About Wheels World Guide
Wheels World Guide (轮子上的世界) makes road trip guides for the American West.
What we do
We write road trip guides for the American West: national parks such as the Grand Canyon, Zion, Yosemite and Death Valley, classic drives such as Route 66 and Big Sur's Highway 1, and the everyday things you'll meet driving in the US, from renting a car and buying gas to parking, freeways and being pulled over.
Every guide is published in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese, most come with a YouTube video, and there are small trip tools such as a park pass calculator, a gas station map and road conditions.
How we research
Every guide is checked against official sources: the National Park Service, state transportation departments, and park and tour operators' own notices. The sources are listed at the end of each guide, and each page shows when it was last updated and the date the information is current to.
Fees, closures and rules change often. When we find an error or something goes out of date, we correct it promptly and update the date on the page. If you spot something wrong, please email us.
How the content is made
Our videos use stock footage and openly licensed photos and clips, with a synthesized voice-over (text-to-speech) rather than a recorded human narrator. Photos on this site come from freely licensed sources such as Unsplash, credited at the end of each guide.
Data in our maps and tools comes from public official or open data sources, credited on each page.
