Canyon Adventures

Enjoyed the helpful tips along the way!!

Loved that this app is location aware and gives turn-by-turn instructions to reach your destination (route specific). There is room for improvement in that other features could add to a GC visitor’s tour experience, such as distress signal/request for emergency assistance (in case of accident or bike malfunction), and an option to hear park specific information and/or history. For example, an audio of the El Tovar history and cultural significance, information about the lookout points, and the history of the cultures of land occupants. Make this optional so those who are not interested are not overwhelmed or overstimulated. Also, if you want riders to get off their bikes and walk across pedestrian crossings, add that reminder in the current interactive audio. (Although that instruction was provided to all riders prior to departure, I did not see a single rider do this when out on the trail.)

This app gave us perfect directions as we rode from our bike rental location along the various trails of the Grand Canyon. It’s a brilliant idea that is well executed. Great app!
