This California Flower Field Will Be the Most Instagrammable Travel Spot This Spring

"In spring, visiting the 50-acre Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch feels like stepping into a rainbow — for more than 60 years the hills of Northern San Diego County have put on this annual show, and the best display comes from the Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that blanket the fields from early March through early May (this year the season starts on Mar. 1, 2022, with peak bloom typically in April). I can stroll designated paths for up-close views and photos, relax on plentiful benches and picnic tables, and enjoy a calendar of activities — teatime in the gardens, educational programs for kids, outdoor concerts, yoga classes, dinners aux jardins, and more — all within picture-perfect fields overlooking the Carlsbad coastline; the site is fairly accessible for all travelers." - Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien Jessica Poitevien is an international storyteller and regular contributor to Travel + Leisure.
