Hiking Adventures
Become your own tour guide for you national park hiking adventure by renting a GPS Ranger from GeoQuest
When you are traveling on your next national park hiking adventure trip, would you like to know more about the spectacular scenery you are viewing? If you want more insight on the story behind the natural landmarks you are viewing, rent a GPS Ranger from GeoQuest. The handheld guide provides audio-visual content about your immediate surroundings based on GPS coordinate recognition. That means you will learn more about a rock formation, a historic structure, or another point of interest as you approach it, both on the trail or road. The GPS Ranger also serves as a valuable resource when traversing national park scenic drives.
Ranger-guided hiking adventures are fun, but they adhere to a strict schedule and are not always available. When you have a GPS Ranger in your hand, you will hear a ranger-type message and be able to go at your own pace, stopping at attractions along the trail to take photos or just to enjoy the view. By carrying a GPS Ranger, you can become your own national park group tour guide.
For example, during your hiking adventure in Bryce Canyon National Park, your GPS Ranger will tell you about the historic Bryce Canyon Lodge on your way to the most popular portion of the Rim Trail, the paved section between Sunset and Sunrise points. The handheld guide will describe the geologic process that formed the park’s many hoodoos, colorful rock pinnacles and spires in many different shapes and sizes. When hiking the Navajo Trail/Queen’s Garden Trail loop, you will learn the stories behind the names of points of interest such as Thor’s Hammer, Wall Street and Queen Victoria, along with other fascinating tidbits. When you have a GPS Ranger in the palm of your hand, it is like having a naturalist, geologist and historian along with you during your national park hiking vacation.
