🌍 About Phoenix

Phoenix sits in the Sonoran Desert, and the desert is the point: the Desert Botanical Garden has the world's largest collection of arid-climate plants, and Camelback Mountain is a hard, scrambly hike right inside the city — go at dawn before the rock bakes. Eat a Sonoran hot dog, the Tucson-born invention that crossed up from the border: a bacon-wrapped dog loaded with pinto beans, onions, tomato and jalapeño salsa, served from food trucks like El Sabroso. Come November to April — warm, dry, perfect, which is also why it's high season for snowbirds and the priciest stretch. Avoid June through August, when daytime highs sit above 110°F (43°C) and it's genuinely dangerous. The catch: the cheapest fares land in that brutal summer, so a deal here usually means heat.
