Another interesting tree along our path up the Washington coastline is the Kalaloch Big Cedar. A short gravel road leads to a small parking area and the tree is just beyond. This massive western red cedar is an impressive site. Legend suggests that it may be more than 1,000 years old. What ever it's age, it's a gnarled mess of trunks and branches forming a ball of life that just persists through time. A large trunk has fallen from the center of the tree, reportedly caused by a storm in 2014, but the tree lives on through it's other sections and branches. It's actually difficult to say whether this is single tree or a combination of many trees forming this visual cacophony.
