Some of the many highlights are listed below;

  • El Capitan - “El Cap” continues to challenge and inspire rock climbers around the world to achieve new records and style to summit it’s 3000foot granite walls.
  • Glacier Point - Oh what a view! The overlook of the Yosemite Valley, Half Dome and Yosemite Falls is breathtaking. A short paved trail leads from the carpark. The view down to Curry Village 3214 feet below can be a little unnerving for some.
  • Half Dome - One of the most well known images of Yosemite is the distinctive shape of Half Dome. However misleading as it was never whole…
  • Hetch Hetchy Reservoir - Looking for a less crowded part of Yosemite Park to explore? The Hetch Hetchy Valley features more granite formations, hikes, spring waterfalls and wildflowers.
  • Olmsted Point - A viewpoint along Tioga Pass looking south to Half Dome, Clouds Rest and Tenaya Canyon.
  • Tioga Pass - High alpine area and road from East Entrance to Yosemite Valley. Once open each season, enjoy the many hikes, wildlflowers or scenic drive.
  • Tuolumne Grove of Giant Sequoias - Superb grouping of Giant Sequioas. Hike a 1 mile downhill to see character trees both dead and alive, including Dead Giant.
  • Wawona Covered Bridge - Wander and explore the Wawona Hotel, collection of horse carriages at the Pioneer Yosemite History Center and old timber covered bridge.
  • Yosemite Falls - Truly one of the iconic images of Yosemite. In spring, snowmelt drives a thunderous amount of water down the upper, middle and lower sections.

Perfect!! - Had no issues with app. Connecting audio via my cell phone to a rental car was simple. I started it in the middle of the park and it knew exactly where I was. It tells you some history and even gives you options of which way to turn so you get wherever it is you want to go. I had no cell service which was not an issue. It played while I had navigation going at the same time! Perfect! I would 100% buy this again and plan to for any of my trips it's available for!

This app is WORTH it! - I read the reviews, most of them positive but you never really know until you have your own experience. Let-me-tell-you: it was the BEST $14.99 I have ever spent for an app. We found it VERY helpful to highlight the must-sees for 1st time users and those returning after a long time…and to bypass what we didn’t feel we needed to see. With all the stops and starts it picked up right where it left off and knew exactly where we were. The info. shared was both educational and entertaining. It even helped us navi out of the park at nighttime. Bravo! I will go to this site for any sightseeing future trip.

Our trip to Yosemite. - It was so worth it. We would have missed so much without it. We had a wonderful time, and support was so helpful when I couldn’t download it.

Great for travelers who like flexibility in their schedules - We loved this audio tour! Once you download it you can play it from anywhere in the park and it tells you where to stop for amazing views of the park. It even tells you which views are best for 1st time visitors versus those who've visited before. It worked for our family since we opted to take a few trips throught the week.

Good info for a one day visit - Only one day to check out the park and really liked the narrative and “must do” recommendations. Bit crowded making some stops difficult, but still worthwhile.

We called him Pete (inside joke) - Downloaded it and it worked perfectly even without a cell signal on my android auto. Great tips. Plenty of warning on up coming turnouts. Well worth it!

Not worth the time and trouble. - I never did get it to download. Support tries to help. At first she kept rushing me like it was my fault I couldn’t get it working. She kept talking over me when I tried to ask a question or for her to slow down. Eventually she gave up and referred me to another help line. I’d already spent nearly 30 minutes talking to her. I just decided to go without it. They did try to call me back, but since there is no reception in Yosemite, I never got the call. I got an email that they are going to refund my money. Not happy about the experience at all.

Disappointed - The audio guide tour did not download correctly which I only discovered at the park where there is no cellular service so it was completely useless. We tried to listen to it on the way home, but since it is tied to your location it seems you can only use it in Yosemite. It was a complete waste of money. If you get it, be sure the tour downloads fully before you go (not just the app).
