Last tip for identifying a Ponderosa is to notice that older trees typically are bare of needles on the lower half. Don’t forget to smell one of these unique trees to catch a whiff of vanilla/butterscotch as your looping around on the trails.

Part 2 for identifying a Ponderosa on race day. The bark is another distinct feature on the Ponderosa trees. Color: The bark shifts from dark brown/black in younger trees (often called “bull pines”) to bright orange, russet, or yellowish-brown in maturity. Texture & Pattern: Deep, dark furrows separate wide, flat plates of bark, creating a pattern that resembles jigsaw puzzle pieces. Thickness: The plates grow incredibly thick (4 to 6 inches), which acts as a natural shield against forest fires. Scent (my favorite part): Warming temperatures cause the bark to release a natural aroma frequently compared to vanilla or butterscotch. So when you’re on the trails take time to have a smell as the temperatures climb in the afternoon.

Part 1 on how to identify a ponderosa pine on the race course. First look at the needles they should be long and skinny. They usually are in groups of 3 but sometimes two. They tend to be more thick on the ends of the branches.
