Tallest Redwood Shines in California Park
A 367.8 foot giant redwood in Redwood National Park is pictured as the tallest living thing on earth. The 500 year old tree stands near the center of the park, eight and a half miles from visitor parking, while locals lament limited tourist facilities and a timber-based economy. The 58,000 acre park, created in 1968, spans rugged coast 300 miles north of San Francisco and preserves half virgin timber. Conservationists seek expansion to shield 47,000 more acres of redwoods from lumber companies.
