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.
The tallest living creature on Earth based on height (378+ feet / 115 meters) is thought to be the Hyperion redwood tree in northern California. Because California (and southern Oregon) is the only place in the world to see the tall redwood trees over 200 feet / 60 meters, many visitors have redwoods as one of the must see items during their trip.
