Due to the above-average rainfall this year, a big bloom is expected in various area….including Pinnacles National Park. Park rangers there are reportedly getting lots of calls (and more people visiting), to see the short-lived bloom of the native wildflowers in the park. They recommend visitors take pictures of the flowers, not the flowers themselves, so that the flowers can re-seed the ground there. The peak of the wildflower season is expected within the next 2 weeks.
