[Campers Inn RV](https://blog.campersinn.com/blog/author/campers-inn-rv) 15 March, 2017 ![brian-fegter-57828.jpg](https://blog.campersinn.com/hubfs/brian-fegter-57828.jpg) **With Spring right around the corner, RVers are starting to plan their adventures for the year.** What better way to say goodbye to the dark, cold winter than enjoying one of the best shows nature puts on, as wildflowers of all colors, shapes, and sizes begin to bloom? We have selected three great wildflower celebrations where RVers can savor the vibrant displays that will soon burst out all over the country.  **![best places to see wildflowers](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wild1.jpeg?width=326&height=489&name=wild1.jpeg)** **[Great Smoky Mountain Spring Wildflower Pilgrimage](http://www.springwildflowerpilgrimage.org/)** Gatlinburg, TN. April 11-15, 2017 Every spring, the Great Smoky Mountains bloom with over 1,400 different species of wildflowers. For four days in April, the city of Gatlinburg, TN hosts an [annual wildflower pilgrimage](https://www.wildflowerpilgrimage.org/) that features hikes throughout the adjacent National Park and educational programs on local flora and fauna. Each day offers dozens of activities, and the wildflower walks vary in length and intensity for hikers of different skill levels. Visitors can see painted trilliums, dwarf ginseng, fringed phacelia, and much, much more! The Pilgrimage also offers birding trips, including a 2 hour “Owl Prowl” led by a former National Park Ranger. Other programs explore edible mushrooms, aquatic insects, nature photography, and Appalachian herbs. The Pilgrimage is a must for nature lovers of all kinds. **![types of wildflowers in virginia](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wild2.jpeg?width=528&height=352&name=wild2.jpeg)** **[Shenandoah National Park Wildflower Weekend](https://www.nps.gov/shen/wildflower-weekend-youth-art-contest.htm)** Luray, VA. May 6-7, 2017 Shenandoah National Park is home to over 860 wildflower species, and flowers start blooming in early spring and continue throughout the summer.  In May, the park [celebrates with a weekend](https://www.nps.gov/shen/wildflower-weekend-youth-art-contest.htm) full of hikes led by rangers and naturalists. Saturday begins with three morning hike options. Visitors can hunt for vernal irises and birdfoot violets up Bearfence Mountain or revel in the trillium and jack-in-the-pulpits along the Wonders of the Mill Prong. Another hike heads up the park’s tallest peak, Hawksbill Mountain. More hikes occur in the afternoon, including a new trail where hikers can discover what flowers may lay along its route. Sunday hikes bring visitors along the Appalachian trail and through a former apple orchard. The weekend also features a Wildflower Art Contest for local school children. ![wildflower festival in my area](https://blog.campersinn.com/hs-fs/hubfs/wild3.jpeg?width=456&height=304&name=wild3.jpeg) [Crested Butte Wildflower Festival](https://www.crestedbuttewildflowerfestival.com/) Crested Butte, CO.
