The Fall and Winter of 2004-2005 was very good for Death Valley. The park received a record amount of snow and rain. This caused the wildflowers to pop out in a record abundance. We made a camping trip in February in order to avoid the hot temperatures of the summer. The flowers were gorgeous then. We didn't think they could be any prettier But, we made another trip in March and they were AWESOME. Starting in the southern part of the park, the wide open spaces were covered with blankets of yellow, purple and red flowers, with many other species mixed in.
It was the most fantastic sight and something we might not ever see again. Making one last trip in April, the "carpet" had moved further north clear to Scotty's Castle and beyond.
Blessings,
