This audio guide added to our visits to various national parks, including Capitol Reef. We learned so much more through them, and it really add it to our enjoyment. I highly recommend purchasing audio self guided tours.
Purchase one tour per car, not per person. Everyone listens together! Discover the hidden gem of Utah’s national parks! This self-guided driving tour takes you through the colorful, awe-inspiring Capitol Reef. This park is home to hundreds of millions of years of history as well as tons of fantastic hikes and vistas. Plus, dig into the long, surprising history of the park’s human inhabitants, from the ancient tribes to the Mormon pioneers scraping out a life in one of the most remote parts of America. After booking, check your email to download the separate Audio Tour Guide App by Action, enter your unique password, and access your tour. These steps require good internet/Wi-Fi access. From there, follow the audio instructions and the route. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months. This isn't an entrance ticket. Check opening hours before your visit.
