The Arboretum at Flagstaff
- The Arboretum at Flagstaff
The Arboretum at Flagstaff is a 200 acre (80 hectare) arboretum that is home to 2,500 species of drought-tolerant native plants representative of the high-desert Colorado Plateau, home to the Grand Canyon and Zion National Park. It is located 3.8 miles (6 km) south of U.S. Route 66 on Woody Mountain Road, on the west side of Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
The Arboretum was originally forest and a working ranch, and the home of Frances McAllister in the late 1960’s. In 1981, she began her long-held dream of creating an arboretum when she donated the land and created its endowment.
The Arboretum was visited by over 22,000 people in 2007, and in addition to tours of the complex, offers live birds of prey programs from April through October.
