Nooksack Giant

The Nooksack Giant was a superlative Coast Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) that grew at Loop's Ranch (now Alpenglow Farm) in Maple Falls in Washington State.

It was felled in early 1896 on the Alfred Bruce Loop Homestead with a crosscut saw by a team of men at the North Fork of the Nooksack river. The tree was measured with a tape after felling at 465 feet (142 m) in length, 33 ft 11 in (10.3 m) in circumference, or nearly 11 feet (3.4 m) in diameter at the base, and measured 220 feet (67 m) to the first limb.
