#ponderosapine (Pinus ponderosa), also known as yellow pine, is a long-lived, large tree native to western North America. It's named for its heavy

“Ponderosa Pines, Mono Basin” — A group of ponderosa pines on slopes leading toward Mono Lake in distant haze.

Mono Lake is a remarkable place. Lying in a relatively high, desert basin, it covers a huge area. It is so big that it is just about impossible to get a solid impression of its vast size. While you can drive past its west side and access a few spots along the north and south shores, much of it is essentially inaccessible, at least without a lot of very difficult travel.

The close-up bark of a ponderosa pine. One of my lifetime favorite trees. It grows all over the Rocky Mountains, and this one is in Colorado. Adapted to wildfire, with thick scaly bark that can slough off layers in the heat and still protect the tree.
