Registration

Each individual participant must register to attend. Participants under 18 must have a parent/guardian register for them. Registration is, and always will be, completely free! Optional donations support our continued stewardship and policy programming. 

Register here!

Important considerations:
  • The walk covers about 1 mile with 300 feet of elevation gain and loss, at an elevation of 10,000 feet — please be prepared for high-altitude conditions.
  • There is no running water at Schulman Grove. Bring plenty of water and enough food or snacks to stay comfortable.
  • Vault toilets are available at the trailhead (availability may vary depending on Forest Service maintenance).
  • Wear sturdy shoes you’re comfortable walking in for over a mile.
  • The guided walk lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours and begins at 11:00 AM at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest Visitor Center. Please arrive a few minutes early.

Take a step back in time and experience the resilience of the bristlecones — we look forward to seeing you on the trail!
