These Small Towns in Arizona Come Alive in Fall

"Arizona is famous for both its bold, beautiful landscape of red rock and its sweltering summer heat. After dealing with the warm weather for months, autumn ushers in. The cooler temperatures offer new opportunities to enjoy the state. There is no better time to take advantage of the gorgeous Arizona landscape than in the fall. The cooler air, changing leaves, and harvest celebrations offer endless things to do in the state. The small towns in Arizona have a particular charm during this time. You can see stunning foliage against red rocks in Sedona or enjoy some pumpkin pie at the Pumpkin Festival in Willcox. The Arizona small towns are definitely worth a visit come autumn. Here are a few to put on the top of your list.

There is no better town to start your Arizona fall road trip off with than Show Low. Located on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona's White Mountains, the town is a nature lover's dream.
