Best Time to Visit Arizona
Arizona gets extremely hot in the summer. For example, the normal average high of Phoenix during the summer is 95.5 °F. Therefore, it’s best to avoid visiting during the summer months.
If you do visit in the summer, stick to hiking only in the morning or evening (avoid hiking between 10AM and 4PM). Also make sure to bring a lot of water and proper sun protection. The heat is no joke!
This means that the best time to visit Arizona is in the Spring or Fall, when you’ll get to enjoy mild weather. Winter brings occasional snow, but is also a nice time to visit as long as you check road and trail conditions ahead of time.
