A wildflower super bloom is a rare event that only occurs when conditions are perfect: warm weather after a good fall soaking, which we happen to be experiencing right now. Millions of wildflowers are currently blanketing the usually barren Death Valley desert, making this the most impressive super bloom in the area since 2005.
If you make the five-hour trek (and we highly recommend that you do), expect to see such beautiful and spectacularly-named varieties as Brown-eyed evening primrose, Purple sand verbena, Desert five-spots, Gravel ghost and Desert gold, among others.
Take a look at some of the gorgeous vistas blooming as we speak—and then plan your own trip before the flowers fade!
