Great Basin National Park Nevada Magnet

Bristlecone pine trees are some of the oldest living organisms on Earth. These ancient trees can be found in the Great Basin National Park, where they grow in harsh, high-altitude conditions. The bristlecone pine is known for its gnarled and twisted branches, which are often covered in a thick layer of lichen. These trees can live for thousands of years, and some of the oldest trees in the world are found in the Great Basin National Park.
