Cedar Breaks National Monument sits at over 10,000 feet and looks down into a half-mile deep geologic amphitheater. The bristlecone pines that live here, some of which are over 1000 years old, thrive in this high elevation. The slow passage of time has allowed these trees to evolve and thrive in harsh environments, but with the rise in temperature due to global climate change, the bristlecones are facing new challenges.  

Faster growth due to higher temperatures could make the trees more susceptible to fungal and insect damage. National Park Service employees are working alongside researchers to study the past and present changes due to climate change and any to the bristlecone tree and other park plants and animals as well.

Stand on the rim of Cedar Breaks National Monument in Utah and overlook the amphitheater of rock formations that tell a story of ancient mountains and seas. Witnessing the snow-covered pinnacles and cliffs becomes increasingly difficult as the roads and visitor center close for the winter. But as the snow continues to build, Cedar Breaks Scenic Drive will be transformed into a marked and groomed snowmobile route and the rest of the park will become a winter playground for those on snowshoes and skis. Staring at this landscape, shaped by erosion and weathering, we're reminded that even the most timeless views are in a constant state of change.  Photo by Ethan Hammer, National Park Service.
