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

What shapes your route

4 Decisions That Shape a Better Wildlife Day.

These four choices give the planner what it needs to shape your day. From there, it adds recent sightings, field notes, directions, scenic stops, safety guidance, and a backup move.

  1. Starting Point

    Where should your day begin?

    Use where you are, what you want to see, and how much time you have to choose a practical first move.

  2. Timing

    When should you be there?

    Build the route around the better hours for the wildlife you care about instead of guessing at the timing.

  3. Field Context

    What should you watch for?

    Use habitat, animal behavior, recent sightings, and firsthand field notes to understand what matters once you arrive.

  4. Backup Move

    What if the day changes?

    Keep another move ready when traffic, weather, crowds, or quiet wildlife change your original plan.

What the route makes room for

The Route Is the Beginning. The Moment Is the Reason.

The planner gives your day direction, then leaves room for the park to surprise you. The goal is not to get closer. It is to know where to look, when to stop, and how to give wildlife room to stay wild.

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 864 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.
