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!
Dayna | 2 months ago | AndroidIncredible 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.
