Fall Foliage Finale at Boyce Thompson Arboretum
$110
You can always predict how the fall foliage will move around the state of Arizona, with the final and most dramatic blast of color to be enjoyed at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Home to a grove of 40-foot Chinese pistachio trees—famously ablaze in shades of red and burgundy by late November—the sight of this stand of trees alone is worth a fall pilgrimage. Founded in 1924 as a desert plant research facility and living museum, Boyce Thompson Arboretum is the oldest botanical garden west of the Mississippi. An easy main trail runs through the park, leading visitors to various exhibits and natural areas. Before visiting the Arboretum, we’ll enjoy lunch on self in historic Superior, Arizona, where we’ll have a few different restaurants to choose from and there is sure to be something for everyone.
