The wildflowers are expected to be especially great this year — and early scouting is as close as your computer.
Just go to the Arizona State Parks Web site www.azstateparks.com, then log on to Ranger Cam.
As of late Tuesday, photos included yellow and white poppies blooming at Picacho Peak State Park on President's Day. Each set of photos comes with directions and other information.
