The Monarch Butterfly Nature Preserve is a serene sanctuary in Pacific Grove, right on the coast of the eponymous ocean, midway along the Monterey Peninsula.
The preserve provides a vital habitat for the majestic monarch butterfly during its annual migration, and by doing this hike you'll witness the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of monarch butterflies clustering together in the shelter of the pine and eucalyptus trees.
The preserve has a tranquil atmosphere, and its stunning natural beauty makes it a great place to enjoy a little serenity on the Pacific Coast. As well as the butterflies, hiking the Monarch Butterfly Nature Preserve also allows you to stroll beautiful trails and enjoy some vast ocean views. Written by Charlie Boscoe
