Neenach, CA · Thu, 12 Mar 2026. 11am.
This morning Hawk and I drove from our hotel in Lebec (above "The Grapevine") toward the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in Antelope Valley north of Los Angeles. It's a great place to see the colorful California poppy, and now is peak blooming season for the wildflower.
The preserve, which is a state park, is only about 45 minutes away from where we stayed last night. We didn't get all the way there, though. Not yet, anyway. We took a detour near the tiny village of Neenach because we saw beautiful fields of poppies nearby. Take a look at this video of highlights from our voyage.
I've tagged this blog "4x4" even though we didn't go off road, per se. We drove on public roads the whole time. But miles and miles of them out here in the sparsely populated northwest corner of Los Angeles County are dirt surfaces with ruts and occasional mud puddles.
Keep reading: The adventure continues at the Poppy Reserve!
