Comment
The first picture of the Jeffrey Pine was taken by Carleton Watkins in 1867. Many photographers, among them Ansel Adams, did so too. The pine tree died during the drought in 1976 even though a lot of people brought water to the top of the mountain to save the tree. The tree remained standing until 2003.
