By accessing or using Online Trip Planner (the "Service", operated at onlinetripplanner.com), you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these terms, you may not access or use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

Online Trip Planner is a free, web-based intelligent travel planning platform. It assists travelers, campers, road trippers, and adventurers in assembling multi-day travel itineraries, estimating driving times, discovering points of interest, checking published operating hours, and tracking travel budgets.

3. Travel Safety & Estimate Disclaimers

Real-world driving and travel conditions are inherently variable and unpredictable. Unplanned factors including but not limited to seasonal road closures, severe weather, natural hazards, border controls, vehicle mechanical issues, construction delays, and unexpected venue closures can drastically affect your journey.

You are solely responsible for:

• Verifying official national park alerts, road pass conditions, and weather forecasts prior to departure.
• Confirming opening hours, booking requirements, and permit restrictions directly with venues and campgrounds.
• Carrying adequate water, emergency gear, paper maps, spare fuel, and emergency communication when traveling in remote backcountry areas.
• Operating motor vehicles strictly in compliance with all applicable traffic laws and posted speed limits.

4. Outdoor Ethics & "Leave No Trace"

• Plan ahead and prepare for regional wilderness conditions.
• Camp and travel on durable surfaces; obey private property boundaries.
• Dispose of waste properly ("Pack it in, pack it out").
• Leave rocks, plants, historical artifacts, and natural objects as you find them.
• Minimize campfire impact and respect seasonal fire bans.
• Respect wildlife and observe from a safe distance.
• Be considerate of other outdoor travelers, locals, and campers.
