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.
We adhere to a strict code of ethics. These trees we visit were put here on earth many years, before any of us were born. With luck and care they will survive for many years to come. Some of these trees have been deliberately kept secret in order to protect them from injuries caused by throngs of curious visitors. We firmly believe in the principle of "take only pictures, leave only footprints" - but we understand that even the footprints from our tiny feet can harm the delicate root structure of the trees that we hold so dear. For that reason, we will strive to tailor our methods to the individual ecosystems that we visit so as to protect these fragile giants. Sometimes this means admiring the trees from afar. It also means that if we have located a tree which the custodians have kept secret for its own safety - we will not reveal the location publicly or otherwise. So don't ask.
