Description
An intriguing juniper tree trunk stands along the Kayenta Canyon Trail in Zion National Park. I love the intense "shredding" of the bark and the beautiful texture of this majestic tree. The fact that this beautiful tree is thriving by living in a mixture of boulders and sandstone, and is clinging to the edge of a 200 foot drop-off along the canyon trail just amazes me.

Thank you so much. These types of trees with this bark just fascinate me. I hope it is still standing. Shortly after I took this hike several sections of this trail were destroyed by a huge flash flood. The trail is still closed and under repair. I hope it's ok -- it was so beautiful. Thanks again!! :)

Thank you so much, Janet! I love hiking that trail -- there is so much beauty there. Living on the edge is right! It looked to be literally hanging by a thread. Thank you so so so much!! 💖

I am very fond of trees and I love to photograph them. There are about 6 species of Juniper in Arizona. The Utah Juniper, which is prevalent at the South rim of the Grand Canyon, I have photographed a lot. This tree has certainly amazing bark and branches with all that shedding going on. Giving it a hairy orangutan look. They give meaning to the expression, living on the edge. Zion National Park, so much diversity to photograph. Well done Jane! LVFV Janet 💕
