Carbon Canyon Redwood Grove

dapaul2017 (Atlas Obscura User)

What to see some Redwoods in Southern California? Take a walk through the Carbon Canyon Redwood Grove Trail. These Redwoods are non-indigenous to the area, but we’re planted as seedlings in 1975. They can live up to 2,000 years old and grow to 370 ft (eventually). It was majestic to walk amongst a species that thrived during prehistoric times. Stay on the path to not harm the root system, which reduces soil compaction. Take it in, and enjoy a peaceful view of baby Redwoods while taking a light hike.
