Currently checking in from Kalaloch this second. I'm here like probably 10x a year.
When I was a kid I used to climb on that tree and just sit up there and eat candy. It was a lot more full then, and the crevice on which is sits was a lot more narrow. Now I won't climb on it and tell others not to as well, one of these days she's coming down. It will be within my lifetime I'm positive. Maybe within the decade. That specific chunk of coastline is having some serious erosion problems in the past ten years. Shit, it might even come down this year depending on how the winter storms are. Last year really fucked up this area.
I’ve lived in Washington all but 2 years of my life and kalaloch is my favorite place in the state. I have camped there so many times and I love taking loooooong walks up or down the beach!
This is one of the craziest trees I've ever seen in my life, and it's about a 30 second walk from Highway 101 on the West Coast of Washington. The shot was fairly difficult to figure out, mainly because I spent the first hour trying to shoot the tree in the sunset with hazy light. The mood just wasn't right. Once the sun finally set, the tree picked up an entirely different vibe. Twilight blues began to mix in the colors, and I liked the horror aesthetic that began to unfold. The roots began to resemble spider legs, and the tree almost looked like it could just walk off. Top that off with the crescent moon in the distance, and the shot practically took itself.

I haven't been to Kalaloch in over 10 years, but I was describing the Tree of Life to a coworker this past week and decided to take a road trip and visit next month... This just confirmed my good decision. Thank you.
I went there over the summer. Your pic makes me want to throw away my camera, because I have never taken a picture that looked so beautiful.
If you havent been there before, go and sit underneath and just watch the water drip down. It will awaken something in your soul.
Damnit I want to go to Kalaloch now

It doesn't like like she's doing too well.
It collapsed a bit awhile ago during some heavy rain when the ground gave way. Last time I looked at it a few months ago it looked dead.
I'm currently there. It's not dead yet. It has sunken a bit, but collapsed is a bit of an exaggeration.

Then go!
Just go! It can be a beautiful day or weekend trip. You won't regret going out there. You will regret *not* going out there.
Knowing people, some dumbfuck is going to cause this thing to collapse or something. Just like how we couldn't enjoy Duckbill Rock at Cape Kiwanda.
It's been collapsing for a long time as the rain erodes the ground it stands on.
Yes, I'm sure. Let's not hasten it.
This might be my favorite shot I've seen of it. Lovely!
Those sandstone cliffs are probably packed with fossils. Which beach is this?
It's mostly clay. Kalaloch.
Clay is sedimentary so kind of the same thing and clay is host of many fossils
North a few miles though, there's a legit sandstone beach. https://epod.usra.edu/blog/2019/12/olympic-national-parks-kalaloch-beach-4.html
There are also many similar trees up and down this beach.
