Bridge Creek Clawed Fir

Rocky Mountain Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. glauca)

About this verified tree

The largest measured Douglas-fir from the Bridge Creek field survey, with a circumference exceeding 13 ft and a height over 123 ft. Growing near the creek, this tree has especially heavy fire-charred bark and major veteran features, including burls, old crown damage, and a top that appears to have broken and regrown. Bear claw marks were also observed roughly 10 ft up on the west side of the trunk, adding to its value as a long-standing wildlife structure within the grove. The tree is estimated at approximately 575 years old, having germinated around 1451.
