Ancient Bristlecones Pines, White Mountains, California, Sep 2012
As part of a week long trip to central California, we spent September 17th, 2012 in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains of Eastern California. Basically, you head up into the mountains to the East of Big Pine, California, which is on highway 395. You take highway 168 up into the mountains, following the signs to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. These are very ancient trees, some of the still living trees are almost 5000 years old!
