Re: Where is this exactly?

Ha, ha! This is exactly 25 miles east
of Payson, along the Tonto Fish Hatchery
Road in the Tonto National Forest.
The trail that goes along atop the southern
edge of the Tonto Rim is called the General
Crook Trail. He was involved in the Apache
Wars of 1870, so I'm assuming this tree was
a toddler at that time. Thank you!
I knew there was a "Juniper album" floating
around in Cyberspace. Hope a reindeer doesn't
trip over that. Regards to your photos!!!
