9 Spots In Arizona That Will Drop Your Frozen Jaw

Winter in Arizona certainly brings about some much-needed relief from the heat. It's also a great time to head outdoors and enjoy the cold, especially in places that see snow.  If you're trying to decide where in Arizona you should check out the snow this winter that will bring a smile to your face or drop your jaw, here are some places that you definitely need to check out:

This amazing shot was taken at West Fork in Sedona where parts of the seasonal waterfall were frozen in place.

Here's a chillier view of the same area. That looks both amazing and cold!

Like at Sunset Crater, which you can see covered in snow in the following video by @thesacredsage4699:

Or here at the San Francisco Peaks. How much snow do you think the Peaks will get this year? Regardless, Flagstaff is one of the best Arizona winter spots.

You can see sights like this...

...and this...

...and perhaps even this if you're lucky. Keep in mind, however, that only the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is open during the winter months. The North Rim is only open between May 15 and Oct. 15.

You can barely see the town!

Here is a frozen Watson Lake in Prescott.

Here's another view of Watson Lake. A little less frozen but still cold. This lake is gorgeous no matter the time of year but takes on a magical quality in Arizona in winter.

Take a look at this drone footage of Prescott covered in snow by @azfamily:

The area is even more stunning when snow covers the park.

Payson, Pine, Strawberry, Pinetop, and so many other towns are great places to stay to enjoy the snow around the Mogollon Rim.

This one was taken in North Scottsdale. What a sight!

Take a look at this video of snow in Phoenix by @TheArizonaRepublic1:

The Four Peaks, of course.

And the Superstition Mountains, nearly 40 miles east of Phoenix, look pretty covered in snow.

If you're one of those folks who moved to Arizona to avoid snow (I know several), looking at it on your screen is always an option as well.
