Jardine Juniper Tree

On June 6 2009 my older brother (Jeff) and I went hiking. We went up to the Jardine Juniper Tree. We both decided that since neither of us have seen it that it was time. (Growing up in Cache Valley and all!)

Now for the boring stuff! The Jardine Juniper tree is thought to be about 3200 years old. (According to a sign right next to the tree -- however, I have also heard that it is 1500 years old) It is one of the most beautiful hikes I have ever been on. Not only was the scenery amazing but the smells and sounds were astonishing. This is the perfect time of year to go on this hike, I couldn't believe how much water there was! I would definitely recommend it for anyone! It's about 10 miles round trip but it's not very strenuous.

The views are incredible!

You can see at the top of the tree where it is still alive.

My handsome brother Jeff!

Don't worry...Monty's just sitting on a rock, it's not a cliff! BTW he loves the mountains just as much as I do!

This is me, proud I finished the hike! SUPERWOMAN! (heh.)
Looky there, another reptile friend...at least it wasn't a snake, I don't think I could have handled another run in with another snake!

Now I just want to share some photos I took of some of the glorious wildflowers I saw on the hike. ENJOY!

Yes! I was finally able to put my new camera to the true test...and if you ask me it definitely passed! I think the pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for!

I just want Jeff to know what a good time I had with him. We don't get to do things together very often, so I truly cherish the time we do get to hang. I know we have had our differences in the past, but I feel that this experience has brought us closer and I love being your little sis! I love you Jeffy!
