Junipers grow very slowly. A juniper standing only five feet tall may be 50 years old. Junipers typically live from 350 to 700 years, with some even passing the millennium mark. Despite their longevity, junipers rarely exceed 30 feet in height or three feet in diameter.
I would really like to know how old this juniper is?

Then we descended through the forests of the upper part of Juniper Canyon - not only junipers but maples and oaks, among other things.
After that, the landscape opened up into the grasslands you see here.
Because of our high-elevation explorations, this was our Day 2 of the Outer Mountain Loop. The standard itinerary has you camping near here on Day 1.

This was my Summer Take !
