+skeezicks Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I have ran across some interesting looking trees while hiking.I was wondering if anyone else had any pictures of unique looking trees seen while hiking.This one was in the Elkhorn Mountains in Montana. Quote
+webscouter. Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I missed it but many people find an interesting tree near the first cache in Hawaii Quote
+TotemLake Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I'm always on the hunt for the unusual tree. I like to call it my Ent Hunt. These next two trees were within 20 feet of each other. This next one is a cedar tree covered in snow creating the snow curl. Quote
bogleman Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 Lightning Strike (copied from the cache listing)The cache is located near the largest single stem black cherry in Cook Forest State Park, and was the largest in the PA State Park system. When alive, this forest grown single stem black cherry had a circumference of 13.1ft a crown spread of 61.5ft and a height of 121.7ft for a total of 294 big tree points. This tree could very well have been over 250 years old. Quote
TrailsEndTom Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Here is a pic of a tree near my home by Vernooy Falls in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Quote
+succotash Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 We saw these hugging pines in Cheraw State Park in South Carolina. Quote

+skeezicks Posted May 7, 2009 Author Posted May 7, 2009 Here is another one in Montana.If you look to the right of the tree under one of the branches at the skyline,you will see the face of a famous mountain here in the Helena area, The "Sleeping Giant". Quote
+skeezicks Posted May 8, 2009 Author Posted May 8, 2009 I just ran across this one while getting a cache in the Elkhorn Mountains here in Montana. Quote
+SidAndBob Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 Found this one today. Great to see an original thread BTW. Quote
Dinoprophet Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 The trees in this floodplain had completely exposed roots which all tangled around each other, like some Lovecraftian horror. Quote
+Ralfcoder Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I wasn't hiking, but I found this one while caching. It's called "the indian tree", and it's located on the grounds of the Civic Center in Traverse City, MI. Local legend says it was made by the indians as a pointer or trail marker. Quote
+skeezicks Posted June 6, 2009 Author Posted June 6, 2009 I ran across this strange looking tree on the way to get a cache on the mountain that is just to the north of where this tree stands...very weird looking,but cool. Quote
+TotemLake Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Ummm you need to see a Dr about that affliction. Quote

+Machuco Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Here's a big one I went to last year near Yosemite National Park. Here's one I saw just last weekend while on a snowshoe hike in the Sierra Nevada's near Loon Lake. Edited January 26, 2011 by dadfish Quote
+Team FUBAR Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Several of these posted, especially the one marked as suck look like they may infact be Indian Trees. It's very cool to stumble across one. We have several here in Central/Northern ohio from the MOhican Indian Tribe. Let me see if I can find some more information on them.... Lots of articles on them, too many to post here, but this will get you started.... It's a very interestring read about some of our past history: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Indian+trail+marker+trees Bill Quote
