| Abstract: |
In 2023, as a wet winter following drought promised another superbloom, authorities acted fast to protect both people and habitat, announcing in February Walker Canyon's immediate closure to visitors. Amid blooming California poppies, the state's official flower, tourists walk off-trail along a new path carved out by previous visitors to Walker Canyon in the spring of 2019. Transformed by heavy rains after years of drought, the dun-colored hillsides of Southern California's Walker Canyon (above) exploded with carpets of vibrant orange poppies in spring 2019 - as once-calm country roads became gridlocked by visitors vying to see the flowers (below).
