The ancient boughs of a Utah Juniper twist skyward like wisps of smoke frozen in the wind. Silent sentinels to passing centuries, junipers can live more than 2000 years. This juniper has made its home in a folded landscape known as Behind The Rocks. The diminutive maze of Navajo and Wingate formations lies between Arches and Canyonlands National Parks. Though it rivals its famous neighbors in scenery, none of the area is protected for future generations.
