Great Basin National Park, Bristlecone Pine Tree



This is one of the bristlecone pine trees that is still standing although it has obviously been thought a lot! Look at those colors! This was a great hike through a forest of trees that obviously have to struggle to live. They said that these trees can live to be over 4000 yrs old and the harder they struggle for survival the longer they live. Trees with much easier time only live 300 to 400 yrs!
