Pinnacles National Park has a very heated history. About 23 million years ago (try wrapping your head around that number) multiple volcanoes erupted and slid down the surrounding landscape to create what is now known as Pinnacles National Park. This volatile beginning left an exquisite and unique terrain behind, and it’s just waiting to be explored!
The National Park is overflowing with exciting natural wonders to explore. The park has more than 30 miles of trails through which visitors can experience the breadth of rock formations on the land.
Rock climbers rejoice! Pinnacles has a wide spectrum of climbing options from easy topropes for the less experienced climber to multi-pitch, advanced climbs along Machete Ridge.
There are several caves in the National Park that bear exploration as well. Bear Gulch Cave and Balconies Cave are perhaps the two most popular and accessible adventures.
Bats aren't the only wildlife you might spot on this trip. The area is known for Condor sightings and the park has a rescue program in place for the California birds.
Whether you come to view the rock formations, climb a cliff face, delve into cave structures or scout for Condors, Pinnacles National Park caters to every interest.
