Trivia – The timezone game Arizona style

During our travel in Arizona we came across a funny game which is only funny in case you don't need to know which time it is.
Arizona is located in Mountain Time Zone, which is European Central Time minus 8 hours. So far so good. This means that Arizona is in the same timezone as Utah which is just north of it. It also means that Arizona is one hour ahead of Pacific Standard Time which is valid in Nevada (Las Vegas) and California. As you know we currently have the daylight saving in place. What you might not know is that Arizona does not have the daylight saving time which means that it is in the same timezone as California and has one hour difference to Utah at this time of the year.
In order to make it a little more complicated we found out that the Navajo Indian reservations do have the Daylight Saving times although these are located in Arizona while the rest of Arizona does not have Daylight Saving. Can you still follow?
We were a little confused as we were changing between Arizona, Utah, Nevada, California and the Navajo reservations. It is not at all easy to know which time is valid at which place.
