Some tower more than 350 feet high, taller than the Statue of Liberty; some may have been seedlings when Jesus was born. Yet, these natural legends still shroud centuries-old secrets. We reveal the little-explored environment of the redwoods using high-tech aerial laser surveys and breathtaking imagery.
