If you’re visiting Arizona, consider making a day of it by hiking in the city’s parks. The desert is alive with colorful cacti, and the parklands are lush, green, and full of wildflowers. Plus, the mountains are all around Phoenix, making hiking in these parks a wonderful option instead of a gym session. Climbing a mountain peak is far more rewarding than looking down on an entire city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather in Phoenix is generally pleasant, with temperatures averaging 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
