Giant Douglas Fir

Giant Douglas Fir

A giant Douglas fir just below the big drop in Eagle Canyon. The tree is 25 meters/82 feet high. It's still smaller than the trees in the Pacific Northwest, for example, but here is the Utah desert, it is huge. Douglas fir are rare in the San Rafael Swell, but this one is able to survive in the desert due to abundant shade and a pool of water that is usually present.
