Today we visited the Bristlecone Pines Scenic Area, near Alma, Colorado. Here are some photos:

These trees are the oldest in Colorado, at around 1000 years. Very cool!

Wow, why there are so many so STRANGE trees?
Maybe it’s some anomaly place?
Yes, they are definitely some very strange trees. The bristlecone pines are the oldest living things on earth. Here’s more information about them:

I should note that the species that lives in Colorado aren’t the same as the REALLY old ones that grow in California.
