Coronado Butterfly Preserve
add photosIn this wooded grove, thousands of monarch butterflies come to rest as they migrate south. Visitors can walk the trails to the eucalyptus trees where the butterflies roost in large groups. The woods are roped off to keep visitors from disturbing them.
Butterflies arrive in mid-November and stay until around the end of February.

"Amazing butterflies"
My kids enjoyed the relatively easy hike across wooded hills and across several creeks. They didn't realize that they were looking at a large mass of butterflies because they looked like dead leaves hanging from the trees. When they realized that they were all clustered and hanging together, they became amazed at the large group of them. Then they realized that there were many, many groups of butterflies. WOW!
Their Oma told them that on field trips with her class, many times after the sun warms the butterflies, they began to flutter about and fill the air with their beautiful orange and black colors. We can't wait to come back and see them again!
