Yes, Northern Arizona here.

Only rich boomers can afford to travel up north and stay there until summer ends. You can't hike nor explore during summer because of the intense heat and sunlight. 100F to 110F (115F+ in some areas) is normal during summer.
>Tips/ advice for desert dwellers
Don't be retarded during summer. You're not brave for trying hike a trail during heatwave.

It's true. Summers where I live used to be hot but they were also windy and it was quite bearable once you got out. Now the air is so stale, the lack of wind makes everything feel even more dead under the heat, it's just bad. Also the skies are not as clear as they used to be. The swamps are even worse I guess.

I've lived in Scottsdale area for about 10 years. I would not recommend any kind of mountain hike right now. You can hike in low land (a wash), but I'd recommend staying put under the shade of a tree until sunset. There are lots of dangerous animals (snakes) during the day and other animals become active at night, which is also not safe for hiking, honestly.

TL;DR: Stay in shade and drink water if you are /out/ in the desert in summer.

I live and work innadesert. I’m still going out for work rn even though the highs are triple digits. I rescue the morons that make bad decisions.

the single biggest bad decision people make it not starting early enough. If I’m going out for a long day or an overnight right now, with sunrise at 6 I am on trail walking before 5:30.

I've been wandering the deserts of Arizona for about a decade. During the warm months, I usually just drive to wherever I'm hiking/camping. I usually stick to rivers, canyons, and valleys. But if I'm just plain walking through the desert, the most important thing is starting early. If I plan on wandering through the desert anytime from April to September, I start at 4:30 in the morning. The sun usually rises around 5 or 5:30, but the heat doesn't get too bad until 10 or so most of the time. Obviously, I always bring plenty of water. Plenty of ice, too. I usually bring a sports drink as well. A less common tip is to bring ice packs. The kind you shake to activate. Sticking one under your shirt will cool you down real fast. Putting a wet towel on your head helps, too. Another thing, get a straw hat. That wide brim will keep the sun off og you. Stay in the shade as much as possible, and rest often. Don't get carried away with your adventure. Try to stay within a few miles of some kind of civilization, even if it's a gas station or something. The heat comes on pretty quick, and you don't want to end up miles and miles away from some AC. Lastly, stay out of the mountains (if you're in the south valley, that is. Doesn't apply for the snowy places way up north.) Putting yourself on a mountain directly under a blazing sun is a surefire way to die of heatstroke. Even in the cooler months, the heat on a mountain can be brutal. Safe travels, friend. Hope this is helpful.

This. Mountains in at 31N in southern Arizona average up to 180 inches of winter snowfall on north facing slopes above 9,000 ft elevation. While in central AZ along the Rim places can average 90 inches of winter snowfall at 5,800 ft elevation due to moisture uplift, other places on the Rim at the same elevation or higher elevation can average as low as 20 inches, while mountainous terrain on the Rim can average as much as 250 inches. The difference can be so extreme that even just walking 3 miles away you enter a new climate regime, in winter snowfalls a good example is Show Low city (20-30 inches snowfall) and on Porter mountain 4 miles from the city limits the average is 80-100 inches. On sky islands and other places in central AZ with huge vertical relief, 3-5 miles distance is enough to go from a climate that almost never ets snow to one that average 60-180 inches long term. There is a very very small difference with latitude but it is barely discernible unless you're talking 10s of degrees of latitude difference and even then it can be completely negated by topography. Topography is the single biggest driver of local climate alongside predominant jet stream patterns.

there is literally snow on the mountains behind her.
Even in the middle of the Las Vegas summer you can go up to Mt. Charleston and hike around, it’s 13k feet so take the Vegas city temp and subtract 35°F, bring cold weather clothes / bag if you plan to camp at night.

Yes I live at the foothills of the desert. My advice is to NOT go into the desert between late May and early October. You aren't acclimated to the desert and every single year people die a preventable death. It isn't worth risking your life just to prove a point. You can come to the desert the other 7.5 months of the year. I will go into the backcountry of the desert for a single night, but I arrive 2 hours before sunset and leave early in the morning. The desert at night is a magical place in the summer, but don't even think about doing it unless somebody with decades of experience takes you there for a night trip. You must be able to survive in case your car breakdowns. I have enough water to last days and I also have the GPS transponder to signal for SOS help. I also do not go offroad far in the summer. I leave my offroad trips for the cooler months.

If you're going to take any piece of advice I've written, the one to take is just don't go into the desert in the summer unless you want to be a statistic

Have a good 4x4 and carry quadruple or more of the water you think you need.

Don’t backpack in the desert in summer unless you are 100% sure of your water sources, and have previous experience in shoulder seasons. You still might die from heatstroke. Actually just don’t backpack in the desert in summer.
