User Reviews
This is the best app on my phone! It has everything you need when visiting a national park/forest/monument!
Very informative app and easy to navigate
We drove, we got out and climbed towers and rocks and listened to what happened here. An informative set of audio recordings to help one understand where they are standing. Easy to use. Valuable tool for parents to help their children learn history.
We Americans are blessed with so many wonderful national parks…and this app helps us navigate them all! 👍🏼👍🏼
I wish I could log in and keep a list of the parks I’ve visited across multiple devices
This app has never let me down it always has a good way to plan out your day. We went to Yellowstone and it had everything we where looking for. It even works in a sos.
This site is a great place to start planning my travels
This app is always so informative and helpful. It’s my go to !!!!
I love this app, great way to save my visits and to search for new places to visit. Great informative app.
Tried to book the fern canyon permit for next day hiking and there were no spots available at at 9.00 am .
This is an excellent tour guide. I used it in Boston, Massachusetts to tour the “Freedom Trail” historic sites. It shows the map and different stops. At each stop, it narrates the history behind it. Or you can read it. You can go it on your own and walk as much as you can for that day and continue the rest another day. This is perfect tour at your own pace.
Just leaving Glacier. What an amazing legacy to have these wonderful public lands and spaces that belong to every American.
