Solo day hiked Weds 11/15/2023 – Short stop on the way out from White/Barcroft mountains. Nice to see the largest Great Basin Bristlecone Pine, the Patriarch Tree, and think about all it has endured over 1500+ years. The loop trail is short but very scenic with the unique Dolomite soil, Limber Pines and informative placards along the way. Definitely worth the detour on the rocky but decent graded dirt road.
