Carrizo Plain National Monumnet

The superbloom of 2017 in Carrizo Plain National Monument

This section of the Temblor Range had purples, yellows, and oranges.  There is a clearly defined trail off Elkhorn Road, which starts at a wooden gate a few miles south of the Wallace Creek parking area ​

Looking down towards Soda Lake

There was not much distance to cover, but there are some steep sections.  I jumped over a snake near the top of this hill, after looking into it there are some rattlers in the Temblor Range

I visited the first week of April, the oranges were starting to fade on the hillsides facing south, peak bloom was week before in late March
