Experience nature through Soundtrails
Soundtrails are self-paced trails with locative audio recordings designed to immerse you in the stories of your surroundings. Using GPS technology, the stories are delivered as you make your way along the trail via an interactive app platform, suitable for most mobile devices. The original compositions, local voices, and world class production truly bring places and their stories to life. Download the Soundtrails app and come up and explore New England High Country:
1. Download the Soundtrails app from the App Store or Google Play. (It’s free)!
2. Open the Soundtrails app and enable location services.
3. Find a Soundtrail you would like to explore and select download.
4. Connect your headphones or turn up your speakers and follow the map trail listening to the stories as you go.
You can also listen to Soundtrail stories via the mobile app without physically being in that location. After step 3, simply press on the green shaded areas displayed on the map and listen to the stories.
