Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Mount Rainier tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Up ahead is the Tipsoo Lake area near Chinook Pass, a good stop for a short lakeshore walk among the meadows.”
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 Mount Rainier.
“You're coming up on Paradise, where meadow walks start beside the visitor center and historic inn.”
Heads up The full view requires a steep stair and dirt-path descent
“You're approaching Narada Falls, where the Paradise River drops over a broad wall of volcanic rock beside the road.”
Heads up The full lower view takes a steep, often wet descent and climb.
“Box Canyon is coming up beside Stevens Canyon Road. Make this stop for a look straight down into a remarkably narrow gorge: the river squeezes through a slot just thirteen feet wide at its tightest point.”
Heads up The loop crosses Stevens Canyon Road and has steps on its west side.
+ 76 more stories across Mount Rainier: Tolmie Peak Fire Lookout, Sunrise Point Overlook, Silver Falls, Christine Falls, Ruby Falls, Mowich Lake, Gobblers Knob Fire Lookout, Comet Falls and more.

“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!”
