Historic Hike: The Bristlecone Pine Grove at Windy Ridge – The True Millennials
Have you ever seen a 1000-year-old tree? Join Ken Torrington to learn about and walk through a grove of these resilient and amazing living structures. In addition to walking 1-2 miles across the Windy Ridge tundra, we will visit parts of the grove protected from winter’s 100 mph winds. Along the way, we will stop briefly at the nineteenth century Paris (Stamp) Mill to learn about Park County’s rich mining history.
