Why GeoQuest?

Park Rangers and the interpretive staff are the heart and soul of the national park system. Unfortunately finding a park ranger is becoming harder and harder. With budget cuts and understaffing you might not be able to get answers to common questions about the parks. According to the National Parks Conservation Association, park rangers are themselves becoming an endangered species.

National parks operate on average with only two-thirds of the needed funding - a system-wide shortfall in excess of $600 million annually.
The Park Service has approximately one interpreter (Ranger) per 100,000 park visitors.
Parks across the country are closing visitor centers and cutting ranger-led educational programs because of insufficient staffing and funding.

GeoQuest bridges this gap by providing the GPS Ranger. This hand held device guides your visit and delivers information on the surrounding geology, human and natural history, animals, plants and hiking trail descriptions. Information is available where it matters most, in the park as you are exploring! Our tours are informative, fun and interactive helping you to enjoy the beauty and scenery you came so far to see.
