A very large, very old alligator juniper in SW NM. 70" DBH makes it #2 for the species.

Here's a good size Ponderosa pine I came across today while out taking my muzzleloader for a hike.

Kids keep yer noses clean. You never know who’s going to document you if you get yourself in a compromised position.

Got in an area with a number of big old western larch yesterday. All the tops were gone for years, but they were all still alive.

This is the biggest plains cottonwood I have seen. 8 foot in diameter.

We are fortunate enough to own some
land with some big oaks that managed to avoid the chainsaw.

My brother and I stumbled onto this hollowed out shell one year. I camped inside it the next.

You’re side of the Mountain

Nice old growth in the PNW, probably about 60% of the size of the biggest one I have seen up there

This is a really cool thread. Waiting to see a few monster Sitka Spruce pics. I wish I had taken some of the big ones encountered in my travels.

I read an article in the newspaper several years back talking about the discovery of the nations largest oak tree. The landscape looked super familiar, but the exact location was a big secret that wasn’t made public. I spent spare time over the course of several years looking for that oak tree on long and exhausting hikes. I also spent countless hours on google earth measuring tree canopies (seriously). I finally found a tree on google earth that was in a remote canyon, with extreme terrain, and over a 100’ canopy. I marked it with my GPS and spent a day hiking to it. When I arrived to the mystery tree it was indeed the same from the newspaper article!!! What are the odds? I located the “champion oak” using similar techniques we all use for e scouting our hunts. I thought it was pretty cool, although most my friends aren’t too impressed hahah

I saw some dandies out of Rowan Bay when I worked out there.

I grew up in Redwood country, Humboldt county. I remember logging trucks with pup trailers, the logs were halved horizontally to fit on the trucks. Not so much these days.

I always like the way Steinbeck summed up Redwoods:

“The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time.”​
