GIANT SITKA SPRUCE TREE


We're still at Cape Perpetua, and today we only had time to fit in a short hike from our campsite to the Giant Sitka Spruce Tree.  The trail was gorgeous, and the Giant Tree (500 years old, 225 ft. tall, 15 ft. across, with a tunnel of roots beneath) was striking! The photos don't do it justice, but the top one is from the outside of the tree, and the bottom is a view from inside the root tunnel:
