Zion National Park Tours
Carrying a GPS Ranger with you on your Zion National Park tour will make it both a scenic and educational experience
The most easily accessible national park in Utah to major freeways, Zion is also the state’s most visited national park. Every year, 2.5 million visitors come to the park to experience its breathtaking spectacles, from towering sandstone monoliths to hanging gardens to narrow canyons. Some tourists arrive on organized Zion National Park tours, making them adhere to a set schedule and view only the sites on their tour guide’s itinerary.
Little do most visitors know, but they can avoid exploring Zion at someone else’s pace and glean the same type of interesting information by renting a GPS Ranger from GeoQuest. Using Global Positioning System technology, this handheld device delivers crystal-clear video presentations about the park’s history, geology, flora and fauna, similar to what a park ranger would present on a ranger-led tour. With a GPS Ranger in hand, you can be the guide of your own Zion National Park tour.
Your portable navigation system will provide you with fascinating tidbits about points of interest and natural landmarks as you come to them on the road or trail, based on GPS coordinates. For instance, when you hike the Riverside Walk, you will find out about the vegetation along the way, from gypsum weed to columbines, and about the Zion Narrows, to which the path leads. Carrying a GPS Ranger with you on your National Park tour will make it a more enriching experience.
