Headlands Beach State Park

Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Lighthouse located in Headland Dunes State Nature Preserve in Ohio

It's an iconic lighthouse first lit June 9, 1925 and still a working lighthouse

In this scenario, the big #adventure belongs to the butterfly.

The monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) are migrating down from Canada to overwintering sites in Mexico.

Right now, large numbers of monarch butterflies are gathering and resting along the northern coast of Ohio after their exhausting trek across Lake Erie.

This unfathomable annual ritual has to be one of the world's most incredible natural occurrences.
