Cape Perpetua • Oregon Coast • Very Large Spruce

We went for a gorgeous hike on Spruce Trail in Cape Perpetua to a giant spruce tree. The Sitka spruce is more than 185ft tall and has a circumference of 40 ft. The Oregon Heritage Tree Program announced that the Giant Spruce of Cape Perpetua had been designated an Oregon Heritage Tree. The trail itself was full of oversized ferns and was overwhelmingly green and lush. Moss covered many of the tree limbs and much of the ground. It rained for the first part of the hike, but when the sun came out as we made it to the tree, I swear things got even greener.
