Thank you for expressing your concern! The tour is valid for a lifetime and can be used for multiple visits. You can use the tour as many times as you want, and you can also listen to the audio at home. The app will not be affected if you update your phone, but it will be affected if an update for the app is available and you install it. The purchase tour will be there, but if you happen to lose it, you can contact us, and we will help you get it back.

Indeed, the audio tour has no expiry date – it is accessible from the moment you book until eternity! Additionally, you may activate, pause, and return to any park at any moment.

I’m not sure I understand your question! This tour is entirely self-guided, so you can stop at any of the points of interest along the drive — no matter what time you’re driving!

I don't know entrance names. Rte 9 (I believe that's the right number) comes north through Springdale, which abuts Zion Nat'l Park, then through the park, and then out toward Bryce Canyon. I know only of the entrances at either end of the park on that road. We entered the park from Sprindale, drove through it and out the other side (the old and historical tunnel is at that far end), and then up to Bryce. We reversed the route on the way home. We had no problem entering at either entry point. Hope this helps.

Actually, the audio tour no longer has an expiration — it is available from the minute you book until forever! So don’t worry about booking it today or on the day you travel.

Great question! The tour does point out hikes along the way, including short hikes/walks and longer ones. It doesn’t necessarily point out every single hike in every park (especially overnight or multi-day backpacking hikes), so the best place for 100% of the hiking info would be the park website.

Yes, you can manually control the stops on the Utah self-guided tours if you prefer. There are three ways to do this — First Method: on the List View, select the stop you want to hear. This will open the Stop Page and you can hit the play button to listen to the audio. Second Method: on the Map View, select the stop you want to hear. The title will pop up. Select the title. This will open the Stop Page where you can hit play. Third Method: once you are already on a Stop Page, hit the next or back arrows on the bottom. This will take you forward or backward one stop at a time. I’d recommend trying these out before you arrive at the parks so that you get familiar with each method! One important note — most of the Utah parks aren’t loops. For example, consider Arches, Canyonlands, or Bryce. There’s only one entrance and one road. You can certainly skip some of the recommended detours and do those on the way back though. If you have any more questions, please let us know.

Great question! The itinerary you have described would work just fine! You could do Zion and Bryce first and the rest of the tours later on. (If you’re doing the rest more than 4 weeks after Zion, then just let us know — we will make sure that your password works until well after your travel dates!) You can contact us with your specific plans via email. The “3 day duration” can be ignored — it’s just something that TripAdvisor requires from us in its listing format (our estimated minimum time needed to do every tour in the Utah Combo).

Yes, absolutely! The parks in the Utah Combo can be visited in any order. For example, one popular itinerary order is Arches, Canyonlands, Monument Valley, Zion, Bryce, and Grand Staircase. That one works well if you’re flying in/out of Salt Lake City. Another popular order is Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase, Arches, Canyonlands, and Monument Valley. This one is common as a roundtrip out of Las Vegas. (Note: Monument Valley may be closed based on your travel date. Zion requires a park shuttle ticket for part of the drive). And yes, the audio plays through your phone. Based on your car, it can also connect to your car speakers via Bluetooth. You’ll first download the app onto your phone and then download the tours you plan to take. Once you’re at the park, you’ll hit “start”. The tour will guide you through the entire park. As you drive, it will automatically play audio stories based on where you are.
