Located in California, the Redwood National Park is one of the best sites in America's West Coast. If a question asks what makes the Redwood National Park so famous, you should start by explaining why it's one of the best American parks, with dozens or hundreds of thousands of people coming to visit it each year.

Hyperion Tree

One of the most famous things about Redwood National Park is that it contains the tallest tree on earth — Hyperion Tree. This tree stands at 379 feet tall with a circumference (around its base) measuring more than 25 feet wide! In fact, it's so big that there isn't even room enough to fit another person standing next to it!

Safe from Fire and Floods

The park was created to protect old-growth redwoods from logging as well as other natural threats such as fire and floods. The land within Redwood National Park has been preserved for over one million years, which makes it one of the oldest forests in the world. The oldest trees are approximately 2,000 years old!

Its Huge

Redwood National Park is one of three national parks located on the coastal region of Northern California, and it covers an area of over 150 square miles. The park contains all or part of five counties: Humboldt, Del Norte, Siskiyou, Trinity and Mendocino.

Coastal strand zone

The coastal strand zone is just above sea level and extends from the high tide line inland for about 20 miles (32 km). This area includes wide sandy beaches where one may find agates. Some beaches have driftwood logs covered with brightly colored marine algae that are remnants of a once-larger forest that grew here long before European contact . The strand zone is also home to many marine animals, including sea lions, harbor seals, elephant seals and an abundance of bird species.
