See What You Get

Turn a Moose Day Into a Plan You Can Actually Follow.

Choose Grand Teton, tell the planner where your day begins, make moose a priority, and add the time you have. Instead of opening a map and wondering what to do next, you get a practical route built around those choices.

  • Where your day begins
  • Moose as a wildlife priority
  • The time you actually have
  • A clear first move + backup plan

From there, the planner adds recent dated field observations, firsthand field notes, directions, scenic stops, and another move when traffic, weather, crowds, or quiet wildlife change the day.

Before You Start Driving

4 Decisions That Shape a Better Moose Day.

These are not the only things the planner helps with. They are the four choices that tell it how to shape your day. From there, it adds recent moose observations, field notes, directions, scenic stops, safety guidance, and a backup move.

  1. Starting Point

    Where should you start looking?

    Use where your day begins, the time you have, and firsthand field context to choose a practical first move instead of crisscrossing the park.

  2. Timing

    When should you make the move?

    Build around the better wildlife hours and the time you actually have instead of burning the morning or evening guessing where to go.

  3. Field Context

    What should you look for once you arrive?

    Use habitat, moose behavior, seasonal patterns, recent observations, and firsthand field notes to understand what matters once you arrive.

  4. Backup Move

    What if the first area is quiet?

    Have another move ready when wildlife, traffic, weather, or crowds change the plan, so you are not starting over from scratch.

Built From the Field

This Is Field Knowledge, Not Another List of Pins.

Where The Wild Beasts Roam is built from 14 years in Yellowstone and Grand Teton and thousands of days watching how wildlife uses the landscape. That field experience is turned into something you can actually use when you are deciding where to begin, what to watch for, and what to do when the first move changes.

  • 14 Years Learning these parks in the field
  • Thousands Of field days behind the planner
  • Firsthand Dated wildlife observations and field notes
  • Habitat and seasonal context that helps you read moose country
  • Timing and behavior cues that help you know what matters
  • Recent dated observations instead of undated popular-stop lists
  • Responsible viewing context so the animal still gets room

The planner does not live-track wildlife or promise a sighting. It gives you a smarter place to begin and better field context once you get there.

You Probably Already Have a Map

A Map Shows You Where Things Are. This Helps You Decide What to Do.

Keep the tools you already use. Where The Wild Beasts Roam is built for the decision the other tools leave to you: where should your wildlife day actually begin, and what should you do next?

Official Park Tools

Maps, alerts, closures, services

Essential official information for navigating the park and checking current conditions before you drive.

Tours + Guides

Narration, places, things to notice

Useful context and sightseeing information while you move through the park.

WTWBR

A wildlife day built around you

Your starting point, time, wildlife priorities, recent firsthand observations, field context, directions, scenic stops, and a backup move become one practical plan.

You do not need another map. You need a better first move and enough context to know what to do when the park does not follow your plan.

Both parks. One clear wildlife plan.

Hard-Earned Field Knowledge You Can Take With You

Written by professional wildlife photographer and experienced tracker Packy Savvenas, these downloadable guides share field cues, tracking habits, and photography techniques learned through 14 years and thousands of field days.

The Wildlife-First Way

Find the Wild. Let It Stay Wild.

The planner does more than point to wildlife. It helps you read the country, use safe pullouts, give animals room, and know when to move on. You get a better wildlife day without taking the wild out of it.

  • Read the Country
  • Use Safe, Legal Pullouts
  • Give Wildlife Room
  • Know When to Move On

Straight answers

A Few Things to Know Before You Go.

The planner helps you build a practical wildlife day, understand the country, and make better choices around animals. It does not track live wildlife or guarantee a sighting.

Give wildlife room and check official park conditions before every drive. Stay at least 25 yards from most wildlife and 100 yards from bears and wolves. Roads, closures, weather, alerts, and access can change.

What do I get for the one-time $29 payment?

One $29 payment gives you lifetime access to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton planner. Build a route around where you start, what you want to see, and how much time you have, or open the full map and choose every stop yourself.

You also get 870 dated wildlife field entries , firsthand field notes, filters, directions, scenic and historic stops, a finished plan you can save or print, two downloadable field guides, and future core planner updates. There is no subscription or renewal.

How does the planner support responsible wildlife viewing?

The planner uses habitat, season, timing, recent field observations, legal pullouts, and firsthand field context instead of sending everyone toward a live pin. It helps you know where to look, what behavior to watch for, when to give more room, and when to move on.

The goal is simple: help you find the wild without taking the wild out of it.

Are the wildlife entries live?

No. Every entry is dated and added after fieldwork to show what has been happening in the parks. Some observations may be delayed or made less precise so one animal does not become a destination for a crowd.

Wildlife moves, so no field entry or suggested route can guarantee a sighting.

What if I have no idea where to begin?

Tell the planner which park you are visiting, where your day begins, which wildlife matters most, how much time you have, and when you plan to go. It turns those choices into a practical route with a clear first move, directions, scenic stops, field context, and a backup when the day changes.

Can I choose every stop myself?

Yes. Open the full map, choose Yellowstone or Grand Teton, and select the wildlife you care about. Then use filters, field entries, notes, directions, and scenic and historic Places to Explore to shape the route your way.

What happens when I lose cell service?

Save your finished route as a PDF on your phone or print it before you drive. Once the PDF is saved to your device, your plan stays with you even when cell service is weak or unavailable.

The saved plan includes your first move, why the route fits, directions, scenic stops, field context, and a backup move.

Is Where The Wild Beasts Roam part of the parks or a charity?

No. Where The Wild Beasts Roam is an independent wildlife-planning business. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Park Service, Yellowstone National Park, or Grand Teton National Park.

Your $29 payment purchases lifetime planner access. It is not a donation or a tax-deductible contribution. Your purchase supports continued fieldwork, route updates, product development, and free wildlife-safety education.

What does the 30-day guarantee cover?

If the planner does not help you build a clearer wildlife plan for your trip, email within 30 days of purchase for a refund. The guarantee covers the planning product, not whether wildlife appears during your visit.
