Big Tree Loop Hike

Overview

The Oregon Caves National Monument is one of the overlooked jewels of Oregon; even more overlooked is that, in addition to the Oregon Caves Loop Hike , you can take a trail that leads around the perimeter of the monument taking in Siskiyou Mountain woodlands and meadows and, surprise, Oregon’s largest Douglas-fir in terms of girth, the Big Tree , with a diameter of 13 feet. It is worth spending the time to do this short loop, enjoy the ambience of the Oregon Caves Chateau, a classic national park lodge, and take in the caves themselves.
