Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Petrified Forest tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Jasper Forest Overlook is coming up, with a broad view across a basin scattered with petrified wood. This is a good quick stop for the scale of the fossil field; the accessible viewpoint stays above the logs.”
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 Petrified Forest.
“Up ahead is Agate Bridge, a petrified log spanning a gully about forty feet across. It's a quick stop, with a short walk from parking to the viewpoint, but expect a large concrete beam beneath the trunk.”
Heads up The prominent concrete support changes the natural-bridge look.
“You're nearing Puerco Pueblo, the low sandstone remains of a village that once had more than a hundred rooms. It takes a little imagination: much of the settlement is still buried.”
Heads up Much of the settlement remains buried, so its full scale is hard to picture from the surviving foundations.
“You're approaching Crystal Forest, where a short trail takes you close to petrified logs with quartz crystals inside.”
Heads up Steep sections can limit the full loop for some mobility-device users.
+ 34 more stories across Petrified Forest: Historic Route 66 and Studebaker, Agate House, Hózhó Point, Tiponi Point, Long Logs, Giant Logs, Lacey Point, Whipple Point 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!”
