Wildflowers sprouting up in the desert are the outcome of the above-average fall and winter rainfall in Arizona. Why does one enjoy wildflowers? The simple answer…They just do!! A more complex answer requires a look deep into the psyche, and how certain colors touch our souls and why they may contain connotations that trigger beautiful memories. Maybe we just appreciate the aroma? Perhaps the sight of a sea of desert poppies opens a place in our minds susceptible only to the very beauty we are witnessing. Once opened, we choose to continue the experience and appreciate the colors throughout spring during what could be an absolutely epic Arizona wildflower season. Learn where to see the show over the next couple months below. Don’t wait to enjoy these splashes of color; before long they will be reduced to colorful memories.
Whether you’re visiting Arizona to take advantage of great weather and spring training games or a resident heading to a ballgame, Arizona’s outfield has lots to offer baseball fans after the last pitch. Coming from out of town?
Bring your RV or book a
cozy cabin within a short drive of the ballpark. After the game, stretch your legs on a park trail, experience the wide variety of birds and wildlife, or just spend time amid the beautiful desert landscapes found within Arizona’s state parks.
There's plenty of scenic state parks within a short drive from many of the Cactus League ballparks.
Use this guide to choose a location that offers the type of experience you are expecting, then go! It's just that easy...
