I took the winter tour and was pretty disappointed in the limited content. I’ve done the same app at Joshua Tree and it was filled with info on the geology, flora and fauna of the area, as well as some fun historical facts about round ups and cowboys etc. the RMNP one was pretty flat. No mention of the mountains we were looking at, very little on the animals we could see, what geology led to the formations we saw, how old they were, etc. just very quick snippets about trailheads. I’ve been to RMNP dozens of times (I’m local to the area) and was really disappointed to not learn something new and fun. More work needed on the content.

Jennifer, I’m so glad you had a great experience with my Joshua Tree tour and decided to try my Rocky Mountain National Park Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. I genuinely appreciate your feedback. Hearing what content you felt was missing is beneficial. The tour does cover details about the park, but if directions on the app aren’t followed, some audio stories may not trigger. I’d love to hear more specifics about what you’d like to see added so I can look into updating and improving the experience for everyone.

Had to request password. Didn’t receive it until we were in the park and then couldn’t download it. Only got to hear about 5 stops. Please let people know to plan ahead!!! We were disappointed.

Excellent tour! Audio automatically starts when you reach each point. Shirt hikes around the lake were beautiful. Other two hikes were long (7 mi, 4 mi respectively). 7 mi hike is for experienced hikers only. Beautiful park. Highly recommend.
