> Most of Arizona observes Mountain Standard Time (MST) all year. However, because the Navajo Nation observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), the corresponding DST designation, Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) is also listed here.
> There is a common misconception that Arizona is on Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) during the summer and on Mountain Standard Time (MST) during the winter. Because MST and PDT have the same UTC offset of minus 7 hours (UTC-7), Arizona has the same local time as neighboring states California and Nevada during the summer season.
- 8note 6y agoI don't see why the state should be able to force a timezone on the Navajo Nation. They're more of a state than Arizona is

Citation please; where is it written that any state is trying to force a timezone on the Navajo Nation? > They're more of a state than Arizona is Navajo Nation is not a state. At all. It is a nation. The territory of that nation is contained within the geographic footprint of three contiguous states (Arizona, Utah and Mexico).
- seniorsassycat 6y agoThe Navajo Nation, except the Hopi Reservation, doesn't follow Arizona they do follow DST. I don't know if the Navajo Nation is subject to the federal law that requires observing DST or standard time.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI highly doubt if they are. States aren't why would a nation?
- prepend 6y agoWhat’s really fun is that the Hopi Nation, totally enclosed by the Navajo Nation, is the same as Arizona and doesn’t observe DST.
