This zone is known as the hottest and driest place in North America. The park noted that the current flowering season has become one of the brightest since 2016.
Scientists paid special attention to the blooming of the bright flower Desert Gold, which turns huge areas of desert soil into a golden carpet. It is joined by purple phacelia, snow-white Gravel Ghosts, pink sand verbena and other species.
The low-elevation areas of the park are now in peak bloom, which will last until about mid-to-late March, weather permitting. In the highlands, flowering begins in April and lasts until June, providing a long season for tourists and photographers.
Park officials urge visitors to follow the rules: do not remove plants, disturb rocks or cultural artifacts, and use designated trails, roads and parking areas to avoid damaging the fragile desert ecosystem.
