Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Olympic tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You’re nearing the Spruce Railroad trailhead for Devils Punchbowl, a blue-green cove crossed by a curved footbridge. It’s about a mile each way, mostly on pavement, but the final spur is steep, narrow, and rocky.”
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 Olympic.
“You're nearing the campground access to Kalaloch Beach, a broad sandy shore for a walk beside Pacific surf. The Tree of Life is a short detour along the beach from the campground stairs.”
Heads up Steep stairs and an uneven beach approach can be awkward
“You're approaching Madison Falls, a good choice for a waterfall stop without a long hike. Allow fifteen to twenty minutes for the short walk and a pause beside the sixty-foot cascade.”
Heads up Limited parking and root-lifted pavement can complicate an otherwise easy visit.
“You're approaching Hurricane Ridge, where the Bailey Range panorama opens up right beside the parking area. You don't need a long hike for this one.”
Heads up Clouds can hide the peaks after the winding drive up.

From the App Store
“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!”
“We loved the fun facts and found spots we wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s awesome that it works offline too.”
