When to Experience Fall Colors in Arizona
Timing is everything when it comes to Arizona foliage:
-
High Elevations (Northern Arizona): Colors begin to appear in late September, peaking throughout October. Locations like Flagstaff and Oak Creek Canyon are breathtaking this time of year.
-
Mid to Lower Elevations: Areas such as Verde Valley and parts of Southern Arizona often see peak colors into early December.
With Diamond Transportation, you can plan your trip according to peak foliage schedules while enjoying a worry-free, luxurious ride. Our chauffeurs track road conditions, ensure timely pickups, and allow you to fully enjoy the scenery.
