California: the Butterfly Coast
Author: admin
If you're looking for a truly spectacular nature event this winter, consider California's Butterfly Coast.
From mid-October through February each year, early morning crowds of hushed nature lovers gather in California's coastal eucalyptus groves… Basketball-sized clusters of what appear to be brown leaves start to rustle and stir. The air fills with orange and black wings, and a monarch butterfly parade begins.
You don't have to make the trip just for the butterflies. Betsy Malloy has a long list of things to do in California in the winter. And with the travel industry in a slump at the moment, you can probably get some of the best prices of your life.
