Carrizo Plains National Monument is home to endangered species such as the San Joaquin kit fox, and the giant kangaroo rat. It is also home to some of the most spectacular wildflower shows in Southern California. In 2017 the Carrizo Plains received record rainfall and the resulting wildflower blooms brought visitors from near and far to frolic in the #green fields lush with desert candles, phacelia and sunflowers!

Nice room and quiet. Not as many businesses open downstairs, but Finca was excellent on the corner and staff at Gravesend were also great to sit and chat with while having a drink. Super easy check-in with info texted to you. No keys or fuss. Room was clean and bed and chairs were comfortable.
