Spruce Burl Olympic National Park Beach 1, WA

Where to enjoy ultimate Coastal Forests and beaches? Along the wild coastline of Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State!
To see what burled trees along the Olympic shoreline look like look for the odd spruce burls in the mysterious spruce burl forests at the Beach 1 trail near Kalaloch. They rival the redwood burls seen in California's dense redwood forests.
No one is sure what causes these strange bulge-like burls in the area's Sitka spruce population - perhaps some kind of rare virus or just a reaction to the constant barrage of salty sea spray.
The trees along Beach One don�t seem to mind: Many of them are hundreds of years old and reach up 125 feet into the coastal canopy.

Life at the Top - Duncan Cedar Olympic National Park, WA

The 178 feet tall Duncan Cedar, located near Nolan Creek south of the Hoh River in Washington State, is known as one of the biggest western red cedar trees ever found.
The "grandfather tree" shoots above the surrounding forest, its bare exterior aged to a silver gray over its 1,000year life. The tall trunk is stark, with some fresh growth, mixed with plants using the ancient cedar as a host, stretching out from its top like a patch of hair atop an elderly man.

Western Red Cedar - Thuja plicata - Olympic National Park, WA

If the loggers who spared the Duncan Memorial tree hoped the tree would show their hearts were in the right place, they knew little about trees.
Of course the giant western red cedar tree could not survive the fierce winds of the clearcut. First the mosses and lichens, then the tree itself, began to die. And there it stands today: A bleached skeleton with few living branches.
There is a message there that one can not miss: Imagine trying to preserve this king of the forest, when all his kingdom lies in ruins. Soon Duncan Cedar's bones, too, will lie at Nolan Creek.

Long Views - Giant Western Red Cedar Olympic National Park, WA

Naming a tree as the tallest adds a bit of romance, lore and human scale to the coastal forests that carpet the West End. The Duncan Cedar's name tells a story that reflects the lifestyle of the logging community found at Forks. Three loggers, the brothers Doug, Ed and Wiley Duncan, were felling trees on state land in the forest south of the Hoh River in Washington State when they found this giant western red cedar. They went out of their way to save this towering tree. A comment from Wiley Duncan sums up why. He said: "We may have cut bigger trees, but this one is truly a monarch." The effort of the Duncan brothers resulted in the huge tree being skipped by the loggers.

A Remarkable Tree - Duncan Western Red Cedar Olympic National Park, WA

The Duncan Cedar's immense base with its many muscular twists and turns is remarkable. Stepping back and sizing up the tree, the comparatively short life span of a human comes to mind, for the Duncan Cedar began its life over a millennium ago.
The tree was here alive and growing in the quiet forest south of Forks, WA at a time when the only way to knock down a tree was slamming a rock axe against thick wood after propitiation of the tree's spirits and those of the surrounding trees
