ZionQuest from GeoQuestTech.com is one of the reference applications that grip you immediately. Trust me, you will spend much more time with it than you had planned to initially.
As the name implies, ZionQuest covers the Zion National Park. The 200MB download is an early indication that you are in for a treat and the application does not disappoint. It is an in-depth guide to all aspects of Zion National Park and it is as helpful in planning your trip as it is once you are there.
Maps of the park and its plentiful attractions help with the initial orientation. Descriptions of individual walks include many photos and video segments
Once installed, start exploring its many features. Among them are:
- Custom, interactive map of Zion National Park, showing tour locations and popular hiking trails.
- Dozens of exclusive videos describing the various hiking trails, popular tour locations, all shuttle bus stops in Zion National Park
- Hundreds of photos of Zion National Park organized by location
- Trail guides with detailed trail information
- A trip planner that includes; Park fees, Park Seasons and Hours, Shuttle System, Permit Requirements, Activities for Kids, Ranger-lead Activities, Weather and Climate, and Camping details and locations.
- Detailed information about the park shuttle system with Springdale shuttle system map, shuttle system hints and tips.
- Many other features
Detailed descriptions of a hike and a very good trail guide help you to find your way around Zion National Park
Overall, I was amazed and blown away by the many details I found in this app. Being no stranger to the Zion National Park (Joe and I visited it a few years ago), we recognized many of the different places we had been, some of the trails we had hiked and many of the landmarks we had photographed. In retrospect I wish I had this app with me, since our experience would have been even better. So if you plan to go to Zion National Park, this app is a must for you.
The only downside: It does not include a topographic map at the detail level that Tom Harrison’s maps have (see our review) But then you cannot get everything in life and certainly not at the price this app sells for.
Our verdict: Highly recommended and an easy Editor’s Pick!
Price: $4.99 from iTunes.
