Scott, There are four trees in Erie that you might consider taking a look at if you've got the time:
Fairview Sasafrass 15.8ft CBH x 60.7ft high last measured on 11/15/07 (state champ, easy to get to) Scott Park Cuke' 14.9ft CBH x 112.9ft high last measured on 4/9/094 (contender, not difficult-light hike amongst the tics) Springfield Cemetery Red Pine 11ft CBH x 84.4ft high last measured on 11/15/08 (state champ, easy to get to) Walnut Creek Beech 15.9ft CBH x 119.3ft high last measured on 2/22/04 (contender, hard to get too but the only real fatty in one of the drainages, there's also some decent sycamore just upstream of the intersection of Walnut Creek and Millfair Bridge) If time is really limited, then just take the family for a drive through the Erie Cemetery. They've got some nice tulips, old cukes and white oaks in there. If you've really got some time and want to see some dwarf old growth hemlock forest, then I'd go behind Penn State Behrend. There's a decent trail along the top of Wintergreen Gorge that takes you through a decent bit of the old stuff. If you go down in the bottom, there isn't any real old stuff, but some very nice waterfalls instead.
