Noble and charismatic, Ponderosas welcome visitors with a butterscotch aroma.

  • Fire-resistant species whose very thick, plately orange bark protects it at maturity
  • Its bark grows thicker and more furrowed as it ages
  • Can live to be 400 to 600 years old
  • Has a symbiotic relationship with Abert squirrels: squirrels dig up truffles and spread spores; ponderosa need the fungus spores to make nitrogen and other important nutrients that are unavailable to the roots alone
  • Its bark has an amazing vanilla/butterscotch aroma that permeates the air on warm days

  • Get here easily from the Welcome House and parking – yet feel deep in the quiet of the forest
  • Enjoy a rare treat of fern thickets in arid Arizona, along with aspens, firs and pines
  • Spot wildlife among the aspen groves, and look up to see bluebirds, flickers and chickadees

The most conveniently located section of the forest, Homestead Grove is a short, easy walk from the Welcome House and parking area.

Soft thickets of bracken fern carpet the forest floor. The lush understory in this area of the forest is a rare find in Arizona, as it only grows at higher elevations where summers are cool and moist.

This section has a true “heart of the forest” feel, where quiet surroundings amplify the sounds of nature. Homestead Grove feels deep in the woods yet is still easily accessible.
