Poppy Morning
California poppies at the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve, then lunch back in Lancaster.
- Mid-February to May; best from late March to mid-April
- About 30 min each way from Lancaster, before traffic
- Some walking. Up to about a mile, at your own pace, with some slopes or uneven paths.
A sample day
Times are a guide. You and Eugene set the real plan when you book.
- 8:30Pickup at your door or meeting place
- 9:00Poppy Reserve: the visitor-center area and a short loop, at your own pace
- 11:30Lunch in Lancaster (your choice of restaurant)
- 1:00Home
Good to know
- The bloom changes week to week. Eugene checks the reserve's wildflower hotline that week, and you can move the date if the flowers are not out.
- Trails at the reserve are dirt. Riders who prefer not to walk far can enjoy the view from the visitor-center area.
