Due to the incredible rainfall we've enjoyed this winter and all through March, the local wildflowers will be spectacular and last longer this year. The show is just beginning and should peak in the second half of April lingering well into May, even late May, with help from an occasional shower or two. So just a heads up to head up to visit and enjoy the wildflower display. Watch as the green gives way to dry in the valley you can watch the transition of drying out moves up in elevation through the foothills. We're at 2500 feet.
