White Mountains, California

Customer Reviews
Among the White Mountains, nestled deep within North America's untouched wilderness, one of the oldest trees on the planet stood proudly, carrying centuries of history within its towering trunk. That is, until the U.S. government decided it would be a good idea to cut it down, ostensibly to determine its age. Because, of course, nothing says “environmental stewardship” like a chainsaw and a curiosity about rings! Ultimately, scientists discovered the tree was over 4,800 years old. Unfortunately, they also discovered that knowing its age wouldn't help it grow back. Who knew that a tree could be the ultimate casualty of curiosity?
