Enjoy Socially Distanced Spring Blooms in California
It all begins with an idea.
Wildflower season is beginning! Below are some of the places where visitors can safely and sustainably enjoy spring blooms across California. While visiting, be sure to maintain six feet from others, sanitize your hands frequently and wear face coverings when in close proximity to other hikers.
