Each year we run a tour based out of Tucson, AZ during monsoon season for lightning/landscape photography. 2026 monsoon season was exceptionally good as we had intense monsoon storms almost daily! We typically stay in the southern half of Arizona and western New Mexico as there are many terrain features that can help generate these storms. These images were taken between July 31st and August 8th. If you are a lightning, structure, landscape, cactus fan, there is no place better than southern Arizona during monsoon season!!
