When to go

The best time to visit Avi Kwa Ame National Monument is during the cooler months from October to April, when the desert heat subsides, offering a more comfortable exploration experience. Summer months can be extremely hot, making outdoor activities challenging, so plan accordingly if visiting between May and September.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast before your visit, as desert conditions can change rapidly.
  • Ensure you have plenty of water and sun protection, as shade is limited in the open desert landscape.
  • Respect the sacred sites and cultural significance of the area by staying on designated trails and following guidelines.
  • Wildlife is abundant; observe from a distance and do not disturb the natural habitat of the desert tortoise and other species.
  • Be aware of the monument's boundaries and regulations, especially if you plan to engage in hunting or OHV use.
