Lake Elsinore, Poppy Superbloom 2019

Panaramic view of Lake Elsinore, from Lookout Roadhouse, Ortega Highway 74. In the distance, eastward, the mountains are ablaze with orange poppies, the California State Flower. The "superbloom" only occurs every few years. <br />
From I-15, take Lake St. exit and park anywhere along Walker Canyon Road. The hike up Hilltop fireroad is a good workout and provides great views of the poppy fields.
