>>1594719In most of AZ altitude equals forest cover, and a cooler/wetter climate.There are 11 million acres of national forest (not all of it is actually conifer forest and not all of the conifer forests in AZ are a part of a NF) and tens of thousands of sq miles of land higher than 2000m (6,600ft) in AZ. Mixed/coniferous forests usually start at around 1800m (6,000ft) in most of the state. And a good chunk of AZ is relatively high elevation. The same thing is going on in surrounding states to, but AZ (Mogollon, Kaibab, and Coconino Plateaus) and CO (Grand Mesa) have some of the highest and largest forested plateaus in North America. AZ also has the distinction of having the 1st and 3rd largest volcanic fields by area in the continental US (over 3,000 sq miles combined), both accompanied by the 1st and 2nd highest mountain ranges in AZ respectively.
tl:dr Yes, in the mountains.
