With over 420 national parks, the U.S. National Park Service has drawn countless people to explore the wonders of nature and the roads, trails and wildlife in its properties, something that's set to be promoted further with the introduction of a new and fully unified national parks app.
The brand new National Park Service app includes an array of tools that include interactive maps, tours and other information created by the staff and park rangers who know the parks better than anyone else.
What's great about this new national parks app is that it allows users to download content from their park of interest so that they can use it offline. This feature is handy when exploring areas of parks where internet service ay be unreliable.
The new national parks app also offers the advantage of not requiring you to download a different app for each national park you may visit.
