Pinyon Pine Pinus edulis (Pinyon Pine),  Juniperus osteosperma (Utah Juniper), and Juniperus monosperma (One-seed Juniper), dominate hundreds of thousands of acres of the Colorado Plateau. The Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau has extensive stands of these trees in the 4,000-8,000 foot vegetation zone.
