1. Anza Borrego
Nestled in the heart of California, Anza Borrego Desert State Park offers one of the most radiant wildflower displays I’ve ever witnessed! We we’re taken back by the vibrant tapestry of colors that complimented each other harmoniously. As if the wildflowers weren’t stunning enough on their own, the mountain backdrop elevated the scenery to something truly dreamlike!
Best time to visit:
We visited the bloom in Mid-March. A spring bloom of annual flowers takes place approximately January through mid-April. Now, it’s important to check with The Anza Borrego Foundation’s website for updates on the wildflower bloom for the approaching season. Every year can be different! Currently, the larger-scale bloom is not expected for 2025 due to low rainfall this year. It is said that the desert will still have some blooms with higher concentrations in the more remote canyons.
What flowers you can see:
Low-Growing & Ground Cover Flowers:
Sand Verbena – Clusters of purple-pink flowers.

Additional Resources/ Information:
Be aware of the time of year you visit and the whether you’re visiting lower or higher altitudes. Wildflower blooms can change dramatically depending on whether you’re at 2,000 feet or 5,000 feet.
A reminder to wear adequate footwear! Even with many spots accessible by car, the trails still require some walking over uneven terrain.
Please do not pick the flowers! Wildflowers are protected in national parks, and it’s illegal to pick them.
Stay on the designated trails to avoid trampling wildflower meadows. The delicate alpine flowers are easily damaged by off-trail foot traffic.
Always be prepared for unpredictable weather, especially in higher elevations. Even in summer, temperatures can change, and there may be occasional rain or cool wind, so bring layers and sun protection. Some trails might still have lingering patches of snow, even in the peak of summer, so always check trail conditions before heading out!
