The Carrizo Plain National Monument sprawling over an area of 99881 hectares, is a large native enclosed grassland and one of the hidden gems of California where you will feel close to the nature and hear the silence of nature through the fragrance of the wildflowers that sweep in the breeze. Home to a plethora of wildlife and plant species, some of which are listed in the IUCN category as endangered or threatened species, this national park is ecologically and culturally important. As you reach the monument through the carved valleys, natural and artificial mountains, you will find ravines, ridges and dry ponds in the subtle arrangement of the ridges. The Soda Lake, Painted Rock, open grasslands that look like a colourful carpet in flowering season and the alkali wetlands are the distinct features of the place. If you are searching for a natural paradise, here it is.
