Yadira Downing:

"It's a small place. You can see butterflies high in the trees. If you're lucky enough, you may even see them close up. On this particular day, they were visible from high up in the trees. There's no cost to enter, so there's no need for tickets."

"I had been here many years before, this time not as many monarchs in the past. The interpretive guids are very informative. The cost is free, although a cash donation is recommended. If visiting Pacific Grove October thru January this should definitely be on your must see list"

"The butterflies cluster on branches quite high in the tree so they’re a little hard to see, have to use telescope or cameras to see them in details. Heard from some locals that around thanksgiving might be the better time to see. We were able to take some pictures using the 20x zoom in with iPhone. The whole walk is like 2 minutes, but worth it since it’s so unique."

"It was a beautiful weekend all along Highway 1 this weekend. Monarchs have arrived in the thousands. The parking lot was full, but it didn't take long to get a spot. It is a short trail. There are restrooms on-site. A volunteer was present to answer any and all questions guests had. There are not many benches, but if you do happen to snag one while there, it is so relaxing to sit while enjoying the views and the aroma of the trees."

"This is a very small foot path that runs along side people’s backyards and a hotel. It gets very crowded quickly. The butterflies don’t start flying around until it’s warmer. I went November 1st and they started flying around 10am. I had went earlier in the morning but couldn’t see the butterflies since they were so still and hidden that they looked like leaves. I highly recommend a good camera and binoculars. This was not worth a several hour drive. I only recommend this place if you’re already in the area. It literally is a 2 minute walking path and most the butterflies are in the backyards of homeowners so you have to stare into other peoples property to see the butterflies. There wasn’t very many when I went early November so I recommend waiting u til the end of the month. There isn’t a building or any kind of guides that most other sanctuaries have."
