Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers to common questions about YellowRoam.
What is YellowRoam, and how is it different from other travel guides or apps?
YellowRoam is a personalized travel assistant for the Yellowstone region. Unlike generic apps, it gives you local-style guidance—from fly fishing tips and campground advice to real-time trail updates—all curated by locals and powered by AI. It's like having a knowledgeable friend who knows the backroads and hot springs by heart.
How does YellowRoam work—do I need to download anything, or can I use it online?
You can use YellowRoam right from your browser—no downloads required. You can also save it to your home screen for fast access. It’s instant answers with a local tone, any time.
Is YellowRoam powered by AI, or am I talking to real locals?
YellowRoam uses a curated local databse loaded with regional knowledge and updated by local experts. That means you get lightning-fast answers that feel human and grounded.
Can I use YellowRoam without cell service inside Yellowstone?
Some features may be limited without service, but if you preload answers, maps, or tips while you have signal, you can access them later offline. Full interactivity requires data or Wi-Fi.
Is this just for Yellowstone, or does it cover nearby towns too?
YellowRoam covers not only Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton, but also gateway towns like West Yellowstone, Gardiner, Cody, Jackson, Bozeman, and even regional spots like Big Sky.
What if I have a very specific question—like bear spray tips or trout hatches?
That’s where YellowRoam shines. The system is built for region-specific questions—whether it's bear behavior, scenic pullouts, wildlife rules, or what insects are hatching today.
Does YellowRoam replace the official NPS app?
Nope. The NPS app is great for official alerts and park info. YellowRoam complements it with dynamic, practical help and hyperlocal advice you won’t find in the federal app.
How often is the information updated?
Regional data and expert tips are updated frequently—especially in peak season. New updates come from verified local sources, trail alerts, and user feedback.
