3:09 p.m.: The coastal redwood region is a narrow strip of land extending 450 miles from southern #Oregon to about 150 miles south of #SanFrancisco, with by far the greatest concentrations of redwoods occurring in #HumboldtCounty. #HumboldtRedwoodsStatePark is #California's largest #redwood state park and includes the #RockefellerForest, the largest remaining contiguous old-growth coast redwood forest in the world! With an average lifespan of 500-700 years, coast redwoods can live to more than 2,000 years and grow to over 360 feet in height. Their great longevity is not why redwoods are called sequoia sempervirens, or "sequoia ever-living". Rather, the scientific name refers to their ability to sprout from root stock as well as from seed. The world's tallest tree was discovered in late 2006 in an undisclosed location in the #RedwoodsNationalStatePark in Humboldt County. It was named #Hyperion and is 379.1 feet tall, which is nearly six stories taller than the Statue of Liberty. #ExploreMore #CaliforniaCoast #BeautifulDestinations
