Worth checking out.

It was a beautiful and easy hick to see this tree. It is not very well identified so we did walk past the huge tree thinking there might be an even bigger tree down the trail, but at the end we just came back to...More

Worth the short hike to see this fallen giant

Thanks to trip advisor review, we stopped looking for a marked trailhead and my intrepid husband found the unmarked trail - it is well worth the visit if you like rugged beauty. The path appears to have suffered the domino effect of the big wind...More

Worth the short walk!

The big cedar was very cool! It is worth the short walk to see it. I would not have been surprised if a troll or hobbit had popped out!

Amazing!

The trees in all of the Olympic National Forest just blew my mind. Coming from Florida which has no trees anything like this just awed us. Just sitting and looking at the trees and the beautiful nature all around is so nice. The air is...More

The western cedar is gone- it fell down last year

Don't bother looking for this, the tree fell down and now the trail is closed and not considered safe. Some handouts still have it but the attraction is gone

Nice break from driving

The Cedars are nearby . It is only 1/4 mile from the road, and a short walk from the parking lot. A nice break from driving

Big Cedar is so Big

There are three ancient cedars in the area. The one we visited was off Highway 101 with a short loop drive. The one near the Quinalt rainforest has fallen and the trail is closed according to postings at the ranger station. There's a third near...More

It would have been great, except it fell down in 2016

We wanted to see this tree and drove to see it. At the Ranger station was a sign that the tree had fallen down in a high wind last year and the trail was closed. Park brochure's still list it as a attraction.

HUGE tree, short trail

By this point in our vacation, we were no longer up for long trails so it was refreshing that this trail was not very long and the trail was easy. We discovered later that there was an even easier way to get there. We had...More
