The views are drop-dead beautiful and inspiring. You can’t help but marvel at nature’s canvas. Just like spring itself, it’s the perfect antidote for the blahs or a case of weekend don’t-know-what-to-do.
Thousands of people drive or bicycle a route lined with meticulously groomed orchards featuring millions of almond and fruit buds.

This week, the almond orchards are coming into full bloom (white blossoms) and there have been several sightings of apricot and early peach blooms (pink), goblossomtrail.com reports.
Thanks for sharing – a few Blossom lovers were able to enjoy these blooms and the opportunity to dine a the Blossom Trail Café! https://t.co/gfoeE6cv71

Eastside communities use the blossom season to showcase their restaurants, cafes, and other businesses. In addition, several events provide the option of combining blossom viewing with a favorite activity such as cycling or wine tasting.
