Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and Wright Brothers National Memorial have announced several new ways for visitors to digitally connect with their national park sites.<\/p>\n

The recently released National Park Service (NPS) mobile app, available for free download in the\u00a0iOS App Store<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Google Play Store<\/a>, gives the public up-to-date information about all 423 national parks in one easy-to-use app.<\/p>\n

Included in the NPS mobile app are new audio tours available for Cape Hatteras National Seashore, Fort Raleigh National Historic Site, and Wright Brothers National Memorial, as well as up-to-date information on ranger-guided interpretive programs for the upcoming summer season.<\/p>\n

A virtual tour of Cape Hatteras Lighthouse also is now available that allows visitors both onsite and across the world to virtually experience a climb of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and to explore 360-degree views from the lighthouse. The tour features historic images and educational information, too.<\/p>\n

In partnership with\u00a0Outer Banks Forever<\/a>, a webcam was recently placed on the top of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, allowing visitors to check out the live view and observe weather and beach conditions.<\/p>\n
