One has to search in the rocky areas for the bright red Claret-cup cactus flowers, but soon there will be brilliant red, orange, yellow, and white cactus flowers from prickly pear and others. A word of caution – give the flowers a few more weeks to show up, as Spring Break crowds may prevent you from getting into the park at all, even on weekdays.
