Spring is the best time to see wildflowers in the Sierra Nevada, as the snow melts and meadows come alive with color.

Spring, typically from late April to early June, is the prime season for wildflower viewing in the Sierra Nevada. As the snow melts, meadows and foothills burst into bloom with a variety of colorful wildflowers, such as Indian paintbrush, lupines, and poppies. The best displays are often found at lower elevations, while the higher-altitude areas may have a shorter blooming period. Springtime offers a brief but stunning window for wildflower enthusiasts to explore the vibrant natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada's landscapes.
