Description
The Redwood Grove is an 800-foot long grove located within Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Brea, CA. The grove is a unique local attraction as the redwoods require significant moisture and wouldn’t survive in the Southern California climate without the park’s dedicated irrigation system.
