Arizona may be best known for its warm weather and dramatic desert landscapes, but this four-season destination offers adventure any time of year. Bring your snowboard or your stand-up paddleboard. It’s all fair game. Bluebird skies and pristine snow set the scene for a winter adventure at Greer’s Sunrise Park Resort, offering plentiful ski runs (green to double black diamond), plus cross-country skiing and tubing. In the cooler days of autumn, explore the West Fork of Oak Creek Trailhead in Coconino National Forest. You’ll find migrating birds and serene stream waters amid brilliant fall foliage. Hot summer days are best spent on the beach (yes, even in Arizona). At Lake Havasu State Park in Lake Havasu City, sprawl out on the white sand beaches, launch your boat and stay overnight in your tent or RV. Swathes of spring wildflowers blanket Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction. Stroll along the nature trails to see colorful brittlebush, lupines, desert hyacinths and chuparosa.
