Finally! More snow has arrived in parts of Arizona this weekend. If you’re trying to decide where in Arizona you should check out the snow this winter that will bring a smile to your face or drop your jaw, here are some places that you definitely need to check out:
- Sedona is usually a pretty awesome place to see snow, especially how it contrasts with the red rocks.

John Fowler/Flickr Here’s a chillier view of the same area. That looks both amazing and cold!
- Of course, Flagstaff is almost always a guarantee for amazing snowy shots.

Jan Messersmith/Flickr Or here at the San Francisco Peaks. How much snow do you think the Peaks will get this year?
- Driving to and seeing the Grand Canyon this time of year is simply magical after snowfall.

Grand Canyon National Park/Flickr …and perhaps even this if you’re lucky.
- Prescott is another place to see snow each year.
Dagny Gromer/Flickr You can barely see the town!
Michael Wilson/Flickr Here is a frozen Watson Lake in Prescott.
Michael Wilson/Flickr Here’s another view of the lake. A little less frozen but still cold.
- Another jaw dropping snow spot? Monument Valley.

- The Mogollon Rim is a must-see every winter!

Coconino National Forest/Flickr Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Pinetop, and so many other towns are great places to stay to enjoy the snow.
- And further south? The Phoenix area doesn’t usually see snow (maybe a bit of frost) but the mountain ranges around it often do.

midiman/Flickr The Four Peaks, of course.
Broderick Delaney/Flickr And the Superstition Mountains look pretty covered in snow.
- Other places include the mountains around Tucson. The Santa Catalinas, Santa Rita, and Rincon Mountains all occasionally see snow in the winter and it’s always a rare treat.

- Also, be prepared to see more snow in your Facebook timeline!
