Yes, same here. We have two places, one at just over 4,000 ft and another at 6,000 ft.
Summers are not bad at all for the AZ desert. :)
You bet. High desert is WAY better. And when we do get rare snow in winter, it’s gone in a day or two.
I’ve been in hot humid venues...Never again. Been in frigid long winter heavy snow venues...Ditto, never again.
