BEST TIME TO VISIT ARIZONA

Autumn is perhaps the best time to travel to Arizona, but Spring - the epoch of the many local festivals - is also a good time.

The best time to visit Arizona's south (Phoenix, Tucson, Tombstone) is September through April.

If you intend to visit the Grand Canyon, Spring and Fall are also the best times (early Spring and late Fall are the best for those who want to avoid crowds).

Arizona's winters tend to be mild and sunny, with rare cold days. Winter is a popular travel season.


WHEN NOT TO GO TO THE ARIZONA

Avoid Summer in the south, in places as Phoenix. It's crazily hot. Summer is humid and hot in most Arizonian cities and in the desert areas.

If you want to avoid crowds in the Grand Canyon south rim, avoid the Summer, and the weekends and the times when schools aren't closed. In you want to go to the Grand Canyon during the summer, do it during the week and avoid weekends.

Remember that The Grand Canyon north rim facilities are closed between mid October till May.
