Howard_B
Loved the ability to tour at my own pace and in my own car. The stories shared are interesting and the technology used to see where I am on the path so the audio can start/stop automatically was awesome! The only difficult part was that some of the stories seemed to be a little long as they cut off because we had arrived at the next audio point on the route. I felt like I missed some of the interesting parts and struggled to go backwards to play them again.

Valley of Fire and Lake Mead Self-Guided Tour Review If you're considering exploring the Valley of Fire and Lake Mead, this self-guided tour is a must-do! This tour offers an amazing balance of flexibility and guidance, making it perfect for those who want an independent adventure but still appreciate a well-curated experience. Excellent Guidance and Commentary The explanations provided at each stop were top-notch, covering not only the history and geology of the sites but also practical tips about each location. The directions were very clear, so navigating between stops was seamless, even without a guide. The commentary also goes beyond the basic information, leading you to additional viewpoints and photo spots that aren't officially part of the main route. These bonus stops were real gems and added a lot to the overall experience! User-Friendly Navigation The tour provides step-by-step directions and lets you know exactly how far each stop is, making the drive incredibly smooth. It’s ideal for taking your time and absorbing the natural beauty without feeling rushed. That said, one small suggestion would be to include distances in kilometers as well, which would be a helpful addition for international visitors more accustomed to the metric system. Highly Recommended This self-guided tour is an absolute recommendation for anyone visiting the area. With its ease of use, insightful commentary, and flexibility for extra stops, it truly enhances the experience of visiting Valley of Fire and Lake Mead. It's a fantastic way to explore at your own pace while still making sure you don’t miss anything.

Stunning scenery, and great hiking! Be sure to go during cooler weather. Don’t recommend during hot months. Plan several hours there.
