Hike to ancient bristlecone pines and Nevada’s last glacier in Great Basin National Park.

High in the mountains of Great Basin National Park, ancient trees have endured wind, drought, and time itself. Join Outdoor Nevada host John Burke on a breathtaking hike to the Bristlecone Pine Interpretive Loop, where these resilient trees twist skyward from the rocky terrain at 11,000 feet. Also discover the last remaining glacier in Nevada, Wheeler Peak, which is likely to melt within 20 years.
