Great family adventure! The Methuselah trail is a great 4 mi hike through the 5,000 year old trees. Great views of the eastern Sierras on the way up and a great view toward Death Valley while on the trail. It’s at 10,000 feet, so take your …
It is in the remote area in California. We visited here when we drove along HWY-395. It is paved road from Big Pine to the visitor center. The discovery loop is next to the visitor center and it is modest trail. You can see the oldest trees in the world here. It is really amazing.
Lovely visitor center with lots of information. The Methuselah trail has beautiful examples of art in nature, with the twisted trunks of the ancient trees. Groves of flowering mountain mahogany and other high altitude flowers even in …
Beautiful place, we loved hiking 🥾 there. It took us 2 hours almost to hike 4.2 miles. You don’t know which trees are oldest though …
Beautiful Ancient Pine Forest. Visitor center was cool for a hot day out and Rangers friendly. The hiking trails are well marked. Need good hiking shoes can be steep uphill. Can be hot so bring water. Visitor center does have bottled water and restrooms. Entry fee per car or use America the Beautiful pass for seniors.
It was amazing to see such ancient trees, some of which have been around for more than 4000 years. The trail is quite short, about 1.5 miles but the views are spectacular. Be careful if you visit during the winter since the road to the site is not properly maintained.
Access to this park is a long, gravel road but worth the drive. The ancient trees are amazing to see for yourself. The Visitor's center was closed when we went but there is plenty of information around it and along the trails.
Very cool to see these ancient trees. Visitor center is closed this time of year but very well maintained area with nice trails.
.If you drive about 30 minutes off the freeway on a curvy road, you will be able to get to this destination.This was a one mile hike, or there are several longer hiking trals. I did not want to wear myself out. Because we were planning to go to death Valley for some cool Enjoyment. .Ha..... ....
This place is great. Visitor center is great. Everybody helpful and interested. Trees and landscape are beautiful, though the more "ancient" trees can be a hike to go see and it is over 10,000 fett altitude.
