About The Tour

Explore an iconic landscape of the American Southwest at Saguaro National Park. Hike across wide open vistas, see the remnants of ancient civilizations, and enjoy the unique plant and animal life of the Sonoran Desert. It's a great way to experience Saguaro National Park on your own time and with your own personal guide at your fingertips.

Here are just a few of the fun things you can do on the tour!

• Explore spectacular saguaro cactus forests on a lovely loop hike, the Brown Mountain Trail.

• Learn about desert adaptations and survival, and perhaps get a peek at a roadrunner while strolling through the Desert Discovery Nature Trail.

• Get close up views of mysterious petroglyphs, believed to be created by the ancient Hohokam culture, at Signal Hill.

• Visit the Desert Museum! Part zoo, part museum, part botanical garden, part art gallery, there's something for everybody at this unique institution.

• Enjoy climbing around ancient rock formations at Javelina Rocks, a window into Saguaro's unique geological history.

I have lived in AZ my whole life and learned more about geology, history, and ecology on the Mt. Lemmon Tour than I ever did in school!

Incredible app. Loved your Mt Lemmon experience. And downloaded a bunch others. Highly recommend this app if they have a guided tour for a road trip you are doing. They tell you so much information and where to stop.
