october might just be the best month to visit ariz october might just be the best month to visit arizona ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŒต

up north, the aspens are turning gold and the mornings are crisp. down in phoenix, hiking season is finally making its comeback. add in cute pumpkin patches, fall festivals, cozy cabin weekends + scenic drives and thereโ€™s SO much to do this month.

a few things to know before visiting arizona in october:

๐Ÿ‚ head north for fall colors โ€” flagstaff, oak creek canyon, the mogollon rim + white mountains are some of my favorites
๐Ÿฅพ october is one of the best months to get back on the trails
๐ŸŽƒ phoenix has pumpkin patches, fall festivals + plenty of seasonal events
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

๐Ÿฅพ โ€œaโ€ mountain / hayden butte โ€” ~0.9 mi | easyโ€“moderate
a short but steep climb right in tempe with views over downtown, asu + the surrounding valley. perfect when you want a quick workout or sunset hike.

๐Ÿฅพ fat manโ€™s pass via national trail โ€” ~3.7 mi | moderate
this south mountain hike feels like a mini adventure! youโ€™ll hike through rocky desert terrain before squeezing through the giant boulders at fat manโ€™s pass.

๐Ÿฅพ camelback mountain via echo canyon โ€” ~2.5 mi | hard
one of the most iconic hikes in phoenix โ€” and definitely the toughest on this list. expect a steep climb, scrambling, handrails + a serious workout, with panoramic valley views from the summit. start early and bring plenty of water! a cave too!

๐Ÿฅพ hole-in-the-rock at papago park โ€” ~0.3 mi | easy
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
