Adventure >Hiking Want to See Gus, a Tree Taller than the Statue of Liberty? The largest Western Larch in the U.S has survived the plague, and the Industrial Revolution. The record states Gus is 154 feet tall, though some sources indicate the larch measures 153 feet. Google Maps refers to the site as “Gus, the huge larch tree,” but the massive tree is actually located in Jim Girard Memorial Tamaracks Grove, a 60-acre old-growth grove of Western Larch. A close look at Gus shows the tree has seen a millennia-worth of trials and tribulations.
