Most people claim that if you have ever been to Phoenix one of the things that you will never forget, that is one among many, is the amazing sunsets that the Valley enjoys. There is something about the panoramic views and the desert itself that creates such a dynamic and colorful sky both at twilight and sunrise that they are matched almost nowhere else in the world. City laws were even established that restrict the height of buildings so that they will not interfere with the natural views. The sunsets account for one of the reasons why so many people love Phoenix, and also for the reason there are no sky scrappers in that part of the Sonoran Desert .

Many of the luxury hotels Phoenix will have excellent views of the desert-scape and this will include the amazing spectacle that hits the desert twice daily. There are various scientific oriented opinions regarding the reasons for the beauty in the sunsets and one of them relates to the amount of dust in the air. This is a rather unattractive theory, though the desert does have a lot of dust. One thing is certain though, and that is that during the summer monsoon season , the sky comes alive like what is rarely seen during any other season and it is so vibrant and dynamic it seems to be one of the live environmental factors. Experience them yourself, visit Phoenix in August, but bring sun screen.
