I don’t know about you, but when parts of the state received a taste of snow last month, I couldn’t wait for more snow to arrive. Since El Niño is supposed to bring extra snow this winter (fingers crossed!), let’s take a look at some of the beautiful, snow-covered sights we can expect to see this year.
- Here’s a good start to this list: the San Francisco Peaks last month!

- Here’s a look at the Peaks seen from Sunset Crater a few years ago. Still a beautiful sight.

- In the Kendrick Park area, this two little structures sit alone in the snow.

- I’m not sure where this is but it is certainly beautiful. Hopefully we can see this amount of snow this year.

- Or what about this? I don’t think too many of us get to see Oak Creek when it’s covered in snow.

- The Grand Canyon looks beautiful throughout the year but it looks even more stunning when covered in snow.

- You could hike it as well but I would suggest ensuring you have some winter hiking experience under your belt before you attempt it.

- Sedona looks pretty with a coat of snow covering the red rocks.

- More proof of how well snow goes with red rocks.

- This spot looks almost unrecognizable if it weren’t for that chunk of petrified wood in the foreground.

- This looks like it could be Monument Valley but it is actually a couple of buttes on the Navajo Nation near Round Rock and Lukachukai.

- A favorite spot to see snow each year? Along the rim, of course!

- We also often get to see snow in places most people would least expect, such as Tucson.

- This is definitely a rare, but lovely, sight.

- Here’s a look at snow-covered mountains near Roosevelt Lake.

- Seeing snow on the Superstitions is an amazing sight, too!

- Even the Phoenix area gets graced with snow every once in awhile. This scene of the McDowell Mountains almost don’t look like Scottsdale.
