Twisted Forest
Dixie National Forest It is unexpected while standing among the aspens and spruce, but right about at the edge of Ashdown Gorge Wilderness the soil changes and conditions are good for Bristlecone Pines. We walk through a break in the thick wall of bright green to find ourselves looking at a bleak landscape of red and tan decorated with the twisted forms that give the trail its name. Walking past the sign with the trail among the trees ahead visible. Following the rock lined trail into the bleak landscape.
