The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest

RE Loc: California
 
This forest is home to the oldest recorded living thing, a Bristlecone Pine named Methuselah which is dated to be 4765 years old. Due to time restraints we were only able to do the shorter hike (it was getting late) so we had to settle for seeing a 4000 year old tree! If you ever have the chance to see these ancient beauties you will not be disappointed!

Rena, excellent set of photos and having a person in the photo is great. Like others have said having a person in the photo gives a perfect way to truely understand how big an item is.
