"Poppies and desert chicory are among the many species that add vibrancy to Saguaro National Park's desert landscape. The park's primary wildflower season runs from spring through early fall; the displays are most vibrant after steady rains late in the year, as was the case with its "banner year" for blooms in 2019. Even if the conditions aren't perfect, Saguaro flowers impress throughout the year, adding contrast to the park's signature attraction: colossal cacti. See wildflowers on trails like Bridal Wreath Falls and Valley View Overlook." - Travel + Leisure Editors
