It rained a lot in Southern California last winter that have caused a so-called Superbloom of wildflowers. Lake Elsinore was the first place to experience an abundance of flowers. Its about a 90-minute drive from both Los Angeles and San Diego. The bloom in Lake Elsinore started the last week of February. Now the hillsides are carpeted in velvety orange, California poppies are beautiful and rare. This year it had really vibrant bloom mainly because of the right amount of water and the right soil temperature. As a result, tens of thousands of visitors have flocked to see a superbloom of poppies.
This town has been overwhelmed by Disneyland-size crowds and the traffic has come to a complete stop on Interstate 15 passing by the flowery hillsides. Few days later the city reopens the access to the fields after the massive crowds incident. Then, we decided to make a trip here to see what the poppy fields look like and take photos and see nature that we’ve never seen before so worth it.
