Pale ghosts that hide amidst their gigantic siblings, only a few
dozen Albino redwood trees are known to exist. They are genetic
mutants that lack the chlorophyll needed for photosynthesis-- how
and why they survive is a scientific mystery. QUEST ventures into
the deep canopy of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park near Felton,
California to track down these elusive phantoms of the forest.
