Best Part of National Parks
We’ve used Shaka at Yellowstone, Arches, and Glacier and it’s the best part of our vacation. The history, the stops, the directions are all amazing. The voices on Shaka are not boring or monotonous but engaging and easy listening. Don’t hesitate! Shaka 🤙 Doesn’t disappoint!

Show MoreIs parking free in Downtown Gettysburg?
Yes, parking can be free—but only if you park in the Tour Center lot, and only in the section that’s newly paved and has the antique-style streetlights. Make sure you’re in that part of the lot to avoid any issues.
If you park along the walking route (on the street), you’ll have to pay at a meter. Rates usually run around $2 to $3 per hour.
To make things easier, download the Pay by Phone app from the App Store or Google Play before you come. It’s the fastest way to handle metered parking.
Can I walk the entire tour?
Yes! The tour is just under three miles total (round-trip), so it’s a manageable walk for most people. There are plenty of spots along the way to sit and take a break if you need to.
