Weather

Rain is a non-factor here almost every month — the real story of the year is temperature, swinging from January's cooler stretch to June's peak heat. In November, expect highs around 24°C with rain on roughly 2 days of the month.

Things to Do

The Grand Canyon anchors a visit, with Sedona's red rock formations and Antelope Canyon's slot canyons as popular add-ons.

Local Cuisine

Try Sonoran hot dogs and Southwestern dishes with Native American and Mexican influences.
