"As you might have already spotted on Instagram, every spring, the fields of Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve outside L.A. come alight with saffron-hued poppy blossoms as far as the eye can see. In general, the best time to visit for a glimpse of this natural wonder as well as a myriad of other wildflowers (and even coyotes and mountain lions) is from mid-February through May. The reserve features more than eight miles of trails, including a paved section for wheelchair access. The hike most folks opt for is around three miles long and takes 90 minutes with a 230-foot elevation gain, making it perfect for avid outdoor enthusiasts and weekend warriors alike." - Travel + Leisure Editors
