California's State Parks system spans 1,000 miles, the length of the entire state of California. Among its most beautiful and precious assets are the redwood trees, over 2,000 years old and recognized as the tallest living things on earth. Coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) can be found on California's North Coast in Humboldt County's vast alluvial plains to the Big Sur Coast.
