Rare California “Super Bloom” Ignites Rolling Hills with Fields of Fiery Orange Poppies

More than 50,000 people from around the world trekked 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles to this picturesque locale in order to witness the recent super bloom in Walker Canyon. This rare phenomenon, caused by above-average rainfall, produced vibrant orange poppies on the Temescal Mountains.
