There’s also Hipcamp, which is an app used to find and book campsites, which launched a brand-new superbloom forecasting tool that allows users to utilize an interactive map to see bloom windows and practical visitation guidance.The bloom is expected to keep going through mid to late March, weather permitting, the NPS said.
