Redwood National Park, United States

Redwood National Park is a section of coastal mountains north of San Francisco that border the Pacific Ocean. It is covered with a spectacular forest of coastal redwood trees, the world's tallest and most stunning trees. The marine and terrestrial fauna are equally impressive, especially the sea lions, bald eagles, and endangered California brown pelicans.

The coastal redwood forest is the park's main feature, a surviving relic of a collection of trees that has existed for 160 million years and was formerly spread throughout many of the world's moist temperate zones but is now isolated to the wet sections of North America's west coast. The parks have some of the world's tallest and oldest trees. The two unique physiographic settings of coastline and coastal mountains, which comprise old growth forest and stream ecosystems, have rich intertidal, marine, and freshwater stream flora and fauna.

The Redwood National and State Parks are located along the Pacific Ocean's coast. It is covered with a spectacular forest of Coast Redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), the world's tallest living object and one of the most stunning trees. Several of the world's tallest trees may be found on the site. Redwood National & State Parks protect the world's biggest surviving contiguous old coast redwood forest in its natural woodland and streamside settings.
