Full description
Begin your adventure into the stunning Utah landscape at the visitor center by the entrance to Arches National Park. As you set off on your journey, pass the towering formation of the Three Penguins and the geological Moab Fault, then pause at Park Avenue. Simply admire the formations, colors, and layers here or hike the trail into the park. Next, check out the distant snow-capped La Sal Mountains, the iconic Three Gossips, and the towering series of formations from the Courthouse Towers to Sheep Rock. Continue deeper into the park, admiring the petrified dunes and desert scrub while learning about the native Ute and Paiute tribes. Hear about their mythologies, way of life, and eventual struggle against Spanish invaders and Mormon settlers. Your journey into Arches will then bring you to the famous Balanced Rock formation, followed quickly by the two most popular stops: the Windows Arches and Double Arch. Enjoy jumping out and exploring these geological marvels up close. After, make your way through Arches’ unique Cache Valley to Delicate Arch, the unrivaled highlight of this park. Check out the nearby historic Wolfe Ranch and tribal petroglyphs, and decide if you want to see the famous arch from a viewpoint or hike closer for greater detail. Your adventure continues through the unique Salt Valley of Arches to stunning formations like the Fiery Furnace, Sand Dune Arch, Arches Forest, Skyline Arch, and Tapestry Arch. These are all optional stops and hikes. Finally, make your way to the farthest point in the park: the Devil’s Garden. Here, hop out to visit the famous Landscape Arch as the crowning vista of a surreal landscape.

This was really nice to have. Well worth the money. I had troubles getting it to follow us at first but I think I was pressing something that was actually causing the issue. We got it working and it was really great. So nice to drive an area and be told what it is vs just trying to figure it out. Our kids were pretty wiped from our day so we didn’t get out much so it was really helpful as we didn’t get to read any of the signs. They also liked having something to listen to. One of the sections of roads was closed so we didn’t get to hear all the things along the way but it’s nice that you can choose what you want to listen to as well. Have already recommended to a few people to purchase this before going in.

The app and tour worked well for us. We were could stop at parking areas/turnouts to walk (short or longer distances) or take photos without disrupting the tour. I liked that there was a photo for each tour "point" so you could easily know that you were at the correct spot to listen to that bit of the tour. It was also possible to go forward and back in the tour by clicking arrows.

This app was awesome and totally worth the money. We wanted to travel through the park but did not intend to spend a whole lot of time outside of the car because it is extremely hot. This allowed us to see all the things we wanted and the information was great! Since you download before you go it was not a problem that the park didn’t have any signal.
