Glance to the south from the Redwood Creek Overlook and know that Hyperion is somewhere out there.Ashley Harrell
Hyperion, the world's tallest tree, is bigger than both the Statue of Liberty and Big Ben. Our CA Parks editor, Ashley Harrell, made the trip to take a look. She doesn't recommend it - it’s impossible to tell from the ground which tree is the tallest.
The trek there, writes Harrell, "is not only a pain in the ass but also involves damaging the tree’s habitat, all for a negligible payoff."
