Travelers

The morning air in Jackson Hole is thin and bright; you can hear the square waking up before you even leave your coffee cup. You tap open the TravelStorys app, and the map pinches and expands to your position — the voice on your headphones slides into place with the geometry of the street. It’s not a lecture, it’s a guide keyed to what you see: a weathered storefront, the track of an old stagecoach road, a hayfield that once fed fur trappers. The landscape answers back as the narrator names stones and stories.

Adventure Tips

Download before you go

Download the TravelStorys tour and any offline maps before entering low-coverage areas to avoid interruptions.

Pack a battery pack

GPS and audio drain phones quickly; bring a charger or portable battery for longer routes or scenic drives.

Use headphones and keep volume low

Headphones provide clarity and limit disturbance to wildlife and local residents; keep volume low near roads and trail junctions.

Respect trail rules and fragile sites

In parks like Yellowstone stay on boardwalks, obey signage, and maintain distance from wildlife for safety and conservation.

Local Insights

Wildlife

Elk (summer and fall in Jackson Hole)
Bison (common in Yellowstone and surrounding plains)

History

Jackson Hole sits on land historically used by Shoshone peoples and later shaped by 19th-century fur trappers and ranching routes; many tours highlight Indigenous history and early settlement patterns.

Conservation

Tours encourage staying on designated paths, minimizing noise, and following Leave No Trace; in thermal areas like Yellowstone, boardwalks protect fragile features and visitors.
