Ponderosa pine, over 260 feet tall.

After getting over the 212 foot Sequoidendron without getting snagged in branches, I went above 260 feet today, returning to a Ponderosa pine we found in 2011, in southern Oregon.

There was a lot of forest fire in that area a couple years ago. Hit and miss, but plenty of burnt patches among the forest. Here's the base of the same pine in the video I posted above. I'm behind the trunk, so it's actual size is about 5 feet diameter.
