Really love the Maui guide, so I bought the Rocky Mountain National Park guide, however, I found it a bit sparse on information and not very engaging.

Best $15 I’ve ever spent!

We used the Rocky Mountain National Park version and saw so much of the park as a result. Directions were spot on, helpful, and informative. Stories fill in on some longer times between spots. If I had to make a suggestion, allow the user to listen to their own music during downtime.
