Arizona is in the Mountain time zone. So at the time I am writing this memo at 1:52 PM EDT, you would think that Arizona would be 11:52 AM MDT. But it is really 10:52 AM MST except in the Navaho Nation where it is 11:52 AM MDT. The Navaho Nation changed to MST this year whereas the rest of Arizona does not observe MST and stays on MDT all year long making it seem like it is on PDT in the summer.
Now , doesn't that clear things up? Hmmm! Did I get that right??  |
Almost. Arizona stays on MST all year long, not observing MDT. So in the summer Arizona's MST is the same as PDT.
I change planes two to four times a month in PHX, 12 months a year. It can be a little confusing.
Since the Navajo Reservation lies in Utah and New Mexico as well as Arizona the Navajos probably wanted to keep all their land in one time zone all year round. Makes sense to me.
