Dry desert sunshine, hot and cold springs drew indigenous settlers and beckon visitors, residents today. Desert flora, fauna, surrounding mountain trails, stunning vistas are especially enjoyable during early mornings, evenings and spring, fall and winter days when heat has abated. There are many quality cultural venues, sports activities year-round, but summer is considered the "low season" due to daytime high temperatures.
