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.
Searching for Hyperion is probably the single most challenging task I have ever undertaken in my life. Hyperion is a coastal redwood tree which has the distinction of being the tallest tree in the world. Not just the tallest redwood tree or tallest tree in California, but the tallest tree on the planet.
