This trees billing was dropped from tallest white pine in the world to state champion when it was cut down a year after its death in 1999. It is located at the Giant White Pine Campground on the scenic White Pine Byway near Potlatch, ID. It has been replaced in the tallest category by a tree near Elk River, Idaho that stands 219 feet high. No wonder the western white pine is the Idaho state tree.
