Carrizo Plains

On Monday we took a drive on Hwy 58 out to the Carizzo Plains National Monument. I heard the wildflowers were in bloom so we went to take pictures. We had a great day.

We were barely out of Santa Margarita when we had to stop and take pictures. The rolling hills were bright green and the flowers were everywhere.





Carizzo is an amazing place. The center of the plains is an ancient lakebed called Soda Lake. The hills around were covered in yellow, orange, and purple patches.





Even the highway was beautiful.
