Hiking Trip

Having a GPS Ranger in your hand is just like having your own personal guide while on national park hiking trips

Ranger-led hiking trips are the highlight of many visitors’ trips to national parks. Unfortunately, however, ranger-guided educational tours and programs are decreasing because of National Park Service understaffing and budget cuts. Today there is approximately one ranger per 100,000 park visitors. GeoQuest’s GPS Ranger helps make up for the Park Service’s lack of interpretation, serving as a handheld tour guide for some of the most popular national parks in the U.S.

When you have a GPS Ranger, you can go on hiking adventures at your own pace without being at the mercy of a tour guide that quickly moves from one point of interest or natural landmark to the next. The GPS Ranger serves as your own personal hiking guide, providing audio-visual presentations about your immediate surroundings, including historical, geological and ecological information. Using Global Positioning System technology, each handheld guide can determine your exact location within 15 feet. Not only is the GPS Ranger your tour guide, it can also serve as your map navigation system.

GPS Rangers can provide hiking tours of national parks such as Zion, Bryce Canyon and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. When you hike North Rim trails like Bright Angel Point, your GPS Ranger will provide you interesting tidbits about Grand Canyon Lodge, its trailhead, as well as locations included within the spectacular panoramic vista at the viewpoint, including Bright Angel Canyon and Roaring Springs. The handheld navigation system will also tell you about the view of the Desert View Watchtower on the South Rim from Cape Royal. When you have a GPS Ranger in your hand, you will not need the guidance of a park ranger during any of your national park vacation hiking trips.
