Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve


Below are a few pictures I took at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Preserve, which is located off of Highway 138, near Lancaster CA. The poppies weren't full in bloom as they were last year due to the dry winter and late rains. But there were patches of poppies out there, as well as other flowers, such as lupine and goldfields. I wish I would have gone last year to see.

The preserve is 1800 acres of land with 7 miles of trails. There is a visitor center where you can buy souvenirs and things. The cost to get in is $5 per vehicle.
