Above the Rim Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah A lone Douglas fir grows on the southern rim of Bryce Canyon. The Douglas Fir is a widespread conifer, adapting well to its immediate environment. This one, for instance, is self-pruned to contain its size and growth needs in this arid, high-altitude location. For the insects and small mammals that live in this harsh alpine environment, this fir’s seeds make a preferred meal. |
