The Pioneer Cabin Tree, also known as The Tunnel Tree, was a giant sequoia in Calaveras Big Trees State Park, California, United States. It was considered one of the US's most famous trees, and drew thousands of visitors annually. It was estimated to have been over 1,000 years old, and measured 33 feet (10 m) in diameter; its exact age and height are not known. It fell during a storm on January 8, 2017.
