Acerca de esta escucha
Rocky Mountain National Park’s Trail Ridge Road, famous for being the highest continuously paved highway in the United States, is an invigorating 40-mile drive. It takes you up and over the Rocky Mountains, linking the towns of Estes Park and Grand Lake. It offers spectacular views from exhilarating heights and fresh high-mountain air.
So hit the road and head for Colorado with Travel Audios’ park-approved 90-minute audio tour. Traveling from east to west, this guided tour begins near the town of Estes Park and climbs to an elevation of 12,183 feet before taking you down to the town of Grand Lake, where the tour concludes. Your views will be of verdant valleys and meadowlands, majestic mountain peaks, canyons cut by glaciers, and delicate alpine tundra. With a watchful eye, you are sure to see many of the park’s abundant birds and wildlife.
Throughout the tour, you’ll hear fascinating facts and stories from an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Rangers. They’ll describe the geological forces that created the park’s diverse landscape and stunning scenery. They’ll talk about life zones, forests, fires, and fragile plant communities. You’ll hear about the park’s numerous birds and wildlife, and, of course, its mascot: the Bighorn Sheep. And they’ll paint a clear picture of the park’s cultural history and bring to life the colorful characters who influenced the development of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Professionally narrated and loaded with great music and nature sounds (recorded on location) this tour is as entertaining as it is educational. You’ll receive a complimentary map at the Park’s entrance station if you wish to follow along.

In this poetic audiobook, hear the words of legendary outdoorsman John Muir's entreaty to the American people imploring them to develop, as he did, a connection to their national parks. An ardent outdoorsman, a gifted writer, a dedicated preservationist, and a spiritual beacon, John Muir worked in his life and in his writing to inspire everyone to find a love for the wilderness and to become invested in its preservation.

Yellowstone is a land of extreme diversity. Nowhere else will you find wolves, bison, and grizzlies living among the largest concentration of hot springs and geysers in the world. The park’s 2.2 million acres is an incongruous landscape of bubbling hot, lunar-like geothermal features, lush green rolling meadowlands, snow covered mountain peaks, colorful canyons, waterfalls, lakes and untamed rivers. It is a park so large, so complex and so fascinating it seems fitting that it owns the title as our world’s first national park! Travel Audios’ park approved audio tour will help you understand what you are seeing and smelling! It is not a mile-by-mile guide; it can be listened to anywhere. It features an impressive group of knowledgeable Park Ranger geologists, biologists and naturalists who explain the geological processes that created the landscape and why this area in Wyoming is such a geothermal hot spot. They’ll tell you about their studies and observations of the park’s wildlife and their experience with massive forest fires.

The San Luis Valley is a study in contrasts, evident in the 7,000-foot elevation gain from the low-lying valley floor to 14,345-foot Blanca Peak. The Great Sand Dunes are reminiscent of the Sahara Desert. Fourteen-thousand-foot peaks, the spire-like Crestone Needle, and its neighbor Crestone Peak - pride of the Sangre de Cristo ("Blood of Christ") Range - are the natural landmarks for the valley's eastern boundary.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

Don't Drive the Trail Ridge Road Without It!
I can't tell you how much we enjoyed this guide during our recent trip to Rocky Mountain National Park. Although the Trail Ridge road includes plenty of stops that include information about the area, this audio guide went way beyond simply pointing out scenery highlights. It includes interviews with park rangers, historical accounts of events that impacted the park (how a fire forever moved a tree line, for example) and sounds to support a particular topic. It is clear from the thorough, professional quality of this guide that quite a bit of research went into its creation. The pacing was good and each stop is planned out to the point that we never felt rushed to keep up with the narration or felt that it was too slow. I can't imagine anyone driving the Trail Ridge road without this audio guide.
