Redwood Trees The redwood trees of the northern and north central California coast are the tallest trees on earth. A relative of the sequoias found in Kings Canyon, Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks, these trees are not as wide as sequoias at the base, as large, or as long-lived, but they are considerably taller.
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.
