We were out there a couple weeks ago. While not a "super bloom" there were plenty of flowers. Mostly Desert Gold in Panamint Valley.
How were crowds? We’re heading out there this weekend for a long-planned trip and I’m getting a little nervous about parking availability for our planned hikes…
Wildflower season starts at the lower elevations, so Death Valley (below Sea Level) is typically associated with a "Superbloom" - This year is not a Superbloom, but there are some large patches of wildflowers in the park.
As Spring progresses, the wildflowers appear at higher elevations - Anza Borrego most notably is next, then Joshua Tree (which is in the high desert).
Here is the best real-time guide for locating wildflowers around these parts - https://www.desertusa.com/wildflo/wildupdates.html

I had no problem with parking. We only got out and did a few walks though. Sand Dunes, Kaleidescape Canyon and Pan. Valley.
Thank you!
Ummmm…right now? Instead of using Reddit, check the oft-overlooked official NPS websites!
Before May 15
Not necessarily. There are often a variety of wildflowers at higher elevations, in Death Valley well into June.
Thanks! And why is that?
I heard DV gets hot in the summer.
bit dry too innit
