  • The ancient Bristlecone Pine forest is about 11,000 ft. up into the White Mountains in Eastern California. These trees are among the longest-lived life forms on Earth, some documented older than 4,800 years old. A long drive up a winding mountain road then a tough hike on the mountain side at that elevation to see these wonders who thrive in a harsh environment with poor soil conditions.
