The ancient Bristlecomb Forest sits at 10,000 ft atop the White Mountains as if they were guarding the Owens Valley. Some of the ancient and odd looking twisted trees have silently stood on this site for 4,700 years. It has been said that standing amongst these ancient beings while looking down on the valley floor can make you realize how small we humans really are.
