The Lone Tree at White Pocket, Arizona, is an iconic, resilient Ponderosa pine tree growing out of a crack in start, white “brain rock” sandstone within the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument. Rooted in solid rock, it serves as a popular, poignant photography subject symbolizing life and endurance in an otherwise inhospitable, otherworldly desert landscape.
