Would it surprise you to learn that the world’s oldest trees are found in California? 🌲 California’s tree-mendous bristlecone pines are more than 2,500 years old, and one tree is estimated to be at least 4,800 years old, meaning it was alive before the Great Pyramid was built! 😮 These trees can survive in extreme conditions, and you can hike among these living fossils in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. 🥾 The forest is accessible from Highway 395, near Big Pine. 🚗 Note: The road closes in winter due to snow, and the Schulman Grove Visitor Center is open annually from mid-May through November, weather permitting. 🏔️ 📍Inyo County 📷 @sarah.schlos and @amy.traveling #VisitCalifornia #OldestTree #Forest #BristleconePines #RoadTrip #Highway395 #BishopCalifornia #California
