"The super bloom has migrated north to California's Central Valley and the show is simply indescribable at the Carrizo Plain National Monument. The Valley floor has endless expanses of yellows and purples from coreopsis, tidy tips and phacelia, with smaller patches of dozens of other species. Not to be outdone, the Temblor Range is painted with swaths of orange, yellow and purple like something out of a storybook. I have never seen such a spectacular array of blooms. Ever." Carrizo Plain National Monument is one of the best kept secrets in California. Only a few hours from Los Angeles, the Carrizo Plain offers visitors a rare chance to be alone with nature. Some visitors say you can "hear the silence." The plain is home to diverse communities of wildlife and plant species including several listed as threatened or endangered and is an area culturally important to Native Americans. . Plan your trip today to see wildflowers carpet the valley floor and check out our NEW Snapchat filter while you're there! Be sure to come with a full tank of gas when you visit and call (805) 475-2035 24/7 for updated flowers reports, road conditions and closures.

Last post of our wildflower love-in week... and what a flower power showstopper! These are the Temblor Mountains / Carrizo National Monument in California. This is how they have looked over the past few weeks due to one of the best California Superblooms ever. We recently wrote about this unbelievable display of flora for a new book out this summer - The Bucket List: 1,000 Adventures Big and Small. Wildflower wandering is way up there in our wish list of things to do and see. Who wouldn't want to get lost in this kaleidoscopic expanse of daisies, blazing stars, phacelias, Californian poppies, lupine, sun cups, delphinium, fiddleneck and wild onion to name a few stars of the show? Apparently this is what much of the Central Valley looked like before agriculture moved in. Of such a display, the great Scottish-American naturalist John Muir once said if you walked across it in March, April or May, one footstep would press a hundred flowers. One day, John, we will. For more info see the Bureau of Land Management's Carrizo National Monument webpage from where we found this amazing 📷 of the Superbloom 2017 by BLM wilderness specialist and photographer Bob Wick.
