Why Arizona gives a vehicle a whole year and asks it to survive the summer

Arizona runs from 70 feet on the Colorado River at Yuma to 12,633 feet on Humphreys Peak, with an approximate mean elevation of 4,100 feet in between. That spread is the whole story for a driver. While snow closes the roads above 4,000 feet on the Arizona Strip from December through March, the desert roads out of Yuma and Ajo are at their best. Six months later it is the other way round.
