Springtime Flower Guide
Sightseeing
Starting in early March, flowers like Wild Hyacinths, California Poppies, and Lacepod make their appearance. Flowers are often marked along the trail with small informational signs telling you their common and latin names. Often, these small signs help you to see a flower you might otherwise miss, like the well camouflaged Pipe Vine flower. Locals often hike the trail once a week or so in between March and May to see as many varieties of flowers as possible. The State Park offers guided hikes at 11am on Saturdays and Sundays.
