During the winter, clusters of orange wings cover the trees in Monarch butterfly groves in Pismo Beach, Nipomo, Los Osos and Morro Bay. (Researchers have counted up to 230,000 Monarch butterflies in a single season at the Pismo State Beach Butterfly Grove.) As the weather warms in spring, the butterflies begin migrating north. Western Monarchs can travel over 1,000 miles to reach their next migration point. Western Monarchs live west of the Rockies and migrate up and down the West Coast, between southern Canada and San Diego. Eastern Monarchs, on the other hand, live east of the Rocky Mountains and migrate south each winter to Mexico.

A hiker’s paradise, Los Osos lies in a valley at the edge of the Pacific Ocean. A hike on the coast might cross a mix of rugged bluffs, sand dunes, a calm estuary or mountains that peak above the fog line. Just inland, find trails that lead beneath canopies of native oak trees. Due to coastal influence, the climate in Los Osos is temperate, with highs between 63 degrees F and 70 degrees F year-round. In other words, you couldn’t find a more comfortable destination for a hike!
