Truthfully, it is 'manageable chaos' but SO worth it! A truly "once-in-a-lifetime" event, 2017 was good, but THIS is a lollapalooza SUPERBLOOM!! For 35 years, I have taken that offramp daily, NEVER has it been this AMAZING! If you exit Lake St. and go North, Walker Canyon Road parallels the freeway, park along Walker Canyon Road. During the week may be better, but as soon as it warms up at all, the poppies are gone! Do it!
Yes..along the dirt road
There is free parking at the trail head. If you are attempting to go during a super bloom, then you need to check with the city's website to find out about road closures and shuttles.
Park right there at the Dead end where dirt road begins
