"Lake Quinault is the “Valley of the Rain Forest Giants©” and the Big Spruce Tree at the Resort is one of them. The tree is the World’s Largest Spruce with a circumference of 58 feet, 11 inches, diameter of 18 feet, 9 inches and 191 feet tall for a total of 922 AFA points," the Rain Forest Resort says.

"A very large tree near Seaside, Oregon claimed to be the United States largest spruce tree, it has 902 AFA points. The American Forestry Association declared them close enough to be CO-champions.

"But sadly the Seaside tree fall to a winter storm in 2007, but another large Spruce tree has been found up the Queets Valley and again it has a few less AFA pionts then the Quinault tree but is larger in wood volume. it is about a 45 minute drive from the resort."

"Known as the Valley of the Rain Forest Giants, the Quinault Valley is home to some of the largest trees in the world, with only the sequoias and coastal redwoods of California growing larger. In total, the temperate rain forest of the Quinault Valley is home to six champion trees (the largest of their species) as measured and counted in points by the American Forests Association," the Outdoor Project says.

"One of these champions is the Quinault Giant Sitka Spruce, and with 883 points it is considered the overall largest* Sitka spruce in the world. Estimated to be roughly 1,000 years old, the tree stands 191 feet tall, 17.7 feet in diameter. It has a total volume of 10,540 cubic feet and an impressive crown spread of 96 feet. The remaining five champion trees include the world's largest western redcedar, Douglas fir, Alaska (yellow) cedar, western hemlock and mountain hemlock.

"To access the Quinault Giant Sitka Spruce, you'll only need to walk a short 0.3 miles one-way from South Shore Road on a well-maintained, relatively flat gravel trail."

"Find the world's largest Sitka Spruce tree located in the Quinault Rainforest," the Scenic Washington says.

"This area near Lake Quinault is known as the 'valley of the rainforest giants' and this ginormous specimen can be found near the Rain Forest Resort Village."

"Known to some as the Valley of the Giants, Washington’s Quinault Valley is home to some of the tallest trees in the world. The trees in the Quinault Rainforest are well watered with an average rainfall of 12 feet a year," the Atlas Obscura says.

"Though the redwoods of Northern California have a slight edge when it comes to height, the temperate rainforest is filled with towering evergreens, including six champion trees, recognized by the American Forests Association as the largest of their species.

"One of those champions is the Quinault Giant Sitka Spruce, which stands 191 feet tall and measures more than 55 feet in circumference. Estimates have put the age of this tree at roughly 1,000 years old."

"Picea sitchensis, the Sitka spruce, is a large, coniferous, evergreen tree growing to almost 100 meters (330 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter at breast height that can exceed 5 m (16 ft). It is by far the largest species of spruce and the fifth-largest conifer in the world (behind giant sequoia, coast redwood, kauri, and western red cedar), and the third-tallest conifer species (after coast redwood and coast Douglas fir).

"The Sitka spruce is one of the few species documented to exceed 90 m (300 ft) in height. Its name is derived from the community of Sitka in southeast Alaska, where it is prevalent. Its range hugs the western coast of Canada and the US, continuing south into northernmost California.

"More than a century of logging has left only a remnant of the spruce forest. The largest trees were cut long before careful measurements could be made. Trees over 90 m (300 ft) tall may still be seen in Pacific Rim National Park and Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia (the Carmanah Giant, at 96 m (315 ft) tall, is the tallest tree in Canada), and in Olympic National Park, Washington and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, California (United States), the latter of which houses the tallest individual measuring at 100.2 meters or 329 feet tall; two at the last site are just over 96 m tall.

"The Queets Spruce is the largest in the world with a trunk volume of 346 m3 (12,200 cu ft), a height of 74.6 m (244 ft 9 in), and a 4.4 m (14 ft 5 in) dbh. It is located near the Queets River in Olympic National Park, about 26 km (16 mi) from the Pacific Ocean." (Wikipedia)

"Drive one mile beyond the Pacific Ranger District, Quinault office on South Shore Road to reach the trailhead. From the trailhead along South Shore Road take a .3 mile stroll to enjoy the World's Largest Sitka Spruce," the Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture says.

"From Aberdeen, WA travel north on US Highway 101 for 45 miles to the junction with South Shore Road. Turn east on South Shore Road and travel 3.2 miles to the Big Spruce Trailhead. Parking is on the right. Walk across the road to the trailhead."

"This tree is called "Quinault Lake Spruce". It is the third largest Sitka spruce by volume (298 cubic metres or 10,540 ft3)," the Monumental Trees says.

"The measurements are from Van Pelt, R. (2001): Forest Giants of the Pacific Coast. Sitka spruces often start life in the wild on nurse logs, like this one, which results in very large bases. This tree has the largest base of any of the species.

"The girth of the tree, measured at a height of 1.37 m, is 16.90 m (2001, "Forest Giants of the Pacific Coast"). Its height is exactly 58.20 m (2001, Laser with Two-point measurement (e.g. Nikon Forestry 550/Pro) - sine method, "Forest Giants of the Pacific Coast")."

"Among the giants found in Olympic National Park, the Sitka is the largest of the spruce trees. Right here in Washington, nestled along the shore of Lake Quinault is the world’s largest Sitka Spruce and 4th largest recorded tree in our nation," the Pierce Conservation District says.

"With a circumference of 58 feet, 11 inches, diameter of 18 feet, 9 inches and 191 feet tall for a total of 922 AFA points. It’s thought to be 1000 years old meaning by the time Christopher Columbus stumbled on America, this tree was fast approaching its 500th birthday!

"The Sitka Spruce is the state tree of Alaska and it gets its name from an island there, formerly known as Sitka Island. It is enjoyed by wildlife such as deer, porcupines, elk, bear, and rabbits who will eat the twigs, and seeds. This easily grown and long-lived tree has many valuable uses and functions to humans including medicine, food, and building materials."
