The Utah guides are awesome and a great value!

We paid more for some of the books we aren’t using during our travels around Utah than we did for this “guided” tour of several of the parks here. It’s amazing. We love the way it works with gps to give us the right recording in the right place. My kids were rapt in attention to the stories and we all appreciated having a guide right there to tell us what we were looking at. So far we have used Arches and Bryce and we look forward to trying out Zion as well. We were really bummed that we didn’t download Capitol Reef before we went through that area. Sad for us. One request: while the music is surprisingly(!!) good, we would still prefer to play a podcast or listen to our choice of music during the in-between times. It would be great if we could pick a podcast or recording or channel or something.
