In-Person Field Trip: Spring Season Self-Guided Walk at Año Nuevo

Explore the reserve on your own and discover a different part of the northern elephant seal lifecycle. During the spring, adult and juvenile seals cluster along the beaches and molt their skin and fur while weaned pups prepare for their first ocean migration. Spring wildflowers and wildlife are also abundant. Docent guides may be available upon request. Once registered, please follow the instructions in your confirmation email to request a guide at no cost. The spring season receives fewer park visitors and allows more flexibility for school visits. This 2-hour program is appropriate for grades K-12 and available in April and May.
