Yellowstone

We learned about the Shaka Guide from Rich on Tech on KTLA. We used the Shaka Guide for the Black Hills, The Arches and Canyon Lands last year. It was amazing. This year, we went to Yellowstone. I don’t know how we would have spent three incredible days there without it. It was fantastic. We even learned the origins of the “Train Station” on the Yellowstone series -the “Dead Zone” in Wyoming in the park, where you could get away with murder….maybe.

The app helped a lot during our trip to Canyonlands and Arches National parks. Gave us more insights and information about the parks. Made the drive more enjoyable. I was very satisfied. Thank you!

Great Tours!

We found these when touring Hawaii several years ago. Was excited to find them for Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. Great directions, informative background information, some corny humor and quiet driving music. Will definitely be adding to our collection on future trips!
