What To Expect

Yosemite National Park

As the audio guides play commentary based on your gps location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule. Or you can use our trip planners for our suggestions on half, full or multi day itineraries. Some of the many highlights are listed below;

Bridalveil Fall

With a drop of 620 feet, Bridalveil Falls puts on a show and is one of Yosemite's must-sees. A short 0.5 mile paved trail will take you to the viewpoint.

El Capitan

"El Cap" continues to challenge and inspire rock climbers around the world to achieve new records and style to summit it's 3000foot granite walls.

Glacier Point

Oh what a view! The overlook of the Yosemite Valley, Half Dome and Yosemite Falls is breathtaking. A short paved trail leads from the carpark. The view down to Curry Village 3214 feet below can be a little unnerving for some.

Half Dome

One of the most well known images of Yosemite is the distinctive shape of Half Dome. However misleading as it was never whole...

Hetch Hetchy Reservoir

Looking for a less crowded part of Yosemite Park to explore? The Hetch Hetchy Valley features more granite formations, hikes, spring waterfalls and wildflowers.

Olmsted Point

A viewpoint along Tioga Pass looking south to Half Dome, Clouds Rest and Tenaya Canyon.

Tioga Pass

High alpine area and road from East Entrance to Yosemite Valley. Once open each season, enjoy the many hikes, wildlflowers or scenic drive.

Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias

Superb grouping of Giant Sequioas. Hike a 1 mile downhill to see character trees both dead and alive, including Dead Giant.

Wawona Covered Bridge

Wander and explore the Wawona Hotel, collection of horse carriages at the Pioneer Yosemite History Center and old timber covered bridge.

Yosemite Falls

Truly one of the iconic images of Yosemite. In spring, snowmelt drives a thunderous amount of water down the upper, middle and lower sections.

Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias

Giant Sequoias are the biggest trees in the world, combining tremendous height and thick trunks. The best collection of these is at Mariposa Grove.

This is a very nice way to tour the park. Recorded commentary is triggered at certain points along the way with information and instructions about upcoming features just ahead. Very easy to manage and convenient. The only negative I can say is that the guide uses “we” and “us”as if he is in the car with you. “Just ahead we need to decide if we want to…” A bit distracting at first, but I got used to it.

Hi Mark, thanks for sharing how much you enjoyed our audio tour through Yosemite. Many of our users enjoy feeling as though 'Ranger Bob' (or a multitude of other names that he's been given!) are there in the car with them. We hope to join you on the road again soon.

The app never worked. It just opened from the start of app up to the narrator explaining the process. After that It stopped. According to the narrator it will automatically start explaining passing by a certain point, but I already circled Yosemite 16 times still no voice coming from the app, and my location indicator never changed. I completed my Yosemite tour with that app so quite unlike my previous tour with lake Tahoe.

Hi Andy, if your location marker isn't tracking your location it indicates the gps chip on your phone isn't working, or you haven't accepted permission for location-service. We have tips listed in the help menu and a toll free number for support, but didn't hear from you. Please reach out to us. GG.

Great audio, but it did stick a few times and did not pick up so I had to restart the feed. It was informative and helpful and gave places to stop.

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience on our Yosemite Audio Tour. We're so glad you enjoyed the offline commentary and information. The issues you described are a little unusual, was the device plugged in to the car's USB outlet? We do note in the 'Help' section of the app that this can cause issues, as well as some other troubleshooting tips. And if you ever need help from a real person, we're always just a call away!
