This impressive Sitka spruce is 40 feet around, 185 feet high, and over 550 years old. The ancient giant actually sprouted on a nurse log and stands on its roots, forming a small grotto. You can access Cape Creek here and there are other big spruces on the trail in. The tree was designated a Heritage Tree in 2007.
