Crater's of the Moon National Monument, ID.  A sign beside this uninspiring looking tree reads in part:  "How old is this lava? A core from this wind-buffeted limber pine gave the first scientifically-bases estimate in 1954. The tree's annual growth rings proved the lava must be at least 1350 years."

Limber pine with parasitic mistletoe.  The mistletoe causes the clusters of tight branches, or witch's brooms, that dominate the profile.  This is located along the Devil's Garden Trail, Craters of the Moon National Park, ID

A lone tree grows atop the cider cone and overlooks the entire National Monument.
