After a traumatic weekend at the poppy fields, Lake Elsinore, California, city officials have shut down Walker Canyon to the public.


The western Riverside County city of near 66,000 people saw thousands of visitors arrive in droves to see the Super Bloom, grid-locking Interstate 15 and city streets around the trailhead.

The city called it a public safety emergency using hashtags like #PoppyShutdown, #PoppyNightmare, #IsItOverYet, and #HanginthereLE, according to an announcement on their Facebook page.

No shuttles or visitors will be allowed into Walker Canyon.

“This weekend has been unbearable,” the Facebook post said. “We will evaluate all options next week including ways to shut this down. …We know it has been miserable and has caused unnecessary hardships for our entire community.”

Yes, it was the drove angle that got me ...
Also note that most of the reply posts on the other thread were ridiculing people ... kinda unpleasant.

Who would’ve ever thought the Inland Empire being more magically than Disneyland itself Oh so NOW the snobby OC coastal elite are driving in masses than the IE heading towards the direction of OC beaches. It’s no surprise really, Disneyland is sterile, human made, overpriced and fake. This Superbloom is pure nature and FREE.
