Question: Hidden in a Northern California park, the tallest known tree of all soars to about 380 feet, taller than the Statue of Liberty. What is this record-holding redwood’s name?

Answer: Hyperion, a coast redwood in Redwood National and State Parks in Humboldt County, stands about 380 feet tall, making it the tallest known tree on Earth. Although its location has been publicized over the years, the National Park Service now prohibits public access to the area around the tree to protect the fragile habitat from damage caused by visitors.
