Definitely worth getting if you're driving over Going-to-the-Sun Road! It worked perfectly with the GPS as we were passing through and approaching things to see.

Content was pretty good, easy to understand. However, it repeated way too much. Tell me about a place to pull as I approached, but when I got back in the car it would tell me same thing I just listened to and saw.

Very good audio guide. Allows you to proceed at your pace. Would buy again for a different park. Setup was a bit confusing which is why I rated a bit lower.

This audio tour made our visit to Glacier National Park much more enjoyable. It included history tidbits that we would have missed.

Going to a National Park without a guide is like driving with one eye closed. You can look at all the pretty trees and mountains without really knowing what you're seeing. Every time you pass a turnout, you have no idea whether it's worth stopping for. The audio guide was great because it let you know what you're seeing, the history if it's important, and gives an idea of what's at each stop or turnoff. At Glacier there were many opportunities for hikes, short and long. The guide told me in advance what to expect so in our case we chose the easier hikes. The guide didn't constantly talk but only at appropriate spots on the tour. You can't beat the price compared with going on a actual tour.
