This Spring's Superbloom Could Be One of California's Best-Here Are the Top Parks to Visit

""Wildflower growth depends on a delicate mix of weather factors, including rain and its timing, amount of sunlight, seasonal temperature patterns, and wind," State Parks wrote in its forecast. "Depending on the region and weather, the peak bloom season typically begins in mid-February onward." Currently, some colors have already been spotted in both the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, which is northeast of San Diego, and the Red Rock Canyon State Park, which sits north of Los Angeles."

"Visitors to any wildflower site should ensure they explore responsibly, staying on designated trails and taking care not to tread on the blooms or pick any flowers. Park goers should also drink enough water to remain hydrated during their visit, make sure their vehicle has enough gas or electric charge since many parks are located in remote locations, and check weather conditions prior to going."
