This self-guided driving audio tour covers about 5 to 6 hours and allows visitors to explore Yellowstone National Park at their own pace. After purchase, the tour is accessible through a separate app called Action’s Tour Guide App, which must be downloaded before arrival due to limited cell service inside the park. The app provides audio narration triggered by your location along a route exceeding 150 miles with more than 140 stories about the park's features and history. The tour can start at any park entrance, including the South, West, North, Northeast, and East entrances. It guides you through key landmarks such as West Thumb Geyser Basin, Shoshone Lake, Isa Lake on the Continental Divide, Old Faithful Geyser, Morning Glory Pool, Firehole River, Grand Prismatic Spring, Fountain Paint Pot, Gibbon Falls, Artists Paintpots, Norris Geyser Basin, Swan Lake Flats, Mammoth Hot Springs, Boiling River, Roosevelt Arch, Albright Visitor Center, Undine Falls, Wraith Falls, Lamar Valley, Dunraven Pass, Mount Washburn, Canyon Village, Inspiration Point, Hayden Valley, Fishing Bridge, and Yellowstone Lake. Along the route, you will hear about the volcanic geology, wildlife including bison and wolves, and historical facts such as the Roosevelt Arch's construction supervised by the US Army in 1903. The audio works offline once downloaded and plays automatically based on your location, allowing hands-free use. The tour does not include park entrance passes, so you must arrange those separately. You can pause or skip sections, take breaks, and repeat the tour anytime since it has lifetime access with no expiration.
