Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Shenandoah tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“You're nearing Stony Man Mountain Overlook, a roadside view north across wooded ridges and valley fields. Look for Hughes River Gap, the notch cutting through the ridge line.”
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 Shenandoah.
“Hazel Mountain Overlook is ahead, an easy roadside stop with a tree-topped rock outcrop framing the southeast view. Look beyond it to Buck Ridge, then Hazel Mountain farther away.”
Heads up Low clouds can hide the distant ridge layers.
“You're nearing The Point Overlook, where a short path drops to a rocky perch above the valley. It's a good quick stop if you don't mind a steep climb back to the car.”
Heads up The short path back up is noticeably steep.
“Hogback Overlook is coming up, a quick stop for layered ridges and a northward view across the Shenandoah Valley. It's the park's longest overlook, with the view just a few steps from your car.”
Heads up The far Alleghenies show only when visibility is clear.

From the App Store
“Loved using this on our first trip to Shenandoah National Park. So many great features to help navigate the park, especially for a first time visitor. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to use it on another national park adventure.”
“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!”
