Redwood National Park is home to some of the tallest trees on Earth, with coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) reaching heights of over 370 feet. One of the tallest known trees, Hyperion, stands at 379.7 feet—taller than the Statue of Liberty. These ancient trees can live for over 2,000 years, growing in the moist, foggy climate of Northern California. Their thick bark, which can be up to a foot deep, helps protect them from fire, insects, and disease, allowing them to thrive for centuries in the park’s unique ecosystem.
