The illustration in the San Francisco Chronicle article confirms that Hyperion resides on in the Redwood Creek watershed. The article also confirms that the tree resides in the region of the park that was added in 1978.

The Top

Here's a photo of the very top of Hyperion, it'll be difficult to use it to verify the tree - but it appears to be quite characteristic so maybe it's visible from afar. Hyperion is supposed to stand tall even compared to its very tall neighbors, it is also supposed to be located on a steep bank high up from the creek. Perhaps it would be visible from the opposite bank and identifiable using this photo by binoculars. [Source: Stephen Sillett's personal web page]
