Utah’s Pando Is One Of The Oldest Living Things In America
Tucked away in the Fishlake National Forest, Pando might look like any other grove of trees, but it’s actually a unique organism, and well-known around the world. It’s thought to be the heaviest living thing on the planet, and one of the oldest as well.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date. If you know of a local business that could use some extra support during these times, please nominate them here: onlyinyourstate.com/nominate





The Forest Service and scientists from around the world are working to to restore Pando. When you visit, you'll find some sections of the grove fenced off. These research plots help us learn more about Pando, and how to help it survive.


Learn more about Pando on the U.S. Forest Service’s website. Have you visited this beautiful natural wonder? If so, we’d love to hear about your trip and see your photos!
