Chasing the Carrizo Plain Superbloom

A one-day adventure through California’s wildflower wonderland—with a simple itinerary to help you experience it too.

Spring is in the air in Southern California. It may not be official for another week or so but we are seeing it pop up all around us. On freeways, backyards, mountain, or hillsides, and valleys. If you live here, you know what I’m talking about. The wildflowers. Oh yes! The joy that springs up (pun intended), when seeing bits of yellow, orange, purple, white, and pink turn into carpets that look like a can of paint spilling down and across slopes and beds of the Californian landscape.
