About this verified tree
This Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir in the Pyramid Lake trails is a large dead standing tree growing on sloped terrain, with separate upper- and lower-slope circumference measurements recorded. It has no needles and is beginning to shed its thick bark, showing a later snag stage while still preserving strong trunk scale. The tree was not affected by the 2024 Jasper Wildfire and is best understood as a large remnant dead stem rather than a fire-killed tree.
