Spring
Wildflowers, mild temperatures - ideal for hikes, drives, and outdoor cultural events.
Summer
Focus on higher elevation escapes (Flagstaff, northern forests), early-morning activities, and shaded or indoor cultural visits for low desert areas.
Fall
Cooler days - perfect for scenic hikes, fall foliage in higher elevations, and festivals.
Winter
Mild desert outings and cultural sites in the south; snow and winter sports in the mountains, plan accordingly.
