Great Basin National Park Nevada

We are here because I want to visit one of the Bristlecone pine groves in the park. They grow between 9000 & 11000 feet and are the oldest living things on earth. They cut one down in the 60s and it had 4900 growth rings. We are camped at 7000 and we did a pretty vigorous hike yesterday above 8000. We will probably only stay 2 nights.
