Mammoth Pines (site)
USA

Standing at the old felled remains of the Mammoth Sugar Pine, a former wayside alongside Highway 62 between Prospect & Union Creek, Oregon.  It was coined the largest sugar pine in Oregon but by the time it had died in 1966, it was a hazard to the nearby highway & was cut down.  Nearly 55 years later one can still see the felled remains & follow it for some distance.

 

More info from a sourced website below:

The Mammoth Sugar Pine formerly stood in a grove of large, old-growth sugar pines along Highway 62, between Prospect Ranger Station and Union Creek, in the Rogue River National Forest.  The stand of pines was once considered “the greatest stand of sugar pine in the world,” and an interpretive center was installed nearby to inform tourists traveling through the region about the massive trees.

The Mammoth Sugar Pine was the giant among giants, standing at 224” tall, with a girth of 7’11.”  By the time the tree succumbed to bark beetles in 1966, it was over 300 years old. The other mature sugar pines met a similar fate in the original stand, and the interpretive center eventually fell into disuse.  Scattered large sugar pines can still be found today in sections of the Rogue River National Forest.

More About USA

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.
