Where is the tallest tree in the park?
The two tallest trees in the park are located five miles west of Highway 101 on the Mattole Road at the Big Trees Area. They are the “Tallest” Tree and the Giant Tree. The Tallest Tree is the tallest in the park at 360 feet. It is not, however, the tallest in the world. The nearby Giant Tree is between 357 and 363 feet. It is difficult to measure because its top is not visible. The top is hidden in a tangle of limbs. The Giant Tree was designated the Champion Coast Redwood by the American Forestry Association in 1991.
