Yosemite National Park, California, USA
Here at California’s Yosemite National Park, trees have mastered the art of ageing gracefully. This is redwood territory, home to majestic sequoias that tower over humans and animals. In a remote area of the park you’ll find Hyperion (‘the high one’), a 380-foot-tall sequoia – named after a Greek god of light – that’s more than six centuries old. Nearby you’ll find its relative, the General Sherman tree, famous for both its age (roughly 2,000 years) and its size.
