Death Valley National Park is experiencing its most spectacular wildflower superbloom in a decade. The unusually colorful display is the result of above-average rainfall last fall and early winter. These desert wildflowers, called ephemerals, spend most of their lives as seeds in the soil and only bloom after ideal wet conditions. The low-elevation blooms are expected to last until mid-to-late March, with higher elevations peaking from April to June. Visitors are encouraged to come soon, as the current low-elevation display is particularly stunning.
