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.
