Taken 3/24/24 — it’s almost here!! What to know ⤵️

NOTE: while we didn’t see the #superbloom, this is a great road spot trip that’s GORGEOUS all Spring. 🌸

ROAD TRIP TIP: We visited during our trip to Yosemite! It’s fairly easy to detour if you’re driving from #SouthernCalifornia (like LA, San Diego, Orange County)

⚡️WHAT to KNOW ⚡️

Carrizo Plains National Monument is a 200,000 acre gem — known for its stunning wildflower display! 

You’ll find painted hills, rugged terrain, and unique geological formations like the San Andreas Fault.

💰 Entrance: FREE

🍷 WHERE: Located 100 miles Northwest of LA in #SanLuisObispoCounty — near Paso Robles Wine Country. 

⛺️ STAY: There are 2 free campgrounds within the National Monument. 

🥪 There are very few services in the park— Make sure to bring food, water, and fuel up before entering the park!

🙏 Take only pictures and carry out all our trash - let’s allow the wildflowers to thrive and please be careful NOT to step or drive on the blooms. 

⚡️With California’s crazy rains this year, a #superbloom may be a big one! 

Is Carrizo Plains in Spring on your bucket list?
