- California's Northern Coast is home to the tallest trees on Earth- but their height has been more of a curse than a blessing. I spent a snowy week in the Redwoods exploring this forest and its history.

As someone who lives in the wilderness in Canada, I can agree.. the only way to keep some areas beautiful is to keep them a secret. Humans are incredibly destructive. It’s a sad reality
As a supposedly 'intelligent' species, humans do some pretty dumb and shortsighted things, and we are not learning from our mistakes! Great documentary Aidin!
I makes me really angry and anxious how these beautiful locations are being destroyed for short term profit and long term suffering. Love your videos!
Minor correction: a Fairy ring isn't caused by seeds, it's caused by new trunks spawning around the perimeter of the fallen tree (from it's existing and still living root system. This creates a clonal colony in a ring shape of redwood trees, but really they are the same tree, both genetically and also connected physically through the roots.
Dude. Honestly wow, This is one of my favorite docs yet. The way you paved the story leading into the ending and the secret tree to finish off with a wonderful message is incredible.
I have now been in those trees for 35 years. Me and my family have hiked 99% of those trails and still enjoy them to this day. It is truly sad to know the trails I was able to do as a kid, my kids will never be able to. Every year more and more area is closed off to people due to the trash and destruction for sheer lack of respect for the area. Pretty soon the whole area will be closed to people at all. Thank you for the video, and stay on the trails.
From one videographer to another, this guy is top 0.1% of videographers AND he is a documentary genius! Well done
I was lucky to find Hyperion 15 years ago after years of searching. Glad it’s being hero hidden and protected so heavily.
We used to have redwoods all over the west coast, and now there’s so few. Those researchers are heroes
Man, as a nature buff. That hits right in the feels. People never realize the damage theyve done till its too late
He did state the most obvious "problem with being the tallest tree".
I work amongst these gentle giants. So sad what we have done to the ancient forests of the west coast, but I’m glad we can finally have some cleanup happening and people like you making videos educating us about it. Please help Save the Redwoods
Years ago I found a giant white oak in a State Park in PA. This tree was massive, probably 700 years old, its two main limbs were bigger in diameter than I am tall. Just beautiful! One week later it was hit by lightning and fell. The park says it has other giants within the park but I haven't been back.
I’m currently in Humboldt county as a travel nurse and I can’t get enough of these trees! Since I learned about this forest in a book in 3rd grade it’s always been at the top of my bucket list. I feel so lucky to be living less than an hour from the national park for a few months. This forest is such a spiritual place for me. It’s hard not to look at it as a mystical place with so much rich history. If you travel here please explore with care and respect so people can enjoy it for years and years to come. ❤
The production and amount of value in these short videos is unmatched. What an inspiration to get out. Thanks, man.
I grew up in the gorge, and I left to live and work in Southern California then Hawaii and these are both incredibly beautiful places, but there is this specific feeling being back home in the trees, I didn't know that trees were some of the oldest organisms on Earth but maybe we feel their wisdom and old spirt similar to how we can feel emotions from animals like our pets (not suggesting trees are pets lol). Anyway I miss trees.
The tallest tree we had in Norway was just a few meters from a road, and everyone living in the area knew it as "Goliat" after the giant.
The camera filming, Editing, Voice over, History, and journey in this video is absolutely incredible! Really good work to whoever helped to make this video <3
This video was made better than a Netflix show.
I felt a roller coaster of emotions in just a span of 10 min. Well done!
