Death Valley National Park just posted a new wildflower update
The hot spot this week is Titus Canyon. Things are looking pretty nice up there right now. Another spot that is looking better and better is Emigrant Canyon Road, with patches of paintbrush and endless Acton Encelia. Townes Pass has some nice spots. Dante’s View is still beautiful, with fields of Desert Dandelion. Get out of your car and you’ll find Desert Gold Poppy, Wooly Daisies, Fremont and Death Valley Phacelia, Mojave Asters and Pebble Pincushion mixed in with all the Dandelions.
The wind this week has taken a toll. The Panamint Daisies have been wiped out by it, no longer worth a special trip. Gold Valley is done. Greenwater Road still has a lot of flowers, but the variety is down. This area is past its peak. Many of the higher elevations have not yet begun to bloom, though, so wildflower season is far from over. Happy flower hunting!
