Oldest Living Thing!


Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is located in the White Mountains of Inyo National Forest in eastern California.  The Great Basin Bristlecone Pine (Pinus Longaeva) tree grows between 9,800 and 11,000 feet above sea level. The trees are estimated to be about 4000 years old.  These trees are only found in the US and are the oldest known living things in the world.
