The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest is a protected area high in the White Mountains in Inyo County in eastern California. Protected within the Inyo National Forest, the Bristlecone Pine Forest is home to the oldest trees in the world, bristlecone pines. The bristlecone pine trees grow between 9,800 and 11,000 feet above sea level, in xeric alpine conditions. Some of these living trees exceed 4000 years of age and exhibit spectacular growth forms of twisted and beautifully colored wood.
With a signature shark fin-shaped rock surrounded by spectacular cliffs, Martins Beach is one of California's most spectacular coastal locations. High bluffs are visible at both ends of the scenic cove. The rock has an arch in the bottom that is only visible from the north.
