Tips from locals
This is one of our favorite places and is about an hour away! This big ole cedar tree is 18 feet in diameter and about 177 feet tall. It is one of many in this particular grove, and just happens to be the largest this side of the Continental Divide! It feels very prehistoric back here in this forest with giant ferns. You would think a pterodactyl might fly by! You can find this cedar grove about 11 miles on a gravel road from Elk River, ID. While in Elk River be sure to check out the Elk River Lodge and General Store and get yerself a huckleberry soft serve ice cream cone—so refreshing! Ask them for directions to the giant cedar!
