The Sentinel, Toiyabe National Forest, Nevada

The Sentinel - standing watch in sage and yucca in the Toiyabe National Forest (part of the Desert View Natural Recreation Area), Nevada. This Joshua Tree has stood for a long time. Although it's hard to date them because they have no annual growth rings, this one may be 250-400 years old. It has the look of experience in a harsh environment and seems to know the ways of the desert.
