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.
Helios, as noted above, is the 2nd tallest tree in the world, behind only Hyperion. Both are coast redwood trees that are located somewhere within the vast wilderness of Redwood National Park. Their exact location has never been made public by those who discovered the trees back in 2006, and probably never will.
