There are signs pointing to two different cedar tree attraction on US Highway 101: "Big Cedar Tree" between Ruby Beach and Beach 4 (south of Ruby Beach near milepost 163) and "Duncan Memorial Big Cedar Tree" (north and inland from Ruby Beach near milepost 170). "Duncan Memorial Big Cedar Tree" is the World's Largest. Of course, I discovered this after visiting the wrong tree, so I get to go back. :-)
