The Rain Tree is a 3,000-year-old Bristlecone Tree, one of the oldest living things on Earth. Bristlecone pines are fascinating trees that are among the longest-lived organisms on Earth. These extraordinary trees can live for over 5,000 years and thrive in extreme environments with meager conditions.

This massive Bristlecone Pine Tree, known as "Raintree" or "the Raintree," is over 3,000 years old and is one of the oldest living things in Nevada! Bristlecone Pines are some of the longest-living organisms on the planet and can survive for centuries in incredibly dry, harsh environments. Regardless of your destination, this tree is an amazing piece of natural history and is well worth a stop on your hike on the North Loop Trail.
