The Kentucky Derby is a long day, with a lot of walking, so pack accessories accordingly. We recommend a large bag (but be sure to stay within the size limit) to carry a pair of shoes, a bottle of water, your program, sunglasses, sunscreen, a poncho, and anything else you might need during the day.
Meet Hyperion, the Worldâs Tallest Tree. Up until August 2006, the tallest known tree in the world was a 369-foot California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) nicknamed âStratosphere Giantâ, located somewhere in the Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California.
Just recently, I've started thinking about maybe going to find and photograph the tallest known redwood, Hyperion. Has anybody been around, or know any parks employees, guides or bartenders than may have caught wind of someone who might know what drainage it's up - one feeding Redwood Creek? Maybe they overheard but have not gone there.
