The location of the world’s oldest tree are kept top secret to avoid tourist crowds damaging it.
What might be the world’s oldest tree — a bristlecone pine named Methuselah that is thousands of years old — is hidden in plain sight somewhere along the 4.5-mile Methuselah Trail in the Inyo National Forest in California.
For its protection, the location is kept a secret by the forest service – which means that nobody is exactly sure what Methuselah looks like.
