Death Valley National Park - Natural Bridge Trail - Wildflowers

If you don't keep a close eye on the trail as you hike down from Natural Bridge, you might end up in the wrong place. Near the parking lot, the trail separates from the wash. I didn't realize where I was until I saw the parking lot in the distance. I didn't mind, though. Because of my mistake I found a spot where wildflowers were springing up everywhere.

These are just a few of the flowers I found flourishing in the dry wash. Of course, I'm sure it wasn't dry a few months earlier, during the heavy rains of 2004 and 2005.

Tip:

Death Valley posts updates on the wildflower bloom every spring. You can reach that website by clicking here. Generally, the bloom starts on the valley floor around mid-February. By the end of April those flowers are mostly gone, but by then, wildflowers in higher elevations should be in full bloom. Above 4,000 feet, the bloom can last until early June.
