Cedar Breaks National Monument, The Great Basin
Bristlecone Pines at Spectra Point are growing on Limestone soil. As is also
the case in the White Mountains of California, the oldest Bristlecone Pines
are almost always growing in Limestone soil. Researches believe that they
prefer this soil because its light color reflects the sunlight, which keeps
the soil temperature cool.
