Going out to the nature is probably the best thing you can
do with your child. We try to go on short hikes every weekend, but this one was
never on my list. A friend who lives close by suggested and I was amazed by
this local beauty.
Ulistac Natural Area is known as the last forest
in Santa Clara, and is a lovely spot to watch and count Monarch butterflies and
explore in an unhurried manner.
If you walk through the garden and creek area, you will see
several numbered Monarch Observation signs. These particular areas are
typically where you can observe the most Monarch activity while at Ulistac. We
saw 3 Monarch and plenty other butterflies, bugs, birds and plants, climbed
trees and smelled the flowers.
We had a great time and we heard the Monarch population is
usually more active, and even though we only saw 3, I highly recommend this
hike!
The path is wide and you can bring a stroller. It is mostly
in the sun, so choose a day accordingly, and don’t forget your hats, sunscreen and water.
