Description
A gorgeous wall of wildflowers flows down onto rocks at the base of a hill on Figueroa Mountain in Los Olivos, California. This is a sight that has overwhelmed drivers to the point that they just stop their cars in the middle of the road to stare at this incredible scene!! Better pull over though, because there will be another gawker coming up right behind you!!!
If you happen to stumble onto this photo, please check out my extensive line of wildflower photos from Texas, California, and a few other random places. I have galleries for the states, as well as a collective Wildflower Gallery.
Figueroa Mountain is part of the Los Padres National Forest and is located near the quaint little Scandinavian town of Solvang, and up the mountain from Michael Jackson's famous Neverland Ranch.
Wildflowers, snow season and summer campouts are the seasonal high notes for Figueroa Mountain, a wilderness paradise accessible from the Santa Ynez Valley.
Trails, horseback riding, off road vehicle use, mountain biking, fishing, camping and backpacking, seasonal hunting, shooting and photography are all popular recreational uses on the mountain. Be prepared to bring your own water and firewood and have an appropriate vehicle for a dirt/gravel road if you plan to travel past the front side. All roads past the base of Figueroa Mountain Road are narrow, frequently steep with little shoulder room, and require cautious driving.
