slgwv's photos with the keyword: junipers

A couple of enormous junipers flanking a ragged ATV track above the Alpine Mine, near Crater Lake in California's Sierra Nevada. These are more specimens well out of their usual range--the elevation here is just under 8800 feet (~2680 m). The inset shows a close-up of the right-hand tree. Looking northeast.

The upper photo is from the Gus Bundy collection (#08-167) at the University of Nevada, Reno and was probably taken in the mid-1930s. The lower photo is by me, 14 July 2011. Looking upstream (north), about a quarter of a mile below the old Jumbo townsite, which is right around the corner. Not too many changes here! Even the road, which elsewhere is now very washed out, doesn't look very different. It does appear that I've captured the same three juniper trees (outlined) as Bundy did, straight ahead across the drainage. They've gotten lots bigger in the last 75-odd years!
