Witness a sea of color at Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve. Visitors rave about the unique site and how it changes from one day to the next. The colorful wildflowers flourish and fade across the Antelope Valley’s undulating hills, from mid-February through May each year.
The park is an incredible place to explore on foot, with eight trails winding through its rolling hills, including one accessible, paved section for wheelchair access. A welcome escape from the city, the reserve offers a quiet place to take in the sights and sounds of the desert. Keep an eye out for wildlife - beyond bird and hawk sightings, look for lizards and harmless gopher snakes. You may even spot a coyote or bobcat along the way.
The Jane S. Pinheiro Interpretive Center onsite features wildflower and wildlife exhibits, a video, watercolor paintings inspired by the surroundings, and a gift shop. Shaded tables just outside are a perfect place to have a picnic overlooking the colorful valley.
Just a 20-minute drive from the hotel, Comfort Inn & Suites is the perfect base camp for experiencing the wildflowers in season.
