Cherry Blossoms
Come each May, travelers arrive in Door County from far and wide to see the spectacular pageantry of cherry blossom trees, just as they do in Washington D.C., Seattle, Tokyo, and beyond. But unlike those busy big cities, Door County’s highways, byways, orchards, farmlands, and sidewalks will still be quiet and uncrowded. On a soft spring morning, take a bike ride or a scenic drive to capture a few photographs of the blossoms, take in their faint but deeply pleasant aroma, admire the delicate white and pink petals, and witness one of springtime's most dazzling displays up close.
Cherry blossoms typically peak in mid-May. Over a 2-week period, the blossoms will sweep from south to north, coloring the countryside with their white and pink hues.
