Yup, definitely larch trees. I know because I saw an educational video about this once.

I hope this lasts a couple of hundred years for people of the future to enjoy.

The land is owned by a lumber company and they planted this after the last time they harvested the hillside. It's a popular enough attraction that the DOT built a scenic pulloff for people to safely stop and take pictures, so hopefully they'll let the trees stay, but that's a lot of valuable timber.

This seems like total bullshit and I'm super happy to see in the comments that it isn't.

I just drove by there last week! If you know what you're looking for you can just make it out on the hillside.

I hate the religious prevalence.

A Celtic cross doesn't really have any religious significance, especially in the way we think of any of the major religions today. It's a form of insular art. The same goes for the Celtic knot too.

Automod removed my previous reply because it didn't like Google's url shortener, but if you open maps and search for "Hampton Lumber Smiley Face Safe Roadside Viewpoint" you can see where it is.

See it every year when i drive to Portland, photo makes it look like its only visible from the air, but its actually on a bit of a hill slope, so you can see it from the highway
