Labor Day weekend is synonymous with pool parties, summer cocktails and barbecues, but it is also an opportunity to explore one last Summer In Az adventure.

 

If you are looking for fun close to home this Labor Day, the Phoenix metro area has great ways to beat the summer heat. Visit one of the area’s three water parks where you can brave the Black Hole at Big Surf, race down Wet ‘n Wild’s Maximum Velocity, or experience the five-story thrill of Golfland Sunsplash’s Sidewinder.

 

For those looking for a cooler adventure, all you have to do is head north. Many Arizona residents have visited the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, but have you ever traveled further north? The North Rim offers completely different views and trailheads and with winter weather limiting camp options and causing road closures, Labor Day is the perfect opportunity to see the Grand Canyon in a new light.

 

Arizona Snowbowl is another destination offering cooler weather fun. View the beautiful forest terrain from the ski resort’s ski lift during a 25-minute scenic ride that takes you to a an outlook from the tallest peak in Arizona. Labor Day is the last day that the scenic lift is open to the public before it closes for the winter ski season, so enjoy the long weekend with one of the best views of Arizona while you still can.

 

Labor Day is also one of the final opportunities of the year to take advantage of summer staycation deals at Arizona resorts. Whether you want to enjoy the historic architecture of the Arizona Biltmore, a relaxing retreat at Westin La Paloma Resort’s family friendly pool or experience the red rock views at Hilton Sedona Resort and Spa, there is sure to be a package deal to suit you and your family’s needs.
