Wildflowers at Hungry Valley
2009 Wildflower Update [May 15, 2009]
Due to the past week’s strong, dry winds, the wildflower bloom at Hungry Valley has faded and only a few patches of Poppies remain along Peace Valley Road. Hungry Valley wildflower tours are over for the season and will resume next spring.
The wildflowers of Tejon Pass are world renown for their color and abundance. In spring, California Poppies, Goldfields, Lupine, Tidy Tips and other flowers turn the grassy hillsides brilliant shades of orange, yellow and purple. During wildflower season, Hungry Valley SVRA has a self-guided tour route that begins at the Visitor Center and is marked by distinctive blue and white flower signs. (

The park annually publishes an informative guide to the native wildflowers of the Tejon Pass. These guides are available Monday through Friday at the Hungry Valley District office located at 46001 Orwin Way, Gorman, CA or at the Visitor Center and entrance stations on the weekends.
In the height of blossom, two-hour guided tours by rangers are available on the weekends. Weekly updates on the wildflower bloom are provided every Thursday afternoon during the wildflower season.
For an update on the availability of tours and the most current flower conditions, wildflower enthusiasts are encouraged to call the numbers listed below, the district office at (661) 248-7007 or to check this webpage before visiting the park. Admission to the park is $5.
