Thank you for your visit, woventhoughtdesign.com. It is truly a memorable tree. We are but a drop in the lives of these Olympic giants. I notice you have many photos in Washington - are you from here? Best, alicia.
Hi mdvaden and thanks for stopping by. This was an early upload for me, and I may be off in my location of this. I will revisit it - GE was not too clear when I zoomed in here, and I didn't quite remember where this was exactly. I'm probably within 20-30 miles I'm guessing - ? I welcome corrections from anyone visiting. It is a known tree, one that most will visit if they are keeping their eyes out. The Olympic Peninsula is a wonderful haven for our remaining giants. Best regards, alicia
I have seen this big old tree many times and always stood in awe before it. I live about 75 miles away from Kalaloch. Unfortunately the old tree was blown over and destroyed in a storm. It is sad to see her go, but, as they say, time catches up with all, doesn't it?

Yes, this is an impressive tree. Kalaloch area is worth a trip to the Peninsula.

I live now for 20 years in Washington State; nature and landscape of this area are beautiful.

Howdy.
I've seen this tree in photos before. Is it where you placed your GPS marker, or just nearby?
Any signs? More trees like that?
Thanks.

Remember the dead-end loop where you parked? I had it wrong too, had to look it up on the web. very nice color/contrast btw
47°40'29.60"N, 124°23'33.08"W are the coordinates, according to Google Earth.
This tree stands as of late summer 2009. Here's my shot from this summer: http://www.panoramio.com/photo/27141704

now that I think about it, there was a nearby tree that had apparently suffered in a storm, but the big-famous tree is still there...
