Record-Sized Trees Details
The forests of Olympic National Park, particularly the rain forests, include some of the largest surviving trees in North America. Just off the South Fork Hoh Trail, for example, stands a 298-foot Douglas Fir, which boasts a trunk circumference of 448 inches. A Sitka Spruce near Lake Quinault is even wider -- measuring 707 inches around -- and 191 feet tall. Another rain-forest dweller, the Western Hemlock, is represented by three specimens over 200 feet tall. The park also includes a 159-foot Western Red Cedar (across from the Rain Forest Motel on the shore of Lake Quinault) and several other huge examples of firs.
