MORE THAN A SEARCH / 01
Make room for a day you’ll remember.
It’s a Saturday with your kids. Catching up with a friend. Finally getting out of town for the afternoon. You want a good day together, not another hour spent deciding where to go.
We do the exploring first. Every list and itinerary is curated and vetted by humans, so you can spend less time second-guessing and more time being there.

HOW IT WORKS / 02

Explore
Take a human-curated itinerary or make the day your own. Leave room for lunch, a walk, and the people who came with you.
CURATED LIST · WORTH THE DRIVE
LISTS / 03
Start with one place, or a whole plan
Built around how you spend a day.
Browse restaurants, outdoor places, small towns, and historic sites. Or start with a list for a real occasion: a rainy Saturday, a drive worth taking, or a town to show out-of-town guests. Each list is curated and vetted by humans before it reaches you.
A look at our exploration. App listing links will be available when the app is released.
Lunch worth a detour.
Drunken noodles at Thai Samurai. A good meal can be the reason to go, not just a stop along the way.
A little more time outside.
Newfound Gap. Trade another hour indoors for mountain views and a different pace.
Something better than another screen.
Ozone Falls in Cumberland County, Tennessee. The sound, the spray, the pause—you have to be there for it.
Make room for a stop along the way.
Country View Market in Charlotte, Tennessee. A local market and a reason to slow down instead of driving straight through.
There’s a story here.
Montgomery Bell Chapel at Montgomery Bell State Park, a historic Cumberland Presbyterian Church site. Look beyond the main attractions and a place can tell you more.
A day you can share.
Druid Hills Golf Club in Cumberland County, Tennessee. A change of scenery and time together can be the whole point of the day.
A reason to get out of town.
Waterloo Falls. Leave room for a place that makes you stop and stay a little longer.

The stops already fit together
Plan a day trip or a weekend.
Each itinerary is curated and vetted by humans who have explored the route. The stops fit together: where to begin, where to eat, what’s nearby, and when to head home. Save the whole day or take the stops that work for you.
XPLR CONTENT / 06
See it before you go
See more than a map pin.
Places in XPLR GUIDE connect to original XPLR photos and videos from the team’s visit. Watch the video, see the space, hear the waterfall, then decide whether it’s the kind of place you want to spend your day.
THE STANDARD / 07
Curated. Vetted. Human.
Less searching. More doing.
Every place in XPLR GUIDE was visited in person by a real human on the XPLR team and vetted to make sure it meets our standard. Not scraped from the internet. So when you open this app, you can stop researching and start going.
XPLR GUIDE is free, and every place in it is free to explore.

BUILT BY EXPLORERS / 08
The guide is new. The exploring isn’t.
Years of Tennessee exploring, in one app.
Before XPLR GUIDE was an app, XPLR.NASH spent years driving Tennessee’s back roads, eating in small-town diners, walking trails, and telling local stories. XPLR GUIDE brings that work together in a distinct app built to help you get out the door.
Know the videos? The guide brings the places behind them together.
XPLR.NASH tells the stories. XPLR GUIDE turns years of exploration into human-curated and vetted places, lists, and days you can actually take.
