Free & Less Crowded Spots for Superbloom Appreciation in California
This place is akin to a mini version of Walker Canyon. You'll find an intense growth of poppies here!! The hills are filled with poppies and other wildflowers spread across multiple slopes.
Entrance is free, and it's perfect for photography due to fewer people and a profusion of flowers! Also, it's near Diamond Valley Lake, so you can conveniently stop by to see the bloom.
Experiencing a superbloom in LA gives you a real sense of wonder! The entire landscape turns into a shade of orange-yellow, offering a stunning view at every click. Primarily, the wildflowers here are poppies and little yellow flowers. There are tiny purple flowers too, but they're not as eye-catching. Gazing into the distance, the hilltops transition between orange-yellow hues, appearing like nature's own palette.
This mountainside doesn't have a name, and the parking space can be a bit cramped. The road leading to it can be bumpy. If you prefer fewer people, try to come early in the morning, so you can have a hillside full of wildflowers to yourself.
Once you've parked, the spectacle of wildflowers covering the mountains hits you. As you ascend in the direction of the mountain, you'll first walk up a small slope, which is an excellent spot for photography (Picture 10). If you want fewer people, we recommend moving to the left after climbing the slope. This side of the mountain covers a larger area and is densely flowered. Just standing on the trail with the wildflowers as a backdrop makes for a perfect photograph (Picture 4)! There are two more mountains behind, but the flowers there are not so dense.
The entire area isn't too large; if you're here for hiking, roughly half an hour would be enough to cover it. Despite the slopes, the incline is gentle, making it easy to traverse even in a skirt.
š The best time to view the wildflowers is between 10 am - 3 pm, when the poppies are most radiant.
š Since there aren't many trees for shade and it's sunny and windy
