What to expect

Your tour of the Mount Lemmon Scenic Byway begins on the outskirts of Tucson. From there, you’ll cruise up, up, up, and away into the Catalina Mountains. As your path winds upwards, you’ll hear what created these remarkable “sky islands” and learn about the tribes who lived here long ago.

Stop at scenic vistas to gaze across Tucson and the vast desert beyond. Visit towering waterfalls tucked in among the soaring rock formations. Take a stroll around the beautiful Rose Canyon Lake. And finally reach the highest heights of Mount Lemmon at the SkyCenter Observatory, where this tour concludes. By the time you reach the top, you'll have traveled through centuries, all from the comfort of your car!

But Arizona’s stories don’t end there. Your next chapter awaits in the vast expanses of Saguaro National Park. Here, the desert isn’t silent; it speaks in the language of towering cacti, ancient petroglyphs, and diverse fauna. As your guide narrates your journey, you’ll find yourself amidst tales of age-old rituals, settlers, and the delicate dance of conservation.

Witness the desert as more than just sand and spikes; see it as a living, breathing chronicle of history and nature entwined. Hike through a forest of towering saguaro cacti, visit an old movie set turned theme park, and so much more! This tour includes both East and West Saguaro National Park.
