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 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!

A small peak of wildflower season🌼at Boyce Thompson Arboretum
While we may not have the fields of poppies that other places in Arizona do, you can come get a peak at these beautiful blooms before they start to take off across the state. Stop by the entrance of our Wallace Desert Garden to take in the gorgeous spring blooms.
California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) are annuals native to the Western and Southwestern United States. The plant is edible, with the leaves and petals being used for garnish, syrups, and teas.
