The fall haul out season, which is discussed in the book I reviewed, Shelby the Brave Little Pup, by Julia Stanert and illustrated by Jayne Koontz is September 1st to November 30th at Ano Nuevo State Park.
Ano Nuevo State Park is breathtaking in every season as the elephant seals can be viewed year-round.
The fall haul out season is September 1st to November 30th. This is the time at summer's end when most elephant seals are returning to the sea to feed. Small numbers of one to three year old juveniles haul out on remote beaches as part of their early development.
During the "fall haul out" the natural preserve is open for self-guided hiking by visitor permit only. The free permit can be obtained daily from the entrance station, between 8:30AM and 3:30PM only. No reservations are required and no guided walks are offered. Visitors must leave the natural reserve by 5:00PM.
It is important to plan to arrive early enough to obtain a permit and make the four to five mile hike before 5:00PM, which takes about three hours.
