Zion National Park Trails

Don't get lost at Zion National Park! People are getting lost there on a regular basis, often needing to be rescued. Why? Because they don't have this app! With its free, downloadable Topo map of the entire park.

This handy guide contains descriptions and trail maps for over 30 National Park Service trails in Zion National Park! The maps and route information are included with the app download. After that, no Internet connection is required to use them.

If you enable your GPS, you can see exactly where you are on a trail. You can get a GPS signal in most places except for very narrow, deeps canyons. You do not need a cell phone signal for the GPS to work.

Immediate Map Access
=================

Unlike other apps, our offline map is installed with your app download. Once you download Zion National Park Trails, no further cell phone connection is needed to use our map. As long as you have a GPS signal, you can see where you are in the park, from anyplace in Zion. If you can get a GPS signal, you will know where you are!

Our offline map is very handy because once you leave the area of the Visitor Center and campgrounds, cell phone signals become weak or nonexistent. Plus, there is never a data charge for using our offline map.

Other apps claim not to need WiFi or Internet access for the map. But in fact until the entire map is accessed and zoomed at multiple levels, these apps definitely need Internet access. Not so with the American Outback app: once you install Zion National Park Trails, the basic trails map is instantly available.

FREE USGS Topographic Terrain Map Download
===================================

If you are a hiker then you know the value of the US Geological Survey topo maps. Now you can carry them with you, in your device, and at no cost to you! That's right, Zion Trails includes a free, optional download (230 mb)* of a USGS topo map of Zion National Park. When overlaid with the trail routes in our app, you have a terrain-accurate trail guide, plus your current location displayed on it, without the need for any sort of cell phone or Internet connection. Magnificent!

Differences from our full Zion National Park app
==================================

This free Zion National Park Trails app only contains National Park Service charted trails. It does not contain "unofficial" trails, such as Menu Falls, Lower Pine Creek, and so on. These are only available from the full Zion National Park app.

The trail routes in the full app, which include GPS guides to the trailheads, multiple photographs and descriptions from actual trail visits, are not included in this trails-only app. This includes Virgin Narrows, East Mesa Trail, Taylor Creek Trail, and several hikes off the shuttle stops on Canyon Drive.

Additionally, none of the GPS Drive Guides included in the full app are available from this app. This includes the East Zion scenic drive, the South Zion entrance drive, Kolob Canyons, and Canyon Drive.

The full Zion National Park app also contains information about places outside of the park, such as Grafton Ghost town, and places in the nearby town of Springdale.

Notes
====

* USGS topo map is pretty large, about 230 megabytes. We recommend downloading this over a WiFi connection. If the download fails, uninstall and reinstall the app, then try again!
