Description:
From Wikipedia: The Muir Snag is one of the largest and tallest standing dead trees in the world. It is believed to be over 3,200 years old when it died. It has a maximum base diameter of 35.9 feet (10.9 m). The tree is still standing but only at 140 feet (43 m) tall. Before it died, its perimeter could have been as much as 110 feet (34 m). The tree is named for naturalist John Muir who described the tree as "the largest I measured" in a report for Charles S. Sargent, the Harvard botanist.
