Description
The Bristlecone Pine Highway in the White Mountains, Calif. My FJ is parked down below at 11,500'. "Walking" up the loose dolomite "hill" is a tough slog.
The Ancient Bristlecone Scenic Byway follows California State Route 168 and Forest Service Road 4S01 (White Mountain Road), in east-central California. Passing through the outstanding scenic area of the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains, this U.S. Forest Service Scenic Byway climbs through pinyon-juniper woodlands to the world's oldest living trees located in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest.

Excellent POV, Joe! Love how the right side of the photograph is flecked with trees and clouds compared to the left side, which boasts mostly uninterrupted land and sky. Bravo!

wow...really? The worlds oldest living trees?? That's incredible considering the life of sequoia. How much time do you have to plan to get up there?

A most astonishing landscape. That such a forest of pines could live, and thrive, in such an inhospitable landscape is a testament to the toughness and determination of life. Wonderful image.
