Pick a starting point and a route that fits the time you have. You do not have to sort through every park road at once.
Learn why an area matters, where to look from the road, and how the stop fits with the rest of your route.
Start with Yellowstone or Grand Teton. This keeps the map focused on one park, so the routes, wildlife entries, field notes, and direction links are easier to use. You can switch parks at any time.
You choose which park fits your trip. This step does not tell you that one park is better. It simply shows the routes and field information for the park you choose.
Pick the park you want to plan.
This is a page example. You can switch parks again inside the full wildlife planner.
Pick one animal or choose several.
Try the filters. This page example does not change the full map.
Bison, Moose, and Grizzly Bears selectedA day focused on moose may call for a different route than a day focused on bears, bison, or wolves. Choose the animals you care about so the map becomes quieter, clearer, and easier to use.
Set the place where your drive begins, then open a route that fits the wildlife day you are building. The route gives your day a clear shape while you still choose the stops, how long to stay, and when to change the plan.
Set your starting point, then open one route to review.
Routes to consider
Try the starting point and route choices. This page example does not open the full wildlife map.
Antelope Flats Pronghorn Drive selected, starting from JacksonAntelope Flats, Grand Teton
Open sage and grassland give you long views across the flats. Legal pullouts also make this area easier to include as one stop along a larger wildlife route.
Bison may be spread across the flats in smaller groups instead of standing in one large herd. Stop only at legal pullouts. Scan both sides of the road, then look farther into the sage before deciding whether to keep moving.
Treat this area as one part of the route, not a promised wildlife stop. Drive slowly, scan the wider flats, and continue when traffic or crowds begin to build.
Follow current park distance rules. Use legal pullouts, stay well back from the herd, and never block the road or walk between animals.
A pin only shows you where an area is. The field note explains why the area may matter, where to look from the road, and how the stop fits with the rest of your route. You get the field knowledge behind the location, not just another pin on a map.
Before you start driving
Cell service can disappear quickly inside the parks. Open your route and the field notes you may need while you still have a strong connection. This can help you stay prepared, but the planner is not a full offline map or navigation tool.
Planning, not chasing
The map helps you organize a wildlife drive around routes, habitat, and field context. It does not tell you where an animal is right now or promise one will be there.
Keep wildlife wild. Use legal pullouts, follow current park distance rules, and back away whenever your presence changes an animal’s behavior.
