It's not easy to distinguish the best time to visit Arizona as incredible conditions for tourists can be found all year round. March through May can be a fantastic period with its pleasant temperatures and unbelievable blooms. This is when the number of visitors slowly starts to rise, but you can still make it to peaceful Antelope Canyon to catch a sunset. Summer in Arizona is hot and crowded, and many attractions are packed shoulder to shoulder with visitors. So it's better to inhale the fresh air by Cibecue, Havasu, or Tanque Verde Falls. Just like spring, fall is a joyful time to head to Arizona with warm weather and plenty to do. Don't miss witnessing a solar spotlight at the Anthem Veterans Memorial on Veteran’s Day in November. Choose winter if you’d prefer to save some money or can't stand messing with crowds. Numerous light parades and festivals will happily welcome you.
