Redwood National & State Parks (RNSP),home of the world's tallest trees.

 Redwood National & State Parks (RNSP) in Humboldt County, CA, home of the world's tallest trees. 

Nearly half of the remaining old growth redwoods are in this park system, including giants five stories taller than the Statue of Liberty. They can live to be 2000 years old and grow to over 360 feet tall. Located in northern Humboldt and throughout the coast of neighboring Del Norte County, three California state parks - Prairie Creek Redwoods (Humboldt County), Del Norte Coast Redwoods & Jedediah Smith Redwoods, (Del Norte County) and Redwood National Park comprise the Redwood National & State Park system.  

In late 2006, naturalists discovered a new world's tallest tree near the original Tall Tree, whose discovery led to the creation of Redwood National Park in the 1960s. Located in a remote grove, the new titlist is called Hyperion and stands 379.1 feet tall, nearly six stories taller than the Statue of Liberty. Road access to the original Tall Tree Grove trailhead, after being closed a year for repair, reopened in 2014. I visited on 8th June,2014
