Arizona State Parks

Arizona State Parks and Trails will host festive holiday events across the state from December through early January, offering families opportunities to experience seasonal traditions ranging from Victorian-era celebrations to candlelight tours and visits with Santa Claus.

Join forces with Kartchner Caverns State Park in Benson, Ariz. to help support the local community with a food drive now through December.  The park is hosting the food drive in partnership with The Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.

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.
