Isn't Colorado City about the northernmost place in Colorado where you can see pinion pines?

Especially just north of there and up to Cedarwood exit!
I drive along there every day and I've been around the area since 77' on and off. It just seems so normal to me. I wish I had money to get some property from those Hatchet Ranch subdivisions.
Thanks, and thanks for checkin the photos out.

On the eastern slope, maybe--though there are some isolated pockets north of there. In western Colorado, piñons go clear to the Wyoming border--actually into southwestern Wyoming.
Don't get me started on how delicious piñon nuts are--I love 'em. But there isn't any more miserable job than trying to harvest the darned things. I knew some guys that used a pretty straightforward procedure--lay a sheet on the ground around the piñon tree, and then back into the trunk of the tree a few times with a pickup--just hard enough to knock all the cones loose, not hard enough to damage the tree. Got plenty of pitch on the truck, though. |
