LISTENING & TAKING
THE AUDIO TOUR:
Part One of the audio tour includes 10 audio
segments describing historic sites along a portion of the Barbary
Coast
Trail. The location of each historic site is marked on your map.
Also included is an Introduction segment. Part Two includes
15 audio segments plus the same Introduction segment. Part
Three includes 14 audio segments plus the same Introduction segment.
Part One, Part Two and Part Three together describe all the designated
sites along the entire Barbary Coast Trail.
At the beginning of each audio segment,
an audio tour guide will announce the
Site Name
and Location.
If
you are already

site, continue
playing the segment. If you are not
at the site, press your “pause” or “off” button
until you reach the site, then press “play” to
proceed with the audio segment.
At the conclusion of the recorded site information
for each stop, you will hear an Audio
Cue,
which is the sound
of a
bell being
rung. The
Audio Cue will indicate that the audio portion for
that site has concluded.

both ways, cross only at cross-walks
and only when you
have a green
light.
We recommend
