Death Valley Natural History Association Flower Report
Written By: David Blacker, DVNHA Executive Director
Early signs suggest a strong wildflower season in Death Valley. While large areas are not yet in full bloom, conditions remain favorable in the weeks ahead.
Current Conditions
The theme for this report is, “Things are getting better every day!” We are seeing increased levels of greenery and more isolated blooming flowers than in our last report. The reconnaissance in our report of the park begins at the Park Entrance sign coming from Death Valley Junction. It follows Highway 190 through the park to the North Highway, including Badwater, Mud Canyon Road, and Beatty Cutoff Road.
Outlook
We are looking at good weather continuing through February 7th with highs in the upper 70’s to 80 degrees. This could kick off the beginning of the bloom, but I think we are still at least two weeks from seeing flowers. How long they will last after they come up will depend entirely on the weather. We need mild temperatures and mild winds. If we get them, we could have flowers into May. Make sure you get your reservations soon and keep your fingers crossed!
Until next time,
