Hear the guide
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Yoho tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.
“Up ahead is Natural Bridge, where the Kicking Horse River squeezes beneath a limestone ledge.”
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 Yoho.
“Takakkaw Falls is coming up at the end of Yoho Valley Road, and you don't need a long hike to get close to this one. Follow the short, mostly level paved path toward the falls for the roar and cold spray.”
Heads up Seasonal access and tight switchbacks complicate the drive for long vehicles.
“You're approaching Emerald Lake, where a short, level walk to the bridge brings you to the blue-green water and its mountain backdrop. Stop even if you haven't got time for a hike.”
Heads up Very limited parking can mean a long walk from overflow.
“The Lower Spiral Tunnel Viewpoint is coming up, a worthwhile pull-off if you're curious about how trains cross these mountains.”
Heads up Trees often hide the tunnel openings and passing trains.

“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!”
