Best Time To Visit Scottsdale?

YEAR ROUND! No, but seriously. Arizona typically gets 9-10 months of amazing weather. However it can also bring some intense summer heat, so try to avoid the middle of summer. Although Arizona thrives during the summer still, it does get scorching hot in June and July! Either way be sure to pack enough sun screen and drink plenty of water!

Enjoy!!
