Fact: Hyperion, the tallest known living tree, is a coastal redwood standing at 380 feet. It was discovered in Redwood National Park in 2006, but its exact location remains undisclosed to protect it from damage. Most redwoods live 500–700 years, but some can reach 2,000 years. Hyperion surpasses other towering redwoods like Helios (377 feet) and Icarus (371 feet). Before its discovery, ‘Tall Tree’ in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park held the record at 367.8 feet. These giants showcase the incredible heights redwoods can reach.
