The majority of Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings Time and so they would remain on Mountain Standard Time year around. However, there are some areas of Northeastern Arizona that do change to Daylight Savings Time and that would make them one hour ahead of the rest of Arizona for that summer season until they change back in the fall and they are then together with the rest of the state again, back on Mountain Standard Time.
Mountain Standard Time, year-round. Most of Arizona doesn't observe daylight savings.
1215 Pacific Daylight Saving Time (PDT; UTC-7) = 1215 Mountain Standard Time (MST; UTC-7) 1215 Pacific Standard Time (PST; UTC-8) = 1315 MST
10 AM Mountain Daylight Saving Time = 8 AM Pacific Standard Time = 9 AM Pacific Daylight Saving Time 10 AM Mountain Standard Time = 9 AM Pacific Standard Time = 10 AM Pacific Daylight Saving Time
Arizona is never on Pacific time. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone, and (except the Navajo Nation in the northeast corner of the state) does not observe Daylight Saving Time, and therefore does not "spring forward" in April nor "fall back" in October. This results in some confusion, as all U.S. states in the Pacific and Mountain time zones exceptArizona observe Daylight Saving Time, and therefore adjust their clocks one hour ahead during the summer months. Due to the relative population of California, some people find it easier to comprehend the variation by suggesting that Arizona is "on Pacific (or California) time" during the period of Daylight Saving Time, but this is technically inaccurate. While in July it may be the same time in Phoenix as it is in Los Angeles, Arizona remains in the Mountain time zone, observing Mountain Standard Time year-round.

Mountain Standard Time (UTC-7) is one hour later than Pacific Standard Time (UTC-8). Mountain Daylight Saving Time (UTC-6) is 1 hr. ahead of Pacific Daylight Saving Time (UTC-7). Mountain Standard Time and Pacific Daylight Saving Time are the same (UTC-7).
Pacific
All of Arizona is on Standard Mountain Time. Arizona does not change the clocks like most of the nation does twice a year. Arizona is one hour ahead of Pacific Standard Time. When the west coast goes on daylight savings time their clocks are the same as the ones in Arizona.
Arizona is kind of an Odd Duck in that it doesn't officially recognize daylight savings time. It's officially in the Mountain time zone while LA is in the Pacific time zone, but for about half the year clocks read the same in Arizona as they do in LA even though in Arizona it's called MST (Mountain Standard Time) and in LA it's called PDT (Pacific Daylight Time).
No, it is on Pacific Standard Time.
Pacific time zone is the farthest West.

Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern. The four time zones are from West to East, and as you go East into another time zone, clocks move one hour ahead. Example: If it was 6:00 AM in San Fransisco (Pacific Time), it would be 9:00 AM in NYC (Eastern Time).
