October is a special time of year at Monarch Grove Sanctuary in Pacific Grove, California. That’s when you can witness the annual migration of the monarch butterfly. The pines and eucalyptus trees of the Sanctuary are saturated with the colorful insects that overwinter in this pleasant climate every year. If you thought this only happened in Mexico, you’re not imagining things. Monarchs east of the Rocky Mountains do indeed spend their winters in high mountains in central Mexico. Monarchs west of the Rockies migrate to locations on the central California coast. This spectacular event on the coast has earned the town the nickname Butterfly Town. Led by a team of dedicated docents, you can reach the Sanctuary at Ridge Road between Lighthouse Avenue and Short Street.
