๐Ÿ•๏ธ desert camping season is starting, but northern arizona nights can get COLD
โ˜€๏ธ phoenix can still be pretty warm during the day, especially early in the month
โ„๏ธ flagstaff + higher elevations can see freezing temps and even early snow (they just did!!)

and yes, you can go from saguaros to golden aspens in the same weekend ๐ŸคŽ

a super short walk to a natural opening in the red sandstone with views over the valley. great for sunrise, sunset or an easy outdoor stop when you donโ€™t have much time
