Wood Camp Campground to Jardine Juniper Overlook, Cache County, UT, USA
Juniper Jardine Trailhead (10.3 miles, L.S.) Take the middle fork dirt road that goes 100 yards past Wood Camp and leads to an unmarked trailhead with a horse loading area. A rugged 1.5-mile-long hike starts here that zigzags up 2,000 vertical feet to the great, 3,200-year-old "Juniper Jardine" - believed to be the oldest and largest of its kind. It was discovered in 1923. It is named for William T. Jardine, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (1925-29) and a Utah State graduate. It's more than 44 feet high and almost 27 feet wide. (The trail to the tree can be difficult to follow and confusing side trails lead to Tony Grove, not the tree!)
