Nothing plain about it

The Carrizo Plain National Monument is a unique attraction in California—not just because of its breathtaking, colorful views, but also due to its quiet, isolated feel. Just a few hours from Los Angeles, it covers almost 250,000 acres along the base of the Temblor Mountains, giving visitors a chance to escape the crowds and experience nature. In spring, wildflowers cover the hills and valley floor, creating the amazing scene pictured here. The area also features other diverse plant species, including several listed as threatened or endangered. Wildlife includes antelope and elk, as well as rare species such as the San Joaquin kit fox, the blunt-nosed leopard lizard, and the giant kangaroo rat.

这件事没什么明显的

卡里佐平原国家纪念碑是加利福尼亚独特的景点，不仅因为它令人叹为观止、景色丰富，而且由于它安静、孤立的感觉。距离洛杉矶仅几个小时，它就覆盖了近25万英亩的TEMBLOL山脉，让游客有机会逃离人群，体验大自然。春天，山间和山谷的地面上都是野花，创造了这里的惊艳景象。该地区还拥有其他多样的植物物种，包括被列为濒危或濒危植物的几种。野生动物包括羚羊和麋鹿，以及稀有物种，如圣约金基特狐狸、钝鼻豹蜥和巨大袋鼠。
