Some Like It Hot
Undeniably Desert
Monument Valley. Temperature averages in triple digits. The state flower is a cactus. You know what you're getting in Arizona: a desert lover's paradise. You'll get hot, dry summers and cool, mild winters. You'll also get some of the most amazing year-round opportunities for adventure in the surrounding forest and mountain regions - including spots that receive significant snowfall. It's unlike most of the rest of the United States, which is what makes it such a unique and interesting state.
Ever skied in the desert?
Just make sure your A/C is working, though.
Oh yeah, it has the Grand Canyon, too.
