About this verified tree
This Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir near the Pyramid Lake area is a massive standing dead tree on bench-like terrain. Its very large trunk makes it one of the more notable dead standing trees in the area, even though it is no longer alive. The site was not affected by the 2024 Jasper Wildfire, so this tree should be understood as a separate dead giant rather than a fire casualty.
