As you listen to audio files automatically triggered by your GPS location and direction of travel, you’ll be introduced to all aspects of the Rockies’ natural and human history including geology, geography, habitats, wildlife, glaciers, icefields, the natives’ history, the early explorers and mountaineers, the building of the railway, and the naming history of the mountains and other features.

Please note that our audio guide is direction-dependent because the views you have depend on the direction of travel. For example, when you drive from Banff to Jasper you will hear a different set of content than what you will hear when you drive from Jasper to Banff.

Developed and recorded by Dave Birrell – a Canadian Rockies author and accredited professional guide with the Interpretive Guides Association – your Parks Companion Audio guide features unmatched information about the region. You get all the interesting stories, facts, and suggested stops for viewpoints, wildlife, short hikes, and points of interest -in your own vehicle as you enjoy the parks at your own pace through your own iPhone or iPad. (Please note that the GPS capability is part of the 3G chipset, and is only present in the 3G iPads.)

Makes a perfect “companion” to the Banff Park Companion, Yoho Park Companion, Kootenay Park Companion, and Jasper Park Companion (also available on the App Store).
