    Gray whales are beginning to appear off Point Reyes, CA as they travel south on their annual migration.

    Because the point juts ten miles out to sea, it provides a prime spot to see the giant mammals as they journey south from waters off the coast of Siberia and Alaska to the warmer waters of Baja .

    The Point Reyes National Seashore is planning to offer bus rides from the Ken Patrick Visitor Center at Drakes Beach to viewing areas such as Chimney Rock and the historic lighthouse.

    The rides were scheduled to begin Saturday, but a park ranger says they could be canceled if it rains.

      I’m incredibly jealous. You’re going to watch them, aren’t you?

      We were planning on heading out there this weekend, but now a huge storm is rolling in and will stick around all weekend….so the very next weekend there isn’t a nasty storm, we’re going! I’ve actually never seen a whale in person!
