The desert city of Phoenix offers visitors near-perfect weather in March and fun things to do. You can expect moderate temperatures and hardly any rain – the ideal weather for sightseeing and outdoor activities. March brings on a wonderful display of color in the Sonora Desert as cacti and succulents burst into bloom – see it all by pulling on your hiking boots and exploring the scenic landscape.

You can pay a few rounds of golf, soak up some sun by the pool, rent a mountain bike to explore the trails, or go horseback riding. This is also a good time of year to take a day-trip to the Grand Canyon as there are fewer crowds. Music lovers are in for a real treat in March, with no less than three music festivals happening in the area.
