The climb of 200 feet begins with help from dad

2026-09-05 - Quinault, WA - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com
Photographer Robert Ellis and his Navigator, Tammy, recently paid a visit to the world's largest* Sitka Spruce tree, located on Washington's Olympic Peninsula in the Quinault Rainforest at Rain Forest Resort Village. Robert says the little girl on the tree in the photo got stuck and was hollering for an assist from her (nearby) dad.

*The Big Spruce is nearly 200 feet tall, and approximately 1000 years old. According to the Resort's web page, there is some controversy about exactly which Spruce holds the world title, which may explain the vandalism to their sign.
