This nature trail forms a half-mile loop east of the Ranger 
Hole Trail, beginning and ending about 100 yards beyond 
Interrorem Guard Station (175 ft/ 53m).

The path might well be called the Trail of the Giant 
Stumps. The ferns, the second-growth forest (Douglas-firs 
up to 30 inches in diameter) and the vine maple are 
beautiful, but the enormous stumps of the cedars and firs—7 
to 9 feet in diameter—are more impressive. One is saddened 
to think that the trees were cut down merely to be sawed 
into boards.

As the trail circles around, it goes through a bower of 
vine maple, then comes out behind the guard station and 
rejoins the Ranger Hole Trail.
