Coming to Phoenix

As the eighth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S., Phoenix offers a multitude of cultural and recreational activities. Plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures make March a perfect time to visit Phoenix with an average daytime high of 75ºF (24ºC), and an average overnight low of 50ºF (10ºC). To go along with the comfortable weather is a very comfortable dress code -- jeans and Western wear are always in style!

Arizona is known as the land of contrasts. Visitors will enjoy exploring everything from the majestic Grand Canyon to the cactus-filled scenery of the Sonoran Desert. Many destinations can be reached in only a few hours by car from Phoenix. A concierge will be available at the Civic Plaza to assist with travel plans. In the meantime, go ahead and explore Arizona through these web site links!
