Explore the Redwoods: A Scenic Trek through Carbon Canyon Regional Park
Sunday, May 18, 2025
Trailhead Location: 4500 Carbon Canyon Road, Brea, CA 92823
Hearts For Sight (HFS) and the Sierra Club are excited to invite you on a memorable adventure through the beautiful landscapes of Chino Hills State Park and Carbon Canyon Regional Park, nestled in northern Orange County near Brea.
Chino Hills State Park covers an impressive 14,000 acres, featuring rolling hills, wide grasslands, and lush woodlands—a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Directly adjacent to it, Carbon Canyon Regional Park offers a more serene experience, with its tranquil surroundings and family-friendly atmosphere, all shaped by the damming of Carbon Canyon Creek. Despite the challenges faced during the 2010 California drought, a resilient grove of towering redwood trees continues to thrive within the park’s boundaries.
Our journey will focus on the Carbon Canyon trail, which features smooth dirt paths, roads, and the occasional concrete sidewalk. The hike begins with a refreshing creek crossing, setting the stage for a relaxing and immersive nature experience. The trail leads us into the awe-inspiring redwood grove, providing a peaceful retreat surrounded by shade and serenity.
Following our exploration of the grove, we’ll loop back through the park, where we can unwind and enjoy a leisurely lunch on the grassy lawns or at the picnic tables. With only four miles to cover and minimal elevation gain of 100 feet, this hike promises to be a perfect blend of exploration and relaxation in a stunning natural setting.
