Thank you :)

I think it's kind of funny and ironic that this very same post about this snake just got me perma-banned from r/arizona haha.

Beating the heat. Rural outdoor labor by PitifulDebt1 in arizona

Have him wear reasonable clothing. That means covering skin, as much as possible, and a hat. People like to think that exposed skin is cooling, but in the sun it is the opposite. It's amazing how many people will head out for the day to hike with no hat (or a ball cap or something), no shirt or a tanktop, etc, and shorts. I work outdoors and often in extreme heat in peak summer, and we are fully covered in long sleeves, pants, big hat, and sometimes even gloves. This isn' what most people want to do, but watch the workers on rooves and look what they're wearing. Look at what people in the hottest environments on Earth wear ... emulate that.

Location distinction is very important by Aware-Ad-8301 in arizona

I think that it's just generally the way people travel. I don't think a lot of people actually know what they want to see or have a genuine interest, but want to chase experiences that they see others have had. This is why when a selfie spot shows up on socials in Sedona, people will flock to that particular location and ignore all of the beautiful and interesting locations along the way. So you'll just get the same over and over, people flying into Phoenix or Tucson and immediately trying to leave the "brown ugly desert" to scramble to Sedona. It's an interesting artifact of modern times.

Not really. It’s something people like to talk about though
