Fishlake National Forest
The Fishlake National Forest is home to the aspen clone known as Pando (Latin for "I spread"). This clone is the heaviest known organism alive today, estimated to weigh approximately 6 million kg (over 13 million pounds). It is also among the oldest known living organisms, estimated at 80,000 years old. Pando is located on Utah State Highway 25 about a mile southwest of Fishlake.
