Hiking Trips

Enhance your national park hiking trips by carrying a GPS Ranger with you to learn more about the story behind the scenery

Hiking vacations in national parks are some of the most enjoyable trips you and your family can take. Hiking trips to national parks entreat you to spectacular scenery, fresh air, exercise, and memorable family adventures. While on your hike, wouldn’t it be nice to know a little more about the natural landmarks, plant life and animal life along the trail? Hiking maps alone will not enrich your trip the way GeoQuest’s GPS Ranger will. These small handheld tour guides provide audio and visual presentations on the park’s history, geology, fauna and flora, as well as interesting background information on rock formations and other points of interest you will encounter along the way.

Having a GPS Ranger with you on your national park hiking adventure allows you to experience the park at your own pace. You will not be at the mercy of a group tour guide that quickly moves from one point of interest to the next. Instead, you will have your own personal tour guide along with you that will present interesting information relevant to your immediate surroundings thanks to Global Positioning System technology. With the help of satellites, the GPS Ranger can determine your exact location at any time within 15 feet. When you arrive at preset locations within parks, the GPS Ranger will activate its video tour for that specific point of interest.

The GPS Ranger is not only a valuable resource for hiking. Travel along national park scenic drives and it will be your handheld navigation system and tour guide for national parks such as Zion, Bryce Canyon and the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. You do not need an interpretive park ranger to show you around on your national park hiking vacations when you rent a GPS Ranger!
