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.
Hyperion is the name of a coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in Northern California that was measured at 115.61 metres (379.3 ft), which ranks it as the world's tallest known living tree.[1] Despite its great height, Hyperion is not the largest known coast redwood; that distinction belongs to the Lost Monarch tree.
