The Just Ahead: Audio Travel Guide is the newest must have app for all your National Park travels. What sets this apart is the detailed, play by play audio guide. At every turn the app lets you know what to look for, whats coming up next and points not to miss.  The best part once the app is downloaded you don't need GPS or WiFI for it to keep you on track. Bonus! In my mind this is perfect! It elevates the need for lots of books (although I do love my books) Fits in your pocket and can be downloaded before your trip for ease of use.

Using GPS, the app pinpoints your location on the road and delivers stories about the sights you’re seeing out the window, plus maps and turn-by-turn directions, including suggestions for what to check out around each corner.

The destination guides are produced and narrated by road-seasoned pros--editor Bob Howells has won Society of American Travel Writers awards for adventure reporting twice--and after you download the free app, you can purchase individual guides for $8 to $10. (Just be sure to do so before you hit the road so you can still access the information even if you're offline.)

Just Ahead has you covered for Yosemite, Zion, Cedar Breaks, Bryce Canyon, Joshua Tree and Death Valley so far, and 12 additional park guides--including the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone--will be rolled out by June 30, just in time for that big summer road trip.

Love my Lowa's! I hike miles and miles a week and a great boot is key. These were ready for a long weekend right out of the box! My first adventure was a 28 mile backpacking trip. Great fit, great comfort, exactly what I was expecting. These boot have it all. While I love the color, I got this boot primarily because it is a fantastic boot!
