{{QuoteBox|There are 12 known pockets of [[forest]]s in Mexico where Monarchs gather for the winter. They have been seen in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico by the tens of millions, and estimated at 4 million butterflies per acre. All wintering sites are about 9,000 feet in elevation, generally cold with [[frost]]s at times. ...  The majority of Monarchs from the east side of the [[Rocky Mountains]] overwinter in Mexico, but those from west of the Rockies overwinter in groves of Monterey pines or eucalyptus trees at sites along the California coast, from [[San Francisco]] to [[Los Angeles]].}}
