Gnarled trees (spruce) near Round Top Lake, Sierra Nevada, California. Elevation here is a bit over 9300 ft (2835 m). The high point in back on the left is Round Top (10,381 ft/3164 m). And yes, that white stuff on the slopes behind is snow, lingering into August as it should!

Either a single tree with a twin trunk, or two trees side by side. Some kind of conifer, a spruce I think, growing around 10K ft (~3000 m) near the crest of the Toiyabe Range, central Nevada, USA.
