It's fall foliage time in Arizona. A favorite place to go is
the Arizona high country. Fall foliage peaks between late September all the way
through December. Here are some places
where you can hike and sightsee in the Arizona autumn wonderland. Be sure and
bring your camera!
Boyce Thompson Arboretum
Located east of Phoenix off highway 60, Boyce Thompson Arboretum is known for their Fall Foliage Finale on Thanksgiving weekend. Aspen and maple leaves have fallen in the San Francisco peaks and Catalinas by mid-November, but the true grand finale of autumn foliage in Arizona is at the Arboretum in November, with peak color typically during Thanksgiving weekend.
