Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: The Hollow Tree
Canada's version of a drive-thru tree: massive lower trunk of a 700+year-old Western Red Cedar has been a popular photo op landmark since 1888. Tilting, damaged, the tree was stabilized in 2009, with walk-up access to pose in the opening. Tree-hater tried to burn it down in Sept. 2014.
