About Pomona's Ganesha Hills

A Redwood grove in Pomona, Ca...who would have known? I decided to visit the grove yesterday. Since the weather had been hovering around 81 degrees for the past few days I knew the morning would be nice and peaceful to be out and about.

When I think of the giant Redwoods of Sequoia National Park I am filled with awe. Granted, the Redwoods in Pomona are approximately 32 years and can not be compared to the majestic beauties of the north. Even still these So. California Redwoods hold their own. As I walked along and in between them their sweet, clean, piney scent brought back fond memories of when I had been to Kings Canyon a few years back. The cool shade they provided near a couple of sitting benches was refreshing. I took several pictures and enjoyed my 20 minute stay. If you are near the area make sure to stop by and pull off the road to stroll among these timeless beauties.

The 250 tree Redwood grove is located at Ganesha park which happens to be Pomona's oldest park. The grove is at the north end of the park in the Ganesha Hills neighborhood along Mc Kinley Ave. The Pomona Fairgrounds are also across the street from the grove. This Redwood grove is the only one in So. California.
