Mt. Lemmon Scenic Byway
One of the most fascinating features about this highway is how the climate changes as we drive. From start to finish, it’ll feel like we’ve driven vertically across the entire US, from south to north. Why is that? Because we’ll be gaining 6,000 feet of elevation along the way! Note: This 33+ mile-long tour covers the essentials of Mount Lemmon in 2-3 hours. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

Soldier Trail
Soldier Trail is up ahead. This challenging 5-mile out-and-back hike features Saguaro, prickly pears, and a 2,000-foot elevation gain!

Great information/facts coincide with your drive. We really enjoyed this! Yes-the narration does begin before getting on the mountain.

Chrystine, I’m glad you enjoyed my Mount Lemmon Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour. It’s great that the narration and facts added to your drive and made the experience even better. And yes, the stories kick off before you get on the mountain to set the stage. If you’re up for more scenic drives, check out my Arizona tours bundle featuring Saguaro, Sedona, and more!

Absolutely gorgeous drive. Narration was interesting and well presented. BUT the audio for each stop started just one syllable into the first word and ended too soon - before the end of the last sentence. Was annoying. And the last leg to the Sky Center was closed. Planned to do a full loop back to the hotel. Had to turn around at the ski hill and come back the way we went. Should be some way to know that before starting. Disappointing.

Thank you for sharing your experience with my Mount Lemmon Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour, Barb. I’m glad you enjoyed the drive and found the narration engaging! The audio may not sync perfectly if you drive over the recommended speed. I always encourage everyone to follow the suggested speeds within the app for the best experience. Additionally, it’s wise to check the latest updates on access and opening hours for the Sky Center to avoid any unexpected closures. Our tours are valid for a year, so you can revisit and hopefully have a smoother experience next time. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us directly.

The app was great to use for a travel guide explaining the geologic formations and timeline that is observable throughout the drive. We were defintiely glad we made the purchase before out trip.
