Rocky Mountain GPS Audio Tours

Are you ready to take a sophisticated journey through the Canadian Rockies?

As you listen to our GPS-Tour of the Canadian Rockies, we will be discussing various aspects of the mountain landscape and relating the commentary to what you are seeing at that time.

The Routes
All the roads in Banff, Kootenay and Yoho National Parks are featured, as well as the Trans-Canada Highway from the mountain front to the park boundary and the Icefields Parkway to Jasper Townsite.

A GPS Tour Guide
Simply plug the device in and through the magic of GPS, as you reach each of over 1500 locations along the 1300km of mountain highways, the corresponding audio information is played.  The unit always knows where you are and which direction you are traveling, so you’re always listening to commentary that relates to what you are seeing.  There are no maps, brochures, tapes, cd’s, or odometer settings to worry about.  As you enjoy the views, interpretive information and stories related to what you are seeing is heard.  It’s the ideal way to connect what you are actually looking at to the natural and human history of the mountains.

These units may be rented at the Bear & the Butterfly for $39.95 / day
