Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Canyonlands tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Up ahead are the Shafer Canyon overlooks, where you can see the switchbacks without driving the backcountry road yourself.”
Real stops, real narration
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, at three of the most-loved stops in the Canyonlands.
“You're coming up on Mesa Arch, where a low sandstone opening frames the canyon and the distant La Sal Mountains. Keep this stop even if you missed sunrise.”
Heads up Sunrise crowds can mean waiting for a clear photo position.
“Green River Overlook is coming up, a quick stop with a short paved walk from the parking area. Look down for the river, a thin line about thirteen hundred feet below, then across the branching canyons toward The Maze.”
Heads up The river is a distant view from the mesa rim
“Buck Canyon Overlook is ahead, an easy extra stop for an eastward canyon view. A short, wheelchair-accessible paved path leads to the panorama, with the pale White Rim below and the La Sal Mountains beyond.”
Heads up Less dramatic than Grand View or Green River if time is tight.
+ 42 more stories across the Canyonlands: Confluence Overlook, Pothole Point, Great Gallery, Musselman Arch, Upheaval Dome, Wooden Shoe Arch Overlook, Angel Arch, Needles Overlook and more.

From the App Store
“So far this app has been absolutely wonderful. We used it for the Arches and are now off to Canyonlands”
“We just used the app this morning on our drive around Cades Cove and it provided a lot of info along the way and greatly enhanced our experience! And to top it off, we saw a female black bear and her two cubs just before the halfway point!”
“Great app , works offline and audio tour while driving its amazing.”
“Loved it after I figured out how to use the app, the information was very interesting and the automatic play as you drive was very convenient. The map came in handy too when we lost connection on our GPS. Thank you!”
