Walker Canyon Poppy Super Bloom in Southern California

Walker Canyon in Lake Elsinore has become a huge tourist destination over the last few weeks with the amazing super bloom that is currently happening. I went to check it out and document the event a few days ago and it was pretty incredible to see but you need to be prepared and patient for the lack of parking and tons of traffic. Also, if you visit, make sure you are respectful to the area and to the people who live near Walker Canyon who are trying to get back to their houses and places of business during this busy event. Lastly, the city has opened and closed this area a few times already so if you are planning to go be sure to check their Instagram where they post updates on the current status and get there early to avoid the crowds. All that being said, this is an amazing super bloom and one of the best I have ever seen in California.

Spring 1999. After a wet winter and early Spring driving through Monterey and Big Sur, never forget, trillions of wild flowers everywhere. Every imaginable color as far as you could see. Was glad to have shared that with my Mom. Miss you...

I was there Tuesday, 7am and it was so nice and peaceful, just hiking up and just being in awe- lots of purple Chia and California Bluebells to break up the orange. Also wild Mustard plant and Popcorn plants to contribute a little white/yellow in the back. It’s truly an experience to see this. Thank you for reminding your viewers how not to act when visiting.

I thought about going, but I heard on the radio about the big crowds. And oh boy, it does look very busy. I can only imagine how it is on the weekends. Still worth visiting, I think.... Thank you for sharing Josh 😊

I really wanted to thank you for all your amazing videos, they have really helped us on our current trip. We are currently in Temecula and will be headed this way tomorrow before we have a few days in Huntington Beach and then onto LA. We had an amazing time in Joshua Tree thanks to your suggestions. From there we went to the Grand Canyon South Rim, Vegas and San Diego. We have a suggestion for another video for you- Cabrillo National Monument. We really enjoyed the history, views and pretty easy 2.5 mile trail hike here. It would look great on your channel when you next visit San Diego. Amelia and Sarah

Wow! So gorgeous - am hoping to have time to head over to the Carrizo Plain soon and see the flowers there. Crazy amount of people so thanks for the reminder about staying on the trail!!

Very nice video. Reminds me of the poppy state preserve in the Antelope Valley where I grew up.

[Jeannified]

We drove by there on the way from San Diego to Upland, to visit my husband’s family two weekends ago. Gorgeous! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger bloom!

So happy you came, we are just 15 mins away.

I finally beat you to a location by 4 days!!! Temecula, so Lake Elsinore is close by. I heard that the crowds are so big Lake Elsinore is curbing attendance. As always love your content.

Another good info for me to prepare Cali road trip in July, I should consider arriving earlier to make a safe parking spot, thanks for spring trip video to this Mt.

This is honestly one of the best parts of spring in California. The spring bloom of poppies is so beautiful, especially when driving into Cali, from the backside of Riversides hill, on the 10. Great video as usual!
