Though they're not nearly as large as redwoods, under the right conditions bristlecone pines have been known to live substantially longer. The oldest tree living at the present time is a bristlecone pine that's (appropriately) been named Methusalah. It's still alive, and has been for almost 4700 years, around 1000 years longer than any known redwood. The oldest ever (at least of which I'm aware) was cut down in 1964, and was found to be 4862 years old at that time.
From a tourism viewpoint there's a bit of a problem though: the oldest bristlecones live right at timberline, where the conditions tend to keep most tourists away. In places that are relatively hospitable, they rarely live beyond a few hundred years or so. There aren't nearly as many web sites about these trees as the redwoods, but one stands out:

As photographic subjects, I've found bristlecones more approachable than redwoods. I've seen (including in this thread) pictures of redwoods that are really nice, but none has (at least to me) done much to convey the real feeling of being in the redwood forest. Bristlecones are a bit easier of subjects -- it's relatively easy to show some of the twisting from the wind, and the cracks they've formed where they grew into formerly solid rock.
These pictures are at Wilkerson pass (along US Highway 24 in Colorado) at about 9500 feet elevation. I doubt that any of the trees is much more than a few hundred years old at most, but I think they're still pretty cool. For that matter, I'm not good enough at identifying trees to be absolutely certain these are really even bristlecone pines. I do have some pictures of trees that I'm sure are bristlecones, taken much closer to timberline (on the west side of Pikes Peak) but they're on film, and my slide scanner is in storage right now...
