California town bans access to canyon site of 2019 poppy super bloom to avoid huge crowds -

Part of the issue is that many of those who came to see the poppy blooms were not prepared for the conditions in the canyon itself. The city does not project the 2023 poppy bloom to match that of 2019, but Lake Elsinore, 60 miles southeast of Los Angeles, has taken precautions nonetheless.
