It's an Arbutus or Pacific Madrone, their colours are amazing but sometimes hard to capture on pics !
 
Arbutus menziesii... one of my favorite trees and one of the most beautiful in the world. We used to call them refrigerator trees when we were little because of how cold they are to the touch. Great pics Pit.
 
i think pitdog's photos have convinced a few members to move to bc :)

or atleast contemplate with the idea :D

thanks for the pics dude.

Cheers
 
Enjoyed the pics pitdog. There's a similar red-barked tree in Texas called the Texas Madrone. They are plentiful in the area near the entrance to Big Bend National Park. Very pretty. Here's a pic from the internet:
