In the southwest, the sub-alpine firs(Abies lasiocarpa var arizonica) are a little different in that they have more furrowed bark.

This cone is protected by about 2 feet of snow - located around 4100ft above sea level on Mount Mansfield. I shot from underneath to get a clear view of it - one of my Flickr friends loves cones : ). Cheers, Paul

A young Sub-Alpine Fir(Abies lasiocarpa). If Englemann Spruce is the Queen of the sub-alpine forests of the Rockies, than Sub-Alpine Fir is the Princess. Smaller than Spruce, they more than make up for that with there wonderfully fragrant foliage, the strongest smelling conifer I know of. Notice the upright purple cones, characteristic of all true Firs(Abies)

2011-12-25 Upper Austria, district Rohrbach - Ameisberg region (740 msm Quadrant 7448/2).Fir usually will grow straight up like a needle if undisturbed; this one here though grew at angles - due to a twin (which also, most certainly, arced to the sky rather than growing straight); this here is the stump of the twin which must have been cut several years ago, by the weathered look of it.
