Jeffrey Pine Snags - USE CODE "CNLS24" FOR ORDERING
|
The Western Yellow
Pine, or the Jeffrey Pine, Pinus
jeffreyi, grows on dry mountain slopes of the Sierra
Nevada Mountains. The snags are often long standing, and true to
their name, the wood of these trees are richly colored. These snags
were located in the Golden
Trout Wilderness, by Chicken Springs Lake, south of Mount Whitney.
This picture was taken in early July, 1996, while I was on my first
backpacking trip in the area. |
