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!

Mt. Lemmon is the second trip where I've used this app. All in all, the app is very useful and adds value to the trip. My only quibble is that the announcer mispronounces significant words. In the Mt. Lemmon trip, he said 'pre-sipes' for precipices (small ledges) and 'sag-warro' for saguaro. Same was true in the Yosemite trip although I can't think of any examples at the moment.

I appreciate you pointing out the mispronunciations—I’ll address that in future updates.

Good info, easy to follow. Appreciated the geo tracking aspect of it. Not too dry and nice sounding voice. Would use again.

Info was great, but each chapter seemed to end before the last sentence was complete. I’m fairly certain it wasn’t because I was driving too fast.

John, I’m thrilled you enjoyed my Mount Lemmon Self-Guided Driving Audio Tour and found the info excellent. You’re correct—it’s undoubtedly because the speed limit shown on the app wasn’t followed, which can cause the chapters to end early. If you’re ready to explore more, check out my Ultimate Arizona Self-Guided Driving and Walking Tour Bundle for more adventures like the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Sedona—all with the same flexibility and convenience. Happy exploring!
