When there is enough spring rain, wildflowers go wild in the hills around Reno and Northern Nevada. Great places to enjoy wildflowers are the Huffaker Hills in south Reno, Washoe Lake State Park further south toward Carson City, and up a bit higher around Virginia City. (While we try, we are amateurs at identification and may get some of them wrong. Feel free to use our Contact Us form to set us straight if you see a mistake.)
