The Arboretum at Flagstaff is a 200-acre arboretum located on South Woody Mountain Road. It is home to 2,500 species of plants, most of which are native and drought-tolerant. The plants are representative of those typically found on the high-desert terrain of the Colorado Plateau where the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park are located.

Sitting at 7,150 feet in elevation, the arboretum is one of the nation’s highest public gardens. Originally a forest and ranch, the land was donated by Frances McAllister in the late 1960s. The arboretum hosts special events like Ritmo Latino in Concert, Shakespeare under the Pines, and Wine in the Woods.
