Cell Phone Audio Tours

Your phone provides a fun way to learn more about Grand Canyon National Park. You can listen to a park ranger give a two-minute narration on various aspects of the canyon from geology to Native American history to the night sky.

When visiting Grand Canyon National Park you can listen to these narrations at numerous points of interest on the South Rim from Hermit Road to Yaki Point. Just look for the “Park Ranger Audio Tour” signs, call 928-225-2907, and enter the stop number.

Since this is a phone tour, you can be anywhere along the rim where there is cell phone coverage to listen to the messages. Feel free to stroll along the rim as you listen, then stop and enjoy the view to reflect on what you have just learned.

There is no additional charge to listen to these messages.

Please be aware that cell phone coverage at Grand Canyon can be spotty and not all providers offer service in the park.
