【September 10 2015】Head west from the campus of the University of California-Santa Cruz and you’ll arrive at a state park that features more than the titular stone arch. The tide pools here are so rich with diverse Pacific marine life, they’re among the most beloved features of the park. Inland is a eucalyptus grove that, from October to February, is the wintertime home for tens of thousands of monarch butterflies, which roost until spring weather inspires them to migrate north.Explore breathtaking Gallery from the HuluTrip homepage over the past 5 years..
