Last year I spent Summer in the Northwest and BC. I love Arizona so I am trying to spend most of my time in Arizona. I spent the last four months in the Imperial Valley and Quartzite and Ehrenburg. Everything is close, so moved around that area. That area went into the 90's so went to Wickenburg but the elevation is only 2000? feet so it was still too warm for me and my dog. Came up here to Cottonwood near Sedona and not only is it nice and cool, (70s) but very beautiful. I recently learned it is all about elevation for a great Summer, and not North or South. I think it is possible to spend all four seasons in Arizona.
