The weather in Arizona is almost always good. So traveling to the state by air or car is generally easy and fun.
Driving from east or west, you have the option of using either I-40 or I-10. From the west, you may also take I-8, entering at Yuma, Arizona. From the north, US 89 and US 160 are popular routes.
From Mexico, entry points are Nogales, Douglas and Lukeville. For summer driving, it's always a good idea to take along extra water for trips through the desert regions. Be sure to carry chains if you plan to drive through northern Arizona during the winter months.
