EASTERN SIERRAS – BRISTLECONE PINE FOREST

C/6(3300’)/21;

C/4(3300’)/34;  

CD/6(6700)/47

This route takes us to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest (el. 10,100') in Inyo National Forest.  This is a very big day to cycle up to the old wood in the heavens of White Mountain – nice visitor center at the summit surrounded by Bristlecone Pines. The Inyo Mountains are not heavily forested, so you can see the whole thing start to finish and gaze down on the Palisade Glaciers of the Sierra. SHORT/EZ START options meet half way up the climb at White Mountain Road junction. You may be charged a nominal fee to enter Bristlecone - bring money or your NPS park pass. Carry your lunch and a lot of water on the ride – water available for purchase at top.  This ride is co-listed with ACTC.
