The Alligator juniper, a member of the Cypress Family, can be found in central Arizona at elevations between 4500-8000 feet. It often grows in the Ponderosa Pine zone. These trees can often reach the 100+ years old mark.

	Hasn't voted	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!!!
