Southern California Is Bursting With Color in a Rare 'Superbloom'

Walker Canyon is in the Temescal Mountains.

The heavy rains were enough for lush blooms all over California.

The Yellow poppy is also known as the California poppy.

Thousands of people have flocked to the desert and southern California mountains to get a view of the flowers.

The colorful hills and deserts are in stark contrast to how these scenic landscapes have looked in recent years.

Even after the superbloom, visitors to southern California can catch the local blooms for another month or so.

Predicting the exact date of the superbloom is difficult, however March and April are typically when blooms happen. The hotter the weather, the earlier the bloom will be.

If you love flowers, start planning your trip for next year now.
