Paradise Found. Venerable spruce tree still growing in Paradise Park with
a 14 foot circumference. It was found at 11,000 feet on a steep east facing slope
just below a cliff. Let us toast to the beauty and fecundity of Mother Earth!
Isn't it amazing that such a wonder could grow thousands of miles from any ocean or sea
and in such a high and cold place. This is above where any streams were visible.
The two-legger is Scott Ready, trail guide extraordinaire and photographer.
