It’s time to go wildflowers! Find flower-powered spring walks using POST’s complimentary 2025 Wildflower Walks guide.

This ultimate petal-pushing guide tells you the premier places to see a bevy of blooms in the Peninsula and South Bay.

A bit of boomerang weather this season isn’t such a bad thing; once we hit a stretch of sunny days, colorful blossoms will pop, thanks to the region’s serpentine soils.

POST’s Wildflower Walks guide has curated ideas for all ages and abilities—so you get to choose the best place for your flower fix.

Get the scoop on the best wildflower trails, combine ridge views with California poppies, or go for the full trifecta of wildflowers, wildlife, and wowing panoramas.

Live your best wildflower life with a little help from POST!

Keep the beauty blooming: It’s always nice to smell the flowers or get in for that close-up floral photo, but please be mindful and stay on the trail.

Since 1977, POST has been working hard to safeguard over 90,000 acres of open space on the Peninsula and in the South Bay for the benefit of all.
