Here's a pic from todays hike, not a great picture by any means, but what seems impressive to me is that this tree is still very much alive (see the inset)

It may be alive, but I wouldn't set up a camp below it.:(

What kind of tree is it?

Yikes, that's a really good question. I was so surprised by this tree I didn't really stop to figure out what it is :o:o:o The pic I took of the whole tree is so wide angle and doesn't give me enough detail to identify it. Perhaps this picture might give someone with more knowledge a clue:

From the picture, to me, it kind of looks like a Butternut (Juglans cinerea).

Here's a picture of a Butternut I took yesterday. For years, it has been limping along, but I guess, it finally bit it. We have a problem with Butternut in this area (maybe yours too). I think it's some kind of blight or something.

The outline and the bark look similar.
