The Largest Sitka Spruce Tree in the United States, though I heard of some controversy involving another sitka on the Olympic Peninsula which is taller but not as wide. This is not even the base of the tree which is protected by a raised platform I'm standing on.
This tree is 56 feet in circumference and 206 feet tall. It's estimated to be over 750 years old.
Look at how tiny the trees in the background seem! I couldn't do the "arm out in front" shot for this. I actually used the timer which I rarely do.
The purple fringing is outta control on this shot. I'm saving for a digital SLR.
