Ramdez,
Here is a link that might help http://phoenix.about.com/od/weather/a/averagetemps.htm
My brother and I went last May from Tombstone all the way up to the Grand Canyon. We ended up running into snow in the elevations. Not sure if this is the norm there but it didn't keep us from moving on. Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy your trip. If the roads allow you to see Jerome and Sedona, I highly recomend them.

Hello Ramdex,
Riding in the Tucson/Phoenix area you will encounter excellent weather and temperatures in March and April (anywhere from the mid 70's (F) to the mid 80's (F), however, you've got to remember that going from Tucson or Phoenix you'll be going from an elevation of around 2,000 feet to approx 8,000 feet in Flagstaff, quite a difference in temperature that time of year, i.e. if it's in the 70's (F) in Tucson, expect the 50's (F) or less in Flagstaff.
Don't get me wrong, Flagstaff could also have good riding weather, but it can also get down right nasty in March - "youse pays your dollar, and youse takes your chance" as they say!!
I hope the weather is favorable for your visit, have a great ride and enjoy our State.
Here's a good Flagstaff web site:

Flagstaff can be COLD at that time of year. You could have highs in the 40's and lows in the 20's or 30's at night.
Down south not a problem, nice in the day but fairly cold at nite so you'll have to dress warm as night and day varies by 30 degrees or so.

I have been through flagstaff around that time in March every year for the last few years. (We take 4 RV's out to the Nascar race in Vegas) A couple times we have hit snow storms that made RV travel very hazardous. Just keep in mind there may be snow. Keep an eye on the weather.
