Isolated on a small island in the middle of the Ohanapecosh River and thus protected for ten centuries from fire, avalanche and flood, the trees in the Grove of the Patriarchs have grown to gigantic proportions, their tops battered by the storms of a thousand winters. In this small area are 20 western red cedars more than 25 feet in circumference; among them is the largest cedar in the Park. There are ten Douglas-firs over 25 feet in circumference; one is 35 feet. The trees are estimated to be nearly 1000 years old.
