One of the oldest living things on planet Earth. There are only a couple older individual Bristlecone pine trees, which the park service intentionally protects from eager visitors that would love them to death. This ancient tree is an example, how people climb and trample the roots and branches of this invaluable natural wonder, so hiding the oldest individuals is a wise choice.
