If you’re looking for another great spot for springtime wildflowers, the Carizzo Plain National Monument is a good place to head.
I went there last year as part of a wildflower tag team with Pinnacles National Monument, and while I found the Plain to be desolately beautiful, there wasn’t that much of a flower show when I was there. However, Calipidder made a trek to the Monument recently, and had a much better show.
She’s got a post up with over 130 outstanding photos of California wildflowers that is well worth your time. Go and gawk, and then start planning your wildflower trip before the season ends!

Thanks for the link – we sure are lucky to have this stuff in our backyard. Hard to take a bad pic when nature gives you that kind of subject!
One of the other neat things about Carizzo (though I haven’t personally tried it yet since no one I know has the time) is that you can free-camp along the 4wd roads in the hills surrounding the plain. For those who don’t backpack, it’s a neat alternative to getting out into the wilds…
