Where are some good places to see wildflowers in Southern California?
Spring wildflowers add a burst of color to all kinds of Southern California natural areas. From scenic coastlines to vast flower farms. Here are a few places to see wildflowers in Southern California that we think you'll enjoy:
- Wallace Creek Trail, Santa Margarita, CA: The Carrizo Plain is a massive grassy plain along the northern border of Santa Barbara County. This 50-mile swath of rolling hills explodes with color in the spring when wildflowers bloom. Wallace Creek Trail is a wonderful hike right through the middle of vast fields of purple and yellow flowers whose contrasting colors pop with a glorious hue.
- Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, Lancaster, CA: The California state flower is the rich and vibrant poppy. And there is no better place in the state to see why we fell in love with this gorgeous wildflower than in Antelope Valley. Imagine splashes of orange, red, yellow, white, or even pink poppies as far as the eye can see. If you find yourself in this beautiful California region around mid-April, be sure you attend the annual California Poppy Festival at the Antelope Valley Fair and Event Center.
- Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve, Carpinteria, CA: This hidden gem is one of our favorite places to enjoy the ocean air, spring flowers, and California Harbor Seals. You can experience a wonderfully diverse selection of natural wonders all in one spot, from gorgeous coastline views to fields of wildflowers backed by a vast blue sky. You'll also see a unique geological feature known as the Carpinteria Tar Pits - natural asphalt lakes very much like the La Brea Tar Pits in L.A.
