California desert wildflowers: MARCH 2010
Experts are predicting a fabulous “El Nino” wildflower bloom. Dust off your camping gear and get ready for the next sunny weekend. Time is of the essence!
See all Cali DESERT PARKS and TOWNS: popular places for wildflower viewing are Anza Borrego Desert, Upper Antelope Valley, Joshua Tree Park, Death Valley, Mojave Desert Parks and the Eastern Sierras Owens Valley. Lower deserts (0-3000′ elev) will bloom first and then high deserts (above 3000′ elev) in April and into May 2010. By mid summer they will all be gone and you would be lucky to see any greenery in the low deserts.
Racer X says – Wildflowers can also be found in my dirt bike tires. But don’t worry, we are just scattering more seeds for next year. Kind of like when your mom said “don’t shave that hair, it’ll just grow in thicker!”
Total Escape politely begs you to “tread lightly” – and pick up some litter folks.
