Bridge Creek Towering Fir

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

About this verified tree

An exceptionally tall Rocky Mountain Douglas-Fir near Bridge Creek and Abraham Lake, measured at roughly 129 ft — the tallest Douglas-fir documented during the survey. The tree was visible from a distance and stands out as the dominant individual in the veteran complex. Despite its height, the trunk also exceeds 11 ft in circumference and shows heavy fire-charred bark, giving it the character of a long-lived survivor tree that maintained dominance after past fire events. The tree is estimated at approximately 475 years old, having germinated around 1551.
