King Range in Bloom

With the height of Spring upon us there is still time to get out and enjoy the wildflower season. The King Range provides several different types of habitat for wildflowers including beaches and dunes, cliffs and grasslands, and coastal forests. King Range trails provide access to help you and your friends get prime views of wildflowers.

I recommend the Spanish Ridge Trail for flowers that like cliffs and grasslands and the Horse Mountain Creek Trail to see coastal forest flowers.

As you follow trails or hike along the beach please remember to “Leave the Flowers.” By practicing Leave No Trace you”ll help to maintain wildflower viewing for others who come after you. 

I have seen so many great flowers this year and I’d like to share some with you. Enjoy and get outside!
