When to Go
Wildflowers carpet the valleys of Chino Hills State Park each spring (March through May), and this is the busiest time to visit. Time your visit for late March or early April to see the famous California poppies. Hiking and camping are possible year-round, depending on the weather. Note that the park closes for at least two days following heavy rainfall (more than a quarter-inch) to protect its clay trails, as well as in times of high fire risk.
