“In 1542, Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo set sail from Baja California northbound to Alta California. He went further north than anyone before him, and though he would not return from this voyage, most of his men would. The discoveries they made were not only of new lands and people, but also of the extreme and threatening conditions that would challenge mariners sailing the west coast for hundreds of years to come.
Celebrate national Hispanic Heritage Month with Park Ranger-led programs for the whole family.”
