The Wild Goose Pass Tree is a historically significant tree which was originally located at Austin Pass near Glacier, Washington. The tree was marked by surveyor Banning Austin in 1893 during a road survey of the region; the mountain pass Austin surveyed, which was originally known as Wild Goose Pass, was renamed Austin Pass in his honor.[2] The U.S. Forest Service later moved the tree to the Heather Meadows Visitor Center, which is located along the Mount Baker Highway in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.[3] The tree was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 7, 1991.[1]
