I figured it was in NE Nevada in the Great Basin Desert. And knew it was Bristlecone Pine.

I'll bet it is located on a Mountain that is over 10,000 feet high and located about 30-40 miles SE of Ely, Nevada. Kind of near the Utah border. But also away from the other Bristlecone Pine's that people go up there to see.

If you like desert environments, it is a great place to visit or even camp out on that Mountain for a few nights. There are campgrounds there.
