Well, it is the desert...
...but you don't shovel the sun. In all seriousness, Phoenix is hot in the
summer. But how hot is too hot? It all depends on how and where you choose to
spend your time. The greater Phoenix cities all offer reprieve from the sun and
temperatures during the summer however these months are also a fabulous time to
take advantage of summer deals and check out the host of museums and cultural
centers which abound. Golf fees are slashed in half, top restaurants offer
delicious prix fixe menus, and lots of hours in the pool are the norm.
