Question: Arizona is home to the largest ponderosa pine forest in the world. What city sits at the edge of this forest?

Answer: Flagstaff

The ecosystems that surround Flagstaff span from piñon-juniper woodland to alpine tundra, but it is the Ponderosa pine forest in-between that dominates the area. This towering tree only grows at elevations between 6,000 and 8,000 feet, making Flagstaff’s 7,000-foot elevation the perfect home.
