Very Old Cedars



trying to decipher
the hieroglyphics of its bark --
300-year-old cedar














The red cedars in the Hoh Rain Forest, part of Olympic National Park in northwest Washington, are magnificent. Hike in four miles on the Hoh River Trail and you'll come to a stand of them, some linked together, and stretching toward the sky. Quite the arboreal cathedral.
