You may have to stop at a trailhead and walk into the forest to find them, though, because everything next to the road is covered in dust.
Peak wildflower bloom at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is typically from early May through mid-June, but there may be some flowers blooming from mid-April until the end of June.*
