Bristlecone Pine Trail

This is a view from the Bristlecone Pine Trail in Great Basin National Park. This trail is the best place in the park to see bristlecone pines, many of which are 3,000 - 4,000 years old! (This photo was taken just before we reached the first grove of bristlecones.) The bristlecone pine groves are all over 10,000 feet in elevation.
