I recently took the self-guided Mt. Lemmon tour with my partner, and we had the best time! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, especially at the lookouts.

Gifted the Mt. Lemmon tour—who else should I bring?

I'm thinking of gifting the Mt. Lemmon driving tour to my parents for their anniversary. They love nature and exploring new places, but I’m wondering if it's good for older folks? Any tips on who else would enjoy this? Would my kids like it too?
