	Great Basin Bristlecone Pine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In California, it is restricted to the White Mountains, the Inyo Mountains, and the Panamint Range, in Mono and Inyo counties.
		It differs from the Rocky Mountains Bristlecone Pine in that the needles always have two resin canals, and these are not interrupted and broken, so it lacks the characteristic small white resin flecks appearing on the needles in that species.
		Among the White Mountain specimens, the oldest trees are found on north-facing slopes, with an average of 2,000 years, as compared to the 1,000 year average on the southern slopes (Lewington and Parker, 37).

	White Mountains (California) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The White Mountains of California are a mountain range that runs along the eastern side of the upper Owens Valley, just east of the Sierra Nevada.
		The highest point in the range is White Mountain Peak, which at 14,252 feet (4344 m) [1] is the third-highest in California.
		Ecologically, the White Mountains are like the other ranges in the Basin and Range Province; they are dry, with relatively few trees, but the upper slopes hold open forests of mainly Great Basin bristlecone pine with some Limber pine and Lodgepole pine, and of Single-leaf pinyon and Utah juniper on the middle slopes.

	Inyo Mountains Wilderness
		Managed by the Bureau of Land Management and Inyo National Forest, this wilderness encompasses a large portion of the Inyo Mountains, which rise to 11,000 feet at Keynot Peak and separates the Owens Valley on the west and Saline Valley on the east.
		These mountains have maintained most of their pristine character due to the sheer ruggedness of the terrain.
		Vegetation includes creosote, shadscale scrub, big sagebrush, lush riparian areas in most of the canyons on the eastern slope and pinyon-juniper woodland, bristlecone and limber pine on the higher reaches.

	CALIFORNIA'S PLANTS AND ANIMALS
		Taxonomic Remarks: The Inyo Mountains salamander is a distinct species distinguished from all other species of Batrachoseps based on its large size, short tail, broad head, and distinctive coloration without a dorsal stripe (Marlow et al.
		The Inyo Mountains salamander appears to be nocturnal, taking shelter under moist rocks or in damp crevices during the daytime (Macey and Papenfuss 199 la).
		Status: Threatened; the relatively restricted distribution of this California endemic to limited habitat in the Inyo Mountains and the very small area of estimated ideal habitat may make this species especially vulnerable to habitat alteration.

	Owens Valley, California
		Upper Precambrian metamorphic rocks are indicated with Z, Tertiary continental sediments with Tc and Quaternary alluvium with Q. The valley coincides roughly with the eastern margin of continuous Sierra Nevada batholithic rocks, although scattered Jurassic plutons dot the White and Inyo Mountains and ranges to the east.
		The Alabama Hills, the low range of hills in front of the mountains, are a small horst between two strands of the fault.
		The few glaciers in the White Mountains were on the east side, apparently fed by snow blowing over the ridge and protected from afternoon sun.
