Description

Verified ID of a Coast Douglas-Fir by Forest Service (entry in their Big Tree Registry).

Lots of small branches that looked alive were on the ground around the tree. I assume the weight of the branches coupled with the high winds Tahoe has received in recent days contributed to them snapping off.

Didn't notice the big Eagle/Osprey nest on top until I was walking back from my hike (hence the darker photo at the end).

Approximate location. North of the actual Logan Shoals Vista down on the old Lincoln HWY trail.
