 Location
of Largest Sitka Spruce tree in the United States.
Actually it is tied with a tree in the Olympic National
Park in Washington
State. It depends on what statistic you use as
to which one is the largest. The one
in Washington
State is taller and
this tree is larger in circumference but the top has been lost to
lightning.

It doesnt matter which one wins the record, this site
is worth a stop to take the time to see this marvelous ancient tree.
