Great tour! When you look at the map of Capital Reef it’s overwhelming. This audio tour made it so much more enjoyable. There were stops with options of touring or hiking and the hikes were described so you knew the distance and difficulty. We saw sites we would have never noticed if we had just driven on our own. Great information at the 36 sites on the tour and since there is no cell coverage downloading the tour on WiFi kept us right on the map. It took us about 6 hours with stops but it could be shorter or much longer. The narrator was also great as was the music.
