Handheld Tours

Form your own national park tour group by carrying your own handheld tour guide – the GeoQuest GPS Ranger!

You do not have to be at the mercy of a group tour guide to learn more about the geology, history and wildlife of the national park you are visiting. Instead, you can rent a GeoQuest GPS Ranger, a handheld tour guide that presents the same information a park ranger would supply, delving deeper into the story behind the spectacular scenery of the incredible national parks of the Grand Circle region – Zion National Park, the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park, and Bryce Canyon National Park.

Using GPS technology, each handheld guide can pinpoint your location on the earth’s surface within 15 feet. In this way, the device delivers fascinating information about your immediate surroundings. As you approach a natural landmark, scenic viewpoint, historical structure, or other point of interest along the trail, the GPS park guide will present video content about it on its four-inch screen, which is easily readable in sunlight. For example, as you draw near Wall Street on the Navajo Trail in Bryce Canyon, the GPS Ranger tells you interesting tidbits about the narrow crevice, much like a park ranger would do.

Carrying the handheld navigation system will allow you to form your own national park group tour with family and friends and take the place of a ranger. Your tour group will appreciate the insights of the GPS Ranger. It will make their national park vacation more memorable and educational!
