I’ll let Mike Reynolds, the Superintendent at Death Valley National Park, do the talking for me…

"Right now is the best time to visit Death Valley in over a decade. The flower display is astounding and this is a rare time to experience one of the most incredible displays Death Valley has to offer. We don't know how long the bloom will last so come now!"

Triggered by a series of storms in October, the current wildflower display in Death Valley is at historic levels. Gravel Ghosts, Desert Five-Spots, and 20 other species of wildflowers are currently in bloom in staggering numbers.

The “super bloom” will continue through March, so all you need to do is click here for my handy-dandy Travel Guide to Death Valley National Park, then take a scenic road trip to one of my favorite places to visit in California.
