This parkland, 70 driving miles east of Monterey, has more than 80% of its plants blooming from March through May. Particularly in April, its Juniper Canyon Trail is awash with golden yarrow, elegant clarkia, the popcorn flower, milkmaid, Douglas's wallflower, Parry's larkspur, common phacelia and the blue and white fiesta flower.
