For more than sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately eight to ten weeks each year - from early March through early May - literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.

Want to ride the rails and explore on your electric or road bike? The tour begins at the Solana Beach Train Station where you will board the train, with your bike, headed to Carlsbad Village.  The train follows the coastline, so you can enjoy spectacular views along the way. Once off the train in Carlsbad, your bike adventure will begin.   As you ride back to Solana Beach you will enjoy incredible coastline vistas, white sand beaches, meditation gardens, local history, and restaurants to experience for lunch. The bike riding leg of the tour is about 16 miles with up to 14 stops along the way.

Get ready to cozy up under the stars! Join us for a relaxing evening by the campfire on Saturday, February 22nd, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. with our firepit rentals.
