Why January

Trail conditions are poor after heavy rainfall and daylight is short. The gray whale southbound migration more than compensates. From the cliff edge at 1,200 feet you can watch spouts crossing the Pacific without leaving the property, and without sharing it with anyone.

What's possible this month
Watch southbound gray whale spouts from the cliff edge at peak migration
Join a guided morning nature walk on clear days before rain arrives
Scan for California condors on the coastal ridge on dry mornings
Take an evening stargazing session above the Pacific with near-zero light pollution
