The hillsides of the Jackson area are ablaze with flowers right now. As you drive a few miles south of Jackson on Hwy 49, first you’ll see the bright colors of Poppies blanketing the hills. From there, I just explored around on a few side roads finding the following: Poppies, Lupines, Blue dicks, Popcorn Flowers, Fiddlenecks, Baby Blue Eyes and many more I don’t know off the top of my head. The most spectacular views are atop the hillsides so be prepared for some steep hikes (if that is your thing) or you can just admire from below. Well worth taking a day and enjoying a piece of California’s beauty.
