Arizona's Best Kept Secret: Fall! (It's Not Just About the Heat)

Arizona's Best Kept Secret: Fall! (It's Not Just About the Heat)

You've heard of Arizona summers, but locals know the best season is when the heat finally breaks. Fall here is a secret second spring, full of vibrant color, perfect weather, and unique harvest celebrations.

Ready to trade your flip-flops for hiking boots? Here's your quick guide to a perfect Arizona autumn.


 

1. Chase the Color (Up North)

 

While the desert is lovely, head north for classic fall foliage. This is where Arizona truly surprises:

  • Flagstaff's Golden Aspens: Take the Arizona Snowbowl Scenic Gondola for a bird's-eye view of mountainsides covered in shimmering gold.

  • Sedona's Red Rock Contrast: Drive or hike along Oak Creek Canyon. The deep greens and yellows of the cottonwood trees pop spectacularly against the brilliant red rocks.


 

2. Festival Fun (In the Valley)

 

The moment the high temperatures are gone, the fun begins. Fall is festival season in the Phoenix and Tucson areas:

  • Pumpkin Patches & Corn Mazes: Embrace the harvest at local favorites like Schnepf Farms or Tolmachoff Farms for hayrides, petting zoos, and corn mazes.

  • Cultural Celebrations: Look for events celebrating Día de los Muertos in late October/early November. You'll find community altars and colorful marigolds, traditionally used in the celebrations.


 

3. Bring the Arizona Autumn Inside with Four Seasons Flowers
