About this place
Photograph some of the oldest trees in the world. Some of these living trees are over 4000 years of age with their twisted and colored wood.
To get to the goods head east out of Big Pine, CA on Hwy 168 into the mountains for 13 miles. Turn left (north) on White Mountain Road to the Bristlecone Pine Forest. The road winds through a beautiful forest of Pinyon Pines and Western Junipers and leads to amazing views of the rugged Sierras. In 10 miles, you'll turn right to arrive at the Schulman Grove parking lot. There are plenty of bristlecone pines to shoot in this area.
Beyond Schulman Grove lies the remote Patriarch Grove, 12-miles north on a good quality dirt road.
Both Patriarch and Schulman Groves are best to shoot in the early morning light and sunset. There are plenty of unique trees to photograph. Make sure to allow for plenty of time to get your winning composition!
