Abstract:

Monarch butterflies begin their migration to Mexico from southern Canada and the eastern United States in late August. Many of the 100 million travelers will cover 3,000 miles at speeds of 10 mph. In mid-September the monarchs pass through North Carolina. The best areas to view them are along the beaches and gaps along the Blue Ridge Parkway and other mountain roads.
