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.

Thompson’s Trail is easy and most of it is wheelchair accessible. Many smaller loops off the main trail are also easy hiking, though not wide enough to accommodate some wheelchairs. Learn more about Thompson’s Trail and read user reviews at AllTrails.com

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!

Two April celebrations, one shared legacy.

Founder’s Day on April 1st reminds us of the bold vision of Colonel Boyce Thompson that planted the first seeds of what is now Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Arbor Day on April 24th reminds us why that vision still matters. Honor both by making a gift that protects our tree collections, supports education, and ensures that the Arboretum continues to thrive for generations to come.

Support a continued legacy. Donate at the link in bio.
