Hear the guide
It knows which trail needs a permit.
This is the real narration from Parkwolf’s Zion tour. It starts on its own as you approach each stop, so you never tap or read while driving.

The Famous Angels Landing Hike
0:33
“…the part everyone talks about is the final half-mile. This last stretch is a narrow spine of rock, a true knife-edge, with chains bolted into the stone to hold onto.”
The canyon and the highway, narrated
The tips that save your Zion day.
Three real lines from the narration, each with the app’s tip for that stop, in the order you’ll reach them: the visitor center, up the canyon on the shuttle, then out the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway.
-
Zion Canyon Visitor Center
Park before 8 am“This is where you can park, talk to a ranger, and catch the required shuttle into the main canyon.”
App tip Arrive before 8 am for parking and short shuttle lines.
-
Scout Lookout
No permit? Still go“The view into the main canyon is stellar, and this spot is the goal for anyone hiking without a permit for the Angels Landing chains.”
App tip No Angels Landing permit? Continue a bit on the West Rim for quieter overlooks.
-
Zion-Mount Carmel Tunnel
Expect a short wait“Because the tunnel is so narrow, large vehicles require an escort that makes traffic one-way, so you may have a short wait.”
App tip Plan a bathroom stop before joining the line—there are no restrooms at the tunnel.
+ 119 more stories across Zion: The Narrows and the Temple of Sinawava, Emerald Pools, Zion Lodge, the Court of the Patriarchs, Big Bend, Canyon Overlook, Checkerboard Mesa, Kolob Canyons, Lava Point and more.

From the App Store
Like a guide in the car with you.
“This app has been a terrific ‘guide’ as we drive around to different lookouts. The information is just enough, very interesting and not talking all the time.”
“With this apps help we avoided a hiking back up an uphill climb (With a toddler) by taking the advice of the app and walking an extra 2 mins down to a park shuttle.”
“This app worked great for us! Especially when we had no service in Yellowstone… It also worked equally well in Zion and Grand Teton.”
“So fun to drive through the parks and listen to the guide explain upcoming features! Cell service is spotty in these areas, so be sure to download whatever you need before heading out.”
Good to know
Questions before you go
How does the self-guided Zion tour work?
Open Parkwolf, tap Start Tour Guide and drive. Your phone’s GPS triggers each story as you approach an overlook, trailhead, pullout or hidden spot. There’s no set route, so take any road in any order.
Will it help me plan my Zion itinerary?
Yes. Every stop has the app’s tips on shuttles, parking and permits, and every trail lists its distance, climb and time, so you can plan your Zion itinerary before you go. Then the guide narrates it on the shuttle and as you drive.
Does it work without cell service?
Yes. Download Zion before you go and the map, the narration and every tip work offline, even where your phone shows no bars.
What does it cover?
The Zion Canyon Scenic Drive by shuttle, from the visitor center to the Temple of Sinawava, plus the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway and tunnel, Checkerboard Mesa, Kolob Canyons and Kolob Terrace Road: 122 stories in all.
How much does it cost?
Parkwolf is free to download. The Tour Guide is part of Parkwolf PRO, which starts with a free trial, and one subscription covers everyone listening in your car.
Does it work with CarPlay or Android?
Both. Parkwolf works with Apple CarPlay, and it’s available on Google Play for Android.
Can I use it in other parks?
Yes. The same guide covers 100+ national parks, state parks and scenic drives, from Yellowstone to the Blue Ridge Parkway.
