Red Rock Canyon State Park Wildflowers

[ProCaliberTraveler]

This weekend I decided to hunt wildflowers. If you didn't already know, California was pounded by more than 30 atmospheric river storms over the winter and received a record amount of snow in some parts of the Sierra Nevada. It has been a long and tiresome winter, but springtime is finally here. It arrived with a roar.

The images below come from Red Rock Canyon State Park in the Mojave Desert. I had never seen the desert so green and lush before and it was an absolute pleasure to wander amongst all the colorful wildflowers. Normally, Red Rock Canyon is a vibrant place because of its rock formations, but this visit was on another level.

This was just one stop on a road trip that extended roughly 700 miles...

Wow - that's a lot of flowers for that place. I stopped there for some blooms in 2019 but there weren't anywhere near this many flowers.

Interesting that flowers appeared in such abundance in the desert. In any case, luck is being in the right place at the right time. All the pictures are nice..

I am multicoloured with jealousy when looking at this gorgeous scene. We are in the middle of a spring blizzard with winds, snow and ice.

That's a huge amount of flowers Michael! I don't recall ever seeing that many there before. #2 is my favorite.
