Triple Twist Tree

            This gnarled limber pine helped to determine when the last eruptive episode occurred at Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, Idaho. 

Dating of the tree in 1954 by counting its growth rings estimated that it was likely to be 1500 years old. Allowing for a bit more time for soil to develop, the lava flow on which it grew - the Blue Dragon Flow - was inferred to have erupted in or before the fourth century. Other dating methods point to the last activity being about 2000 years ago and the volcanic field is considered to be dormant rather than extinct. 

Unfortunately the tree died in 1961 [NPS].
