Sunset in the area of some of the oldest living things on earth - Bristlecone Pines - at up to 4000 years old.

This bristlecone pine resides at about 11,000 ft. in the Patriarch Grove of the White Mountains. Amazing trees that can survive the altitude, poor soil, and brutal winters for thousands of years. Perhaps the twisted growth patterns are the result of these struggles.
