Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve

Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve

One of the best places to view California's official state flower is at the Antelope Valley, located in the Mojave Desert near the peacefully desolate countryside of Lancaster. Experience over 8 miles of walking trails that traverse the gently rolling hills covered in breathtaking golden California poppies. The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve is one of the most popular of all the California poppy fields in the state. The poppies thrive in this protected area which also happens to be a perfect microclimate for poppies.

Each spring, the Antelope Valley California poppy Reserve re-emerges as a national treasure. Poppy Reserve wildflower blooming season generally lasts from mid-March through May depending on the amount of rainfall during winter and early spring. The duration and intensity of colors and scents vary from year to year. Check the Antelope Valley California Poppy Live Stream Webcam before your trip.
