Arizona State Parks

Arizona State Parks and Trails has added one session to its fall events with the Arizona Family Campout. Families who are beginner campers can register now for the program's last campout of the year at Lost Dutchman State Park on Dec. 6-7, 2025.

Picacho Peak State Park is teaming up for the second year in a row with Pinal County Animal Care and Control (PCACC) to bring back a popular community program this fall. From November through April, shelter dogs from PCACC will get a field trip on a monthly basis for walks at the park.

Arizona’s fall weather is the perfect time to head outdoors. While other states deal with snow and residents plan to stay indoors, the Sonoran Desert is open and welcoming visitors. Fall rain has made the desert bloom with green, and mild winter weather means this is the best time to hit the trails.
