The Big Cedar Tree is, well, BIG. Because of heavy annual rainfall, damp ocean fog, and supportive soils and surrounding forest, it continues to grown and grow. There are now even other trees growing on this tree, using it as a vertical nurselog.

It has stood for centuries near what is now highway 101 on the west side of Olympic National Park and the Olympic Peninsula, between Beach 4 and Beach 6 at the end of a short trail on the east side of the road.
