This is me 35 years ago, lol!! It was the most wonderful place & the most wonderful job I could have ever imagined.
Sincerely,
Cabrillo National Monument
This park celebrates the explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, the first European to set foot on the California coast. A museum exhibition documents Cabrillo's life and travels, as well as early California native peoples and industries. The site also features abundant natural beauty: hillsides covered with flowers, birds nesting in the trees and lizards darting across every pathway. A lookout point near the park's Old Point Loma Lighthouse provides one of the best places anywhere on land to observe migrating gray whales.
State(s): California
Established: 1913
