Enjoy 4.7 miles of trails throughout the Arboretum, in gardens representing 11 different regions of the world. BTA’s trails provide many opportunities to stop and take beautiful landscape, fauna and flora photos.
Download the MapThe High Trail has an all new bridge crossing at the west end, where it meets the Wallace Desert Garden Trail at Queen Creek. The High Trail is a favorite of visitors who enjoy a more strenuous hike. This trail is steeper and more difficult than our other garden paths, and hikers may encounter more snakes and other critters. PLAN AHEAD. Bring water, wear proper shoes, and watch your step!

Boyce Thompson Arboretum is a cherished place for so many, each with their own connection to its beauty and purpose. As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all we’ve accomplished together. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we are thrilled to share that we are 80% of the way to our calendar year-end goal!
We are deeply grateful for the incredible support that makes our work possible. If you haven’t made your year-end, tax-deductible gift yet, there’s still time to help us continue to preserve, inspire, and grow.

Rainy days are some of the most beautiful Boyce Thompson Arboretum.
The last couple days brought some additional rain to our desert oasis. Winter rains are vital to the desert, replenishing water supplies and providing necessary resources for plants and wildlife.
