Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Theodore Roosevelt tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Cannonball Concretions is coming up, with round rocks jutting out of the pale badlands slopes. I'd stop for five to fifteen minutes to see them and the exhibit; some reach about five feet across.”
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 Theodore Roosevelt.
“Oxbow Overlook is ahead, at the end of the North Unit Scenic Drive. Follow the wheelchair-accessible paved path all the way to its end for the open river view.”
Heads up Reaching it takes a 28-mile out-and-back drive through the North Unit.
“You're approaching River Bend Overlook, where a stone shelter sits above a wide curve of the Little Missouri River.”
Heads up The lower shelter takes a downhill walk with steps.
“Badlands Overlook is ahead, an easy stop for a broad panorama without a hike. Walk the paved sidewalk along the stone wall to see layers of ridges, gullies, and buttes stretching into the distance.”
Heads up A large butte blocks part of the western view.

“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!”
