In Death Valley, the park's staff uses "superbloom" when "there are so many flowers that the hills are colored with flowers, visible from a distance," says public information officer Jennette Jurado. " By late winter, multiple hillsides in Death Valley met that standard, marking the first superbloom in the park since 2016. This abundance of yellow, pink, and purple flowers is the result of key weather conditions aligning, including sufficient sunlight, rain, temperature, and wind.
