USA IMAGES: SUPERSTOCK; GETTY California BRISTLECONE PINES ABOVE: Bristlecone pine, Patriarch Grove, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, White Mountains BELOW: Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park California’s wonder trees are well known: ‘the very god of the woods’, as John Muir called the sequoia, the largest living thing on Earth; and the giant redwood, the tallest, stretching 400ft to the sky. But there’s another wonder tree that almost no one’s heard of, and it’s perhaps the most remarkable of all. With a potential lifespan of 5,000 years, bristlecone pines are the oldest living organisms on the planet, some predating the birth of Christ, the invention of the alphabet, and the fall of Greece, Rome and the Incas. When the first stones of the Egyptian pyramids were being laid, the most ancient of these gnarled and wind-twisted trees — found almost exclusively 10,000ft up in the White Mountains of California — already had its roots in the ground. But that’s not the only amazing thing about them. Using a combination of living and dead wood, scientists have now pieced together a continuous tree-ring chronology that stretches back 10,000 years to the last ice age. Peering inside their rings is like looking at a photocopy of the climatic conditions of our past, which is helping to combat climate change. These trees have stood watch over the rise and fall of empires, seen the atom split and man walk on the Moon. To be near them is to touch deep time itself and see the flash of our own lives. 4,849 THE AGE OF THE OLDEST RECORDED BRISTLECONE PINE, NAMED METHUSELAH AFTER THE MOST ELDERLY MAN IN THE BIBLE Colorado BLACK CANYON OF THE GUNNISON 2,722ft This 48-mile canyon, in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, is barely known outside of Colorado but don’t let that put you off. The Grand Canyon may be bigger, but this steep and narrow river gorge is just as spectacular. The chasm lights up blood red at sunset, with the silver sliver of the Gunnison River like a trail of mercury far below. Miles away from the artificial lights of civilisation, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (an International Dark Sky Park) is also one of the best places in the country for stargazing.
