Bristlecone Peak

Some of these bristlecone pines are dated to almost 5,000 years old, making these ancient trees the oldest living organisms in the world. Growing at over 10,000 feet elevation in poorly nutritious and dry soils, these trees thrive in some of the most extreme conditions this planet can provide. Image copyright Cher Peterson.
