Rumored to be either the oldest or second oldest Douglas fir on the Front Range, possibly the state. Karol is 5' 3" tall; this old grandfather is fully four+ feet in diameter and multi-hundreds of years old.

I'm taking down, to my chagrin, a 50 foot, 5 foot circumference Shamel Ash which was planted five feet from the house wall and concrete slab.
I feel bad since it was a volunteer which I transplanted when it was about one foot tall,
Mistake?

I've done some huge solo hikes in and across the Brooks Range to the Beaufort Sea.
You begin in boreal forest. It is mainly black spruce, but it is pretty thick, even north of the Arctic Circle.
As you continue north, the trees start to dwindle, and become more spread out.
Finally you will arrive at the last tree. Every last tree that I've run into was a stunted black spruce no taller than me. Those trees are hundreds of years old, but they don't grow much. The permafrost is getting shallower, and the growing season is getting shorter.
Here is the last tree in the E Fork of the Chandalar River, in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge:

this section of route 66 was bypassed and left for feral,so this juniper got busy ... for an enterprising while. alas, i suspect vigilante maintenance.
what dreams lurk within the husks of the class of '16?
some are bound to hold the line

Not long now
]when I 1st used the snag in these pictures it was green and supple,
Only leaning it was a multi-directional top rope anchor,
I don't want to say how long the other drunks like me have used the arching trunk to swing over,
sit and down a six up there then swing back across the gap across on this tree's arching top the part now in the dirt when I pulled the end it came down, I got some dust in my eyes, that brought tears. . .

And boundary tree RIP, I took no eveidtury snaps of the sectioned tree trunk
