Has anyone seen any LARGE junipers here in Arizona?

Just wondering what's the biggest juniper CWT members have found over the years here in Arizona? Pics of said beasts would be cool to see ...

There are some huge alligator junipers in 23. I used to hang my Coues from them.....One of them has my favorite Schrade knife nearby.....From 1986!!!

How's this one??? This is the largest one in the USA. It's in Prescott National Forest and was also the one that was saved by some of the firefighters that lost there lives in the Yarnell fire.

There's definitely some big ones around here. The wallow fire got some real big ones right on the NM line. Thank goodness the gila NF manages it and allows you to cut dead standing. I've been into some monsters over there for sure!

I don't remember where I picked up this pic. Supposed to be from Reavis Ranch Trail in Superstitions ...

Unit 7W has a few monsters on the south slope of Sitgreaves Mtn. Not as big as the photos here though.

I know of one in 22 that is the biggest I've ever seen. Not sure it's as big as these here but will measure and take a picture next time I scout.

That one at Reavis Ranch is pretty cool. I remember seeing pics of it in advance, and thinking ok, this will be cool. Then we encountered a big Juniper, and thought that was it. Then another, and thought that was it. Then finally encountered that one, the Big One!!! And I remember thinking wow, pics sure didn't do this tree justice...nothing like being there and experiencing how Big that tree truly is

Here's why I brought up the topic. I bumped into this one this week up on the Rim --- crazy that something like this still exists in today's world! I've seen some pretty broad alligator junipers, but I've n-e-v-e-r seen one this tall!

Wow huge. I need to take a pic of a few monster I know in 6a. Cedar flats has some large ones but never seen on that tall.
