Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree

65 metres high, this tree is the tallest fire lookout tree (that's open to the public) in the Pemberton region. Climbing to the top is a great challenge for the adventurous, yet a dangerous one. A four-storey tall lookout cabin is perched high above the tree, with wobbly ladders leading to each tier.
