English: At just over 4,850 years old the Methuselah tree is considered by many to be the oldest living thing on earth that is named and non-clonal. It lives somewhere along the Methuselah Trail at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in Inyo County, California. While the tree is located along the Methuselah Loop Trail the exact location is a closely guarded secret to keep it safe from vandalism.
Due to the secrecy of the location of the Methuselah tree, this photo is taken from a vantage point where the tree is clearly visible but also does not give any location information. The geolocation tag of of this photo has also been changed to protect the exact location.
