    Trapper Creek Wilderness in southwestern Washington. As far as I know, only the Salmon River Trail near Mt. Hood rivals these trees.

    The gallery for the story on these:

    Love the pictures Frank, and thanks for taking us on the hike the lazy way. You look like you are about to launch a war somewhere - that gear must have weighed a ton (or at least felt like it).

    Beautiful country Frank. I'm surprised you didn't show us the Sitka Spruce that is near there as well. It is huge, not that the ones you have shown are not.

    No Sitka Spruce nearby

    Hi, greyflash.

    No, there wouldn't be any Sitka Spruce nearby. They only grow near the Pacific Ocean in the forest lowlands, no more than about 15 miles inland. I was 120 miles from the coast.
