Being a light-seeker this mistletoe is most often found high in the tree. It is long-lived and has been known to live more than 220 years. Longitudinal rows of small holes in the wood are caused by wood- peckers or by the roots of the Phora- dendron. WESTERN JUNIPER Junipenis occidentalis HOOK. The dominant notes of the burly, scant-foliaged juniper are its sturdiness, dignity and repose. The thick-set, stocky trunks covered by the bright, cin- namon-red bark appear immobile as stone. "They are... never, " says John Muir, "blown down so long as they con- tinue in health. Their stiff, crooked roots grip the storm-beaten ledges like eagle claws, while their lithe, cord-like branches bend round compliantly, offer- ing but slight holds for winds, however violent. " The Western Juniper thrives best at high elevations and is found in an al- most pure forest of considerable extent to the north of Bear Lake and into Hoi- comb Valley. It is common around the lake itself, also on Gold Mountain and Sugar Loaf Peak.
