Every year sees tens of thousands of animals and birds move around the country as they head to sunnier climates and breeding grounds. In my experience, nothing is better than seeing such spectacles of nature, and if you pick the right time, you and your family should be able to witness these migrations up close.
Plan the dates ahead of time to get a front-row seat to some of the most breathtaking sights in the world. My family and I have witnessed several such migrations, and we still have several to go before we complete our bucket list.
Every year, around 23,000 elephant seals gather on California’s Central Coast near San Luis Obispo to mate and give birth. If you’re heading to Hearst Castle and the surrounding areas, chances are you'll be able to catch sight of these huge, sluggish sea creatures. We usually stop by during the first week of January and are treated to lots of loud, strange noises and bunches of baby seals.
