As a native Arizonan, born & raised desert rat, currently living in Tucson. I can agree that Arizona is not for the faint of heart. My niece once said " Everything in Arizona is out to poke, stab, bite, &/or broil you." which is mostly true. We also have the giant Sahuaro cactus, short sleeve February, & bikini skying on Mount Lemmon during U of A winter break. When in Arizona, DO NOT try to smell the flowers, and if something buzzes, back away slowly. OH, best advice if you come to Arizona, don't let yourself get thirsty. because by the time you get thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Even during winter the air is so dry most that it sucks the moisture right out of your body.

I'm a transplanted Lizard, but a happy one. I've been here 19 years and love it more every day.
I'm from Yuma, so bikinis here are WAY over rated! I ride a motorcycle (I just bought a car after 5 years without) and I hydrate like crazy even when I'm not riding. This air on a motorcycle will make you be dead if you don't take care of that.
And the scenery at Havasu during spring break is amazing.
