...Central Valley grassy plains meld into sugar pine trees as the elevation climbs with several 180 degree corners as the road runs up a mountainous finger into the Los Padres National Forest....

...Cerro Noroeste Road (aka Mil Potrero Highway/Cuddy Road) along the Ventura/Kern county border is a beautiful drive. Klipstein Canyon Road, which intersects Cerro Noroeste Road, drops you down into a small canyon that is positively carpeted with cream cups (Platystemon californicus), poppies, and phacelia. Klipstein Canyon Road does not go through, so park and explore the flowers by foot. Be on the lookout for the deep orange wind poppies (Stylomecon heterophylla), which look more like Iceland poppies than our familiar California poppies.
